Recently, some MG dealer sales consultants are promoting the MG4 model, and at the same time, revealed that this electric car model may return to Vietnam by the end of 2023.

However, the fanpage of MG Vietnam also somewhat hinted the appearance of this model in the country when asking the question “Are you looking forward to the official appearance of the MG4 EV in the Vietnamese market?”.
Regarding the charging station, the MG sales consultant also shared that if the MG4 is open for sale, the company will also sell an attached charger to plug it in at home. This method is quite similar to Mercedes-Benz and Porsche in Vietnam.
