Verdict
The RM10,000 step to the MG 4 XPOWER buys a second motor, all-wheel drive and startling 3.8-second 0-100 km/h pace, versus 6.1 seconds for the MG 4 EXTD Range. But the EXTD Range’s 77 kWh battery delivers a far more useful 520 km range, 135 km ahead of the XPOWER, while annual road tax is RM240 rather than RM615. Both retain 11 kW AC and 150 kW DC charging, autonomous braking and adaptive cruise control. For most Malaysian buyers, range wins; the XPOWER is for drivers who will exploit its performance.
Pick the MG 4 EXTD Range if you want 520 km of range and much lower RM240 annual road tax.
Pick the MG 4 XPOWER if 429 hp, 600 Nm and all-wheel drive matter more than an extra 135 km of range.
