MG Motor Australia has announced a new limited-edition version of its MG4 EV Urban electric hatchback, bringing a handful of styling enhancements and a new exterior colour. Limited to just 750 examples for Australia, the MG4 EV Urban Special Edition is priced at $33,990 driveaway, including a $2000 cashback offer, representing a $1000 premium over the regular Essence 54 variant.
The Special Edition is distinguishable by a contrasting black-painted roof and matching black exterior mirrors, while ambient lighting has been added to the interior door panels. A new ‘Ice Blue’ metallic exterior colour also joins the existing ‘Diamond Red’, with the two colours exclusively offered on the limited edition model.

Otherwise, the Special Edition carries over the equipment and mechanical specifications of the regular MG4 EV Urban Essence 54. That includes a 54kWh battery pack that provides up to 405km of driving range on the WLTP cycle, along with DC fast charging capable of replenishing the battery from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 30 minutes.
Other standard features include 17-inch alloy wheels, dusk-sensing automatic LED lighting, synthetic leather upholstery, an electric driver’s seat, heated front seats, a heating steering wheel, a 12.8-inch touchscreen with live services, wireless smartphone mirroring and a full suite of active safety features, including autonomous emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and a 360-degree camera.
According to MG, approximately 65 per cent of Australian MG4 EV Urban customers have opted for the higher-specification Essence 54 since the model’s local introduction in March 2026. It also claims demand for the electric hatchback is increasing, with enquiries rising 131 per cent month-on-month in September, alongside an 89.7 per cent increase in orders.
Globally, more than 200,000 examples of the MG4 EV Urban have been sold since its debut in September 2025.
The MG4 EV Urban Special Edition is available to order now through MG dealerships nationwide, with all examples covered by the brand’s 10-year warranty when serviced within its dealer network.
