The MG 4 electric hatch has experienced a price decrease in most Australian states and territories compared to the BYD Dolphin, which was previously the most affordable electric vehicle in the country, excluding any special offers for the GWM Ora 5. The starting price for the base model MG 4 is now AUD 39,990, representing a savings of AUD 2000 compared to its previous RRP before on-road costs. This is the fifth price adjustment for the ZS EV since the beginning of 2023, with three reductions observed since mid-2023 due to falling sales as competition increases. Relative to its price 12 months ago, the ZS EV is now priced between AUD 6205 and AUD 14,377 cheaper.

A 35% sales decline in the three months leading up to September 2023 could have influenced MG’s decision to adjust the ZS EV’s price multiple times to stimulate sales and maintain market share.
