MG4 | The Best Value EV on the Market | 450km Range

Поділитися
Вставка
  • Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
  • This week on the DoneDeal UA-cam channel we're driving the new MG MG4. It's a fully electric hatchback, with two battery sizes and two specs - which makes picking the car you want very easy.
    It's also fantastically well priced with a starting price of €27,495 all the way into the mid €30,000s.
    Whilst the smaller battery (51kWh) has a decent 350km range, it's the 64kWh version we would recommend as it has a very impressive 450km range!
    To drive around town it's very easy to manoeuvre, and where there is any poor visibility, the MG4's onboard cameras pick up the slack - they're very good!
    Quality is always a worry when buying a car that's relatively 'new' to the market, however for the most part the MG4 is well put together using high quality materials.
    We really think the MG4 is the real deal and would highly recommend you heading to your local dealer if you're interested in getting a well priced family EV.

    Hi Dave - thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed the MG4. The steering wheel has two shortcut buttons one of which can be used for climate control which makes it really easy to access when driving 😀

    None available for 6 months. Its Feb. 2023. so July/Aug. So not really launched. Power connection is in the rear, yet no reversing camera on cheaper models? Or rear wiper. so good luck reversing into power stations. No built in sat nav, cheaper models, and no rear speakers for radio. Let me repeat no REAR SPEAKERS FOR RADIO. CHEAPER MODELS. So glaring omissions. BYD to launch later this year. The model trim reviewed is 8k more than base and prices has grant taken off.

      Do the Japanese give their cars Japanese names, no. Everyone including you know SAIC is a Chinese company which bought the brand name to do as it pleased so it would not have legal problem,s using the brand. Tata motors did the same with land rover. Now they design the cars and continue to keep the brand name alive because many older people will be familiar with those names.

    The back is terribly designed. The spoilers spoil the whole design + actually increase consumption. No rear wiper? Really? I live in a country with lots of snow and rain, dust - am I not supposed to see anything? What good is all the high tech without a basic safety feature like a wiper? Will they next time omit the front wipers too? To make it even more "futuristic"? Otherwise, it would have been a great car.

      China have yearly increase in wages which putt every western country to shame. So even after been looted and stripped by western colonialism they have had the fastest increase in living standards ever recorded in history. Now western countries are desperate trying to plunge the Chinese people back in to complete poverty to safeguard the evaporating western hegemony so the western populating are being indoctrinated in racist anti Chinese propaganda.
