Waqas Afzal22 Min Read
The GAC Aion UT and MG4 EV Urban are two of Australia's most interesting affordable electric hatchbacks, with entry pricing around the low-$30,000 mark. The Aion UT Premium stands out with a large 60 kWh LFP battery, a 430 km WLTP range and a 150 kW motor for $31,990 before on-road costs, while the MG4 EV Urban counters with a larger boot, a current five-star ANCAP rating and a more established Australian sales and servicing network. The comparison becomes particularly close when the Aion UT Premium is placed against the MG4 EV Urban Essence 54. The MG offers 405 km WLTP range, only 25 km behind the GAC, while retaining 382 L of boot space and a stronger claimed DC charging capability. For buyers chasing maximum battery and range for their money, the Aion UT has a compelling specification, while the MG makes a strong case for families and buyers who place greater weight on safety evidence, luggage space and established local support.
