The independent awards ceremony is designed specifically for the UK car-buying public, judged by a panel of experts that includes some of the most respected names in motoring journalism. Paul Hudson, motoring editor at The Telegraph, said of the MG4, “No other EV comes close to offering so much for relatively little outlay. It looks good inside and out, drives way better than you might imagine and the range is more than competitive. Whether you’re new to EVs or not, you won’t be disappointed.”
