Based on the Modular Scalable Platform built ground-up specifically for battery electric vehicles, the MG4 EV has a wheelbase longer than typical cars in the segment, short overhangs and only a very short front bonnet. It is claimed to have a 50:50 weight distribution and a low centre of gravity of {{convert|490|mm|in|1|abbr=on}} for superior handling.

The MG4 EV has received praise from several UK automotive publications for its balance between affordability, performance, and features. Top Gear highlighted the car's value, stating it "has range, charging, and zippy dynamics" at a lower price compared to competitors like the VW ID.3. However, it noted that the seats could be uncomfortable for larger people, and the infotainment system stutters occasionally.{{Cite web |date=2023-09-14 |title=MG Motor UK MG4 review |url=https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/mg-motor-uk/mg4 |access-date=2024-09-16 |website=Top Gear}} Autocar commended its handling and ride quality but mentioned the cabin noise insulation could be better.{{Cite web |date=2023-04-14 |title=MG Motor 4 EV Review 2024, Price & Specs {{!}} Autocar |url=https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mg-motor/4-ev |access-date=2024-09-16 |website=Autocar |language=en}} The Auto Express review appreciated its affordability, with solid range and driving dynamics, but pointed out the lack of premium materials in the interior as a downside.{{Cite web |last1=Adams |first1=Max |last2=Hyde |first2=Ellis |date=2023-09-27 |title=MG4 EV review |url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/mg/mg4 |access-date=2024-09-16 |website=Auto Express |language=en}}
