These cars are the perfect size for most families. They're big and practical enough to house a lot of stuff, but small enough that cities are still easy to navigate. There’s room for a decent-size battery pack, but because these cars are still fairly compact, they’re relatively light and aerodynamic, and therefore efficient, so you can expect 200 miles of range from most of the options on this list.
The MG 4 range offers you the power of choice, too. The entry-level version starts at just £26,995 yet still boasts an official range of 218 miles. We’d go for the mid-spec Long Range, which manages 281 miles of range on the WLTP cycle thanks to a 64kWh battery and a 201bhp motor.Other highlights? Well, while the detailing is fussy, there's no doubt the shark-nosed 4 looks distinctive, while its interior is neatly styled and far more upmarket than you would expect.
Inside, there’s a touch more space for people and luggage, while the dashboard is more slickly styled and there's a larger and more intuitive touchscreen infotainment system with all the connectivity you will ever need.Under the skin there’s the same 64.8kWh battery as before, which gives an ever so slightly longer range of 285 miles.
There’s lots here appeal if you want a spacious, rangy and refined family EV, and buyers of the old car are likely to be forming an orderly queue outside Kia dealers. However, bear in mind that in top-level 4-trim guise, the Niro EV costs barely any less than the brand’s faster, sleeker and longer-range EV6.realised after about two decades that making tiny city cars was likely never going to be profitable, so it set up a joint venture with Geely and it’s pretty similar to drive too.
