What Wheels Car of the Year has to say.
Here is a vehicle that offers performance, practicality and peace of mind – thanks to a 10-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty – but also changes the value equation and makes buying an EV a viable option for so many people by coming to market from just $37,990.
The MG4 Essence 64 model we drove ($49,150 drive-away) is a five-door, five-seat family hatch that makes plenty of EVs in the $60,000 to $70,000 price range look like terrible value, while also offering something to the purist with its single-motor, rear-wheel drive powertrain offering 150kW/250Nm and a 0-100km/h time of 7.2sec.
Price/as tested: $44,990/$49,150 (driveaway)
Drive: 1 x electric motor, 64kWh lithium-ion battery
Power: 150kW

Australia's car of the year is Hyundai's first ever EV performance vehicle, a five-seater with more power than a McLaren F1 and a five-star ANCAP rating.
The ninth-generation XV80 Camry is the latest evidence of a quarter of a century perfecting hybrid technology powertrain, with low-end EV-like performance that gets you effortlessly around town.
This seven-seat hybrid with six-speed automatic transmission meets daily driving demands with a thoughtful, innovative design approach.
With its specially modified 5.0-litre V8 engine and 350/550Nm on tap, the Special Edition Dark Horse is fast, loud and a remarkable driving experience.
With an 88.1kWh battery, 500km of claimed WLTP range and a feeling of rock-solid durability, this well-equipped AWD is also big on affordability, comfort and space.
