Verdict
At RM100,888, the MG 4 Lux is the sensible Malaysian buy if 435 km of stated range covers your routine. The RM28,000 gap to the MG 4 EXTD Range buys a 77-kWh battery rather than 64 kWh, lifting range 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 and the same active-safety and infotainment kit. Choose the EXTD Range only if those extra 85 km and stronger overtaking response will be used often.
Pick the MG 4 Lux if you want the same core equipment and charging hardware for RM28,000 less, and 435 km of range is sufficient.
Pick the MG 4 EXTD Range if you regularly need its 520 km range or want 242 hp, 350 Nm and a 6.1-second 0-100 km/h sprint.
