Verdict
For RM888 less, the BYD Seal 6 brings a 460-litre boot, 2,820-mm wheelbase, dual-zone climate control and a six-year/150,000-km vehicle warranty. It is the more family-minded sedan, but its 129-hp motor needs 10.9 seconds to reach 100 km/h. The MG 4 is far quicker at 7.7 seconds with 200 hp, and its 64-kWh battery delivers 435 km versus 410 km. Its 150-kW DC charging and 11-kW AC charging also better suit frequent longer trips, although annual road tax is RM160 against RM70.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you want the lower RM100,000 entry price, a 460-litre boot and more rear-seat climate and charging provision.
Pick the MG 4 if you want 200 hp, a 7.7-second 0-100 km/h time and faster 11-kW AC/150-kW DC charging.
