This is a practical all-electric hatchback that’s fun to drive – and you can’t look past its competitive priceIrish Times best buy for 2023: The MG4 offers affordability and practical space at a very competitive price. Photograph: PAIn the end it came down to an MG and a Merc – two new EVs at either end of the motoring budget.
