Overview
The Essence 64 adds V2L capability — the ability to power external devices from the battery — to the MG4’s core specification. At approximately $43,990, this is the least expensive EV in Australia with V2L and a seven-year unlimited warranty. For buyers who want the outdoor utility that V2L provides, the Essence 64 achieves it without requiring a move to the Korean brands’ typically higher price points.
Additional Essence specification over Excite: panoramic sunroof, heated front seats, 360-degree camera system, and a more complete driver assistance suite. The 64kWh battery, 450km WLTP, and 140kW DC charging are unchanged.
Key Specification
Battery: 64kWh. WLTP: 450km. DC: 140kW. V2L: Yes. Price: ~$43,990. Additions over Excite 64: panoramic roof, heated seats, V2L, 360-degree camera.
Verdict
The Essence 64 is the MG4 to buy for buyers who want V2L without paying Korean SUV prices. At $43,990 with a seven-year unlimited warranty and V2L, it undercuts every other V2L-equipped EV in the Australian market.
