BYD Seal 6 vs MG 4
Verdict
At RM100,000 for the BYD Seal 6 and RM100,888 for the MG 4, this is not really a price fight. The choice is packaging against pace. The Seal 6 is the bigger car, with a 4,720 mm sedan body, 2,820 mm wheelbase and 460-litre boot, plus a longer six-year warranty. The MG 4 is much quicker, with 200 hp and 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds, and it also gets a larger 64.0 kWh battery for 435 km of range. Family use points to BYD; driving response points to MG.
Pick the BYD Seal 6 if you want the bigger rear-wheel-drive EV, a larger boot and the longer warranty for almost the same money.
Pick the MG 4 if you want the quicker rear-wheel-drive EV, with more power, more battery capacity and slightly more range.
