The latest batch of Chinese regulatory filings has revealed the MG4 semi-solid-state Anxin Edition, a variant equipped with a manganese-based lithium-ion battery. The exterior design remains unchanged from other versions of the MG4, while the powertrain continues to use a single motor with a maximum output of 120 kW.

The semi-solid-state Anxin Edition replaces the lithium iron phosphate battery found in some MG4 variants with a manganese-based lithium-ion battery. Despite the battery change, the power output and single-motor layout remain consistent with the existing pre-sale models.

Design elements mirror those of the current MG4, featuring new headlamp clusters and a segmented lower intake with honeycomb decoration. The model retains aerodynamic side air channels and offers an illuminated front badge. The side profile is characterised by a long wheelbase and short overhangs, intended to increase cabin space and handling capability. At the rear, a full-width taillight design with arrow-shaped elements continues from previous versions.

The MG4 measures 4,395 mm in length, 1,842 mm in width, and 1,551 mm in height, with a 2,750 mm wheelbase. Depending on the trim, the model will be available with 16-inch or 17-inch wheels.

The interior design, based on the pre-sale model, includes a two-spoke steering wheel, a small digital instrument display, and a column-mounted gear selector. A floating central touchscreen is positioned above the centre console.

The semi-solid-state Anxin Edition will use a single-motor system producing up to 120 kW. Technical specifications for the manganese-based lithium-ion battery, including capacity and range, have not yet been disclosed.

As reported, pricing for MG4 models equipped with semi-solid-state batteries is expected to be announced in September, with deliveries planned before the end of the year. For reference, the latest MG4 is already available for pre-order in China in four trims, with pre-sale prices ranging from 73,800 yuan to 105,800 yuan (approx. 10,100 to 14,400 USD).
