The company is also offering factory bonuses of $8,000 on the 2023 (MY23) model year Essence 64, Long Range 77 and XPower models, although it advises customers to speak to their local MG dealer to confirm the total savings available.
MG is not only ending the offer of the MG 4 prematurely, but also says it has no plans to ever bring this price back.
“MG saw an incredible response to the MG 4 price offers in October,” said Giles Belcher, Chief Commercial Officer of MG Motor Australia.
This was a record month for the car, which became the best-selling EV in Australia in October with 1,486 sales – becoming the first model to dethrone one of Tesla’s models.
“Our dealers across the country were able to help Australians make the switch to electric driving with the MG4. These price offers expire at the end of the year and will never be repeated,” Mr Belcher said.
