MG Motor Australia has announced a limited-edition MG4 EV Urban today. The MG4 EV Urban Special Edition is limited to 750 units in Australia and costs $33,990 drive-away including a $2,000 cashback.
The MG Special Edition changes the look of the hatchback with a black roof, black mirrors and ambient lighting in the door panels. It is available now through MG dealerships nationwide and sits just $1,000 above the standard Essence 54, according to MG.
What changes on the MG4 EV Urban Special Edition
MG says the Special Edition gets a sportier exterior and a more ambient cabin. MG lists three changes:
- Black-painted roof: a contrasting roof finish that sets it apart from the standard car.
- Black exterior mirrors: the mirrors match the black roof.
- Ambient door-panel lighting: lighting is built into the door panels to lift the cabin atmosphere.
The Special Edition also introduces a new Ice Blue metallic paint. It joins the existing Diamond Red, so buyers get a two-colour range that MG describes as exclusive to this model.

Why MG is adding a Special Edition now
MG points to a fast-growing EV market. Battery electric vehicles made up 23.1 per cent of new vehicle sales in October, almost three times their 7.3 per cent share a year earlier. Zecar's EV sales data tracks the monthly split.
The MG4 EV Urban debuted globally in September 2025 and has passed 200,000 sales worldwide, MG said. In Australia, the company reports demand building since the model was introduced earlier this year.
MG shared September figures for the Australian market. Enquiries rose 131 per cent month on month, test drives climbed 52 per cent and orders increased 89.7 per cent.
MG also said the MG4 EV Urban ranked second in the small cars under $45,000 category in October. That makes it one of the more affordable EVs on sale.
Dimitri Andreatidis, Marketing Director at MG Motor Australia, said the MG4 EV Urban is "already a great car". He said the team added a few distinctive touches to make it more appealing, and that the company is excited to see customers get behind the 750-unit run.
