Verdict
For a Malaysian buyer, the RM128,888 MG 4 EXTD Range is the smarter default: its 77 kWh battery delivers a claimed 520 km, 135 km more than the XPOWER’s 385 km, while annual road tax is RM240 rather than RM615. The RM138,888 MG 4 XPOWER justifies its RM10,000 premium only if pace matters more than distance, because its dual-motor AWD system produces 429 hp and 600 Nm for a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h sprint. Equipment is otherwise closely matched, including 150 kW DC charging and the same driver-assistance kit.
Pick the MG 4 EXTD Range if you want the 520 km claimed range, lower RM240 annual road tax and rear-wheel-drive simplicity.
Pick the MG 4 XPOWER if you want 429 hp, AWD traction and a 3.8-second 0-100 km/h time.
