Verdict

The RM28,000 step from the MG 4 Lux to the MG 4 EXTD Range buys a 77 kWh battery instead of 64 kWh, lifting claimed range from 435 km to 520 km, plus 242 hp and 350 Nm for a 6.1-second 0-100 km/h time. Both retain 150 kW DC charging, rear-wheel drive, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, 360-degree camera and the same active-safety suite. For most Malaysian buyers, the Lux delivers the same equipment for less; choose the EXTD Range only if its extra 85 km and stronger performance will be used regularly.

Lux

Pick the MG 4 Lux if you want the same key equipment and safety kit while keeping RM28,000 in your pocket.

EXTD Range

Pick the MG 4 EXTD Range if 520 km claimed range and its 242 hp, 350 Nm motor justify the extra outlay.
