Charging Speed
The MG MG4 has the higher published DC charging figure at 142 kW, which is roughly 41% higher than the Renault 4 E-Tech at 101 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.
For the published fast-charge window, the MG MG4 is listed at about 25 minutes, which is 6 minutes quicker than the Renault 4 E-Tech at 31 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.
Range and Efficiency
The MG MG4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 450 km, which is roughly 41 km more than the Renault 4 E-Tech at approximately 409 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.
Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Renault 4 E-Tech consumes 151 Wh/km, compared to 160 Wh/km for the MG MG4. That means the Renault 4 E-Tech uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.
A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The MG MG4 has approximately 61.7 kWh of useable battery , while the Renault 4 E-Tech has approximately 52 kWh.
Which One Should You Choose?
If fast charging is your priority, the MG MG4 has the higher published DC figure (up to 142 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 25 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.
Both cars support 6 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.
If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Renault 4 E-Tech is the more efficient choice at 151 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.
For maximum range between charges, the MG MG4 has a WLTP rated range of approximately 450 km, which is roughly 41 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.

From Finn, engineer: Charging specs alone do not tell the full story. Real-world charging speed depends on battery temperature, state of charge, and the charger itself. These comparisons use manufacturer-published data. Approximate values only.
