has taken a unique place in *********** automotive history, becoming the first electric vehicle (EV) to outsell Tesla in a month – at least since the US brand started publishing local sales figures more than two and half years ago.

In October 2024, MG delivered 1486 examples of its small electric hatchback, almost doubling its previous monthly sales record of 835 deliveries set in November 2023, and more than tripling its monthly average of 419 deliveries between January and September.

This represents the first time Tesla has been beaten by another brand’s EV to a monthly sales win since it began reporting its figures to the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI) in March 2022, and latterly the Electric Vehicle Council (EVC).

The Seal sits third on 5621 deliveries, though the Model Y and Model 3 continue to dominate with 17,739 and 14,475 registrations, respectively.

It ******** to be seen whether the MG 4 can continue on its impressive sales trajectory, as it received price cuts of more than $10,000 to its base variant heading into October.
