Verdict

The MG 4 is RM8,912 cheaper at RM100,888, yet brings 200 hp, 250 Nm, a 64 kWh battery and 435 km of range. Its 150 kW DC and 11 kW AC charging rates are also far ahead of the Ora Good Cat’s 60 kW and 6.6 kW. The Good Cat counters with a longer 8-year/180,000-km battery warranty, 3.3 kW V2L and a much richer convenience tally, including a panoramic sunroof and powered boot. For most Malaysian buyers, the MG’s bigger 363-litre boot and 2,705 mm wheelbase settle it.
