2026 MG4 Interior Update Revealed: What It Means for Australian EV Buyers

MG has revealed a significantly updated interior for the MG4 electric hatch, addressing one of the most talked-about areas of the popular small EV. While the exterior design remains unchanged, the cabin has been comprehensively redesigned to deliver a more refined, modern, and inviting driving experience.

For customers following the MG electric range at Tynan MG Sutherland, this update signals exciting developments ahead for one of Australia’s most recognisable electric hatchbacks.

A Fresh Interior Direction for the MG4

The updated interior has been unveiled initially in Brazil, where the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive MG4 has received a cabin design closely aligned with the mechanically related MG S5 EV small electric SUV.

Although Australian timing has not yet been confirmed by MG Motor Australia, the reveal gives a clear indication of where the MG4 is heading in terms of interior design and technology.

From the outside, the MG4 retains its bold, angular styling, with no changes reported to bodywork or wheel designs. Instead, MG has focused on enhancing the cabin – a welcome move for EV buyers prioritising comfort and usability.

What’s New Inside the 2026 MG4?

The most noticeable changes are found inside the cabin, where the MG4 adopts a cleaner, more sophisticated layout.

Key interior updates include:

• Removal of the high-mounted interior ‘shelf’ design
• Relocated rotary gear selector to the centre console
• Integrated wireless smartphone charging area
• Larger digital displays for improved visibility and ease of use

The new layout feels more driver-focused and intuitive, closely reflecting the direction of newer MG electric vehicles.

Bigger Screens and Improved Controls

Technology has also taken a step forward in the updated MG4 interior.

The previous screen setup has been replaced with:

• 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
• 12.8-inch central infotainment touchscreen

Below the touchscreen sits a newly designed row of physical switchgear, including rotary-style controls that appear to manage functions such as fan speed and audio volume – a practical update many drivers will appreciate.

MG has also shown both black and lighter tan interior colour options in overseas markets. While Australian specifications are yet to be confirmed, this redesign suggests a more premium feel across the MG4 range.

How This Fits Into the Australian MG Line-Up

MG has confirmed that a new front-wheel drive MG4 is due to arrive in Australia in the second quarter of 2026. Rather than replacing the existing MG4 sold locally, this new model will slot in below it as an entry-level electric hatch.

Under this strategy:

• The new front-wheel drive MG4 will offer smaller battery options
• The existing MG4 in Australia will move to a 64kWh battery-only offering
• Higher-performance variants, including MG4 XPower, will continue to deliver strong performance credentials

This approach may allow MG to strengthen its position in the competitive small EV segment – something customers at Tynan MG Sutherland will be watching closely.

MG4 Performance Overview

In its current Australian specification, the MG4 delivers:

• 150kW of power in rear-wheel drive form
• MG4 XPower with dual motors, producing 320kW and 600Nm
• Engaging handling thanks to its rear- or all-wheel drive layout

Overseas markets have not reported any increases in power or torque with the interior update, meaning the focus remains firmly on refinement, comfort, and usability.

Why the MG4 Still Matters in the EV Segment

The MG4 continues to play a key role in MG’s Australian electric vehicle strategy. Its blend of performance, practicality, and EV accessibility has made it a familiar sight on local roads.

With a refreshed interior design and an expanding MG electric range, interest in MG EVs remains strong – particularly for buyers exploring electric mobility at Tynan MG Sutherland.
