Fast but futile? 2024 MG4 XPower review
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 кві 2024
- The MG4 XPower is an electric family hatchback that can hit 62mph in 3.8 seconds. Which is great, but what's it actually like to live with as a family car? What's it good at? What does it suck at? Find out all this and more in my full review of the MG4, including a look at charging speeds, practicality, real-world range and more!

Ja jipt jipt pfftt...are the perfect noises for 0-60 in this car 👍
Best thing about it is that it’s a sleeper.
No one is getting the performance out of this car on Britain’s roads let’s face it so folk saying it’s not a fast car around bends etc is talking drivel.
Song lyric references in each review is the future. Your challenge for the next review is lyrics from Living in a box.
And love the a45 comment. Spot on sir.
I do enjoy your reviews. I would love to try the X-power. As you say the big battery RWD is the pick of the range.
Yay the jacket is back! Parked next to one in the Matt green the other day and have to say it looks very nice indeed, but it does look exactly the same inside as a friends who’s got the lowest spec model. On my shortlist for next company car, but the long range makes so much more sense.
Head or heart? That’s the question.

He’s funny but low-key
We’ve both got girth
But he’s rammed with mirth
Getting that tattooed. On my face
The annotation for the rear headlights is a perfect example of why I'll watch you review anything 😂
Because I consistently f*ck up!
Top marks for Meatloaf references. When the MG rubber meets the road.
I test drove this thinking of a performance hatchback ! To be honest the best thing about it was the acceleration from zero to 60 otherwise I couldn't wait to return to the dealership, very ordinary to drive, I'll keep my cp gr yaris for acouple more years ❤
You're the only person in the entire world that rates this interior. seriously.
I'm not sure that's entirely accurate… better than a BMW one though isn't it 👹

Another great review from Tim!
Very good review Tim but there ain’t no way I’m ever going to love it….
Sounds like a swing and a miss. Am curious on though the hyundai ionic5 N looks like it would be fun (have never driven an EV before).
I don't really like how the MG4 cockpit area looks. It looks like somebody just had various bits to scatter around the driver and stuck them wherever he could find space. The front display just looks like somebody took an angle grinder to the edge of a table to cut out a slot and then stuck some cheap 3rd party display panel there at the last minute.
The back end of the car doesnt look like it belongs with the front., like 2 different cars
"Bat Out of Hell ?" Perhaps a Chinese lady escaping Hong Kong whilst she can ? Don't know the Cantonese for that Tim :)
Hahaha thanks for trying though
👍
I have a neighbour with one of these, and another with a real MG from 1973. I imagine they roll their eyes at each other in a very British way 😂
Cheers for the Meat Loaf references. Fudge knows when I’ll get THAT song out of my head 😂
Oh dear. I must be a simpleton as I love my smart #1 Brabus due to its acceleration and I like the way it drives.
Don't think I will get board of the speed well maybe, but only to get something faster😂
Yes its more expensive than the x power but love the smart interior much better than the MG.
Haha, it was a bit of a joke! I need to try the Smart though, I hear good things...

My dad has the long range single motor and it's a decent car. But fun it is not. Adding straight line performance to a boring drivetrain doesn't make them fun, it's just more willy waving
Yup! It'll be interesting to see if they sell any of these
As an American, the only MGs im familar with are the 60s and 70s MGBs and Midgets. This is... slightly dissapointing in comparison
Different company these days as I'm sure you are aware. In China it's called the Mulan. In the UK MG is seen as a budget brand with keen pricing ( for the most part ) and reasonable styling. Most seen are the various SUV's and the soon to be replaced MG3 hatchback ( which is now a hybrid alongside a lower priced manual petrol )
Sorry Tim, tried to engage with the review of this MG appliance but, after about 5 or 6 minutes simply had to end with this message. Just can not get enthused by EV’s. They simply don’t stir the emotions or elicit any desires for owning one. And having owned a string of Alfas over the decades , I’m terrified by the thought of having to concede……of course that will never happen, even an electric Alfa wouldn’t get me to part with the folding.
They’re (EVs) are simply inconvenient as an only car. And the insurance…..did I mention that?
The bottom hole in the steering wheel looks like a bum
I think we can be friends 😂
2.7kwh. that's awful. Its probably that bad because it can't decouple the front motor.
