MG4 EV vs Tesla Model 3 (2019-2023)

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 181 miles for the MG MG4 EV and 312 miles for the Tesla Model 3 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Tesla Model 3 goes roughly 130 miles further between charging stops.

The two are within 14 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 564 mm of total clearance for the MG MG4 EV and about 550 mm of total clearance for the Tesla Model 3. The MG MG4 EV also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 90% battery health for the MG MG4 EV and 85% for the Tesla Model 3. That gives the MG MG4 EV a modest edge in retained real-world range. The MG MG4 EV's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the Tesla Model 3's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
