Not really an issue with the ground clearance if your just gonna drive it in the city. I drove one even on the steepest of humps like around BGC with through them with ease.
Time to experiment! Trip to baguio with an EV. 1. EV should be at full charge. Start in manila 2. No stops for charging along the way. 3. Can charge at sm baguio to go back to manila
Great review! I like the updated steering wheel no more 3rd stalk for the cruise control that you always bump when entering the car 🤣. Owned an mg5 for 2 years now and is happy our purchase. Hope to upgrade to another mg model.
Regardless of the brand , if its an EV with a low ground clearance, be mindful of road obstacles that you drive over that might potentially hit the floor area of your EV. Because, if the force of such an impact is strong enough to deform and potentially damage the floor which is most probably the case that holds the Lithium Ion battery, that could mean the end of your EV or the end of your wallet.

Only issues now is the tech on the batteries (longer range, replacement sustainability) and charging infrastructures especially outside major cities. Until then, PH will rely on ICE vehicles.
I hope aurodeal makes a review in a long drive how many hours when charging if you run out of juice and your in the middle of nowhere where to charge. More in-depth review...
I love watching your videos even when I'm not really interested in the vehicle you are featuring. 1 thing though, may I suggest replacing the balikbayan boxes with standard 26" luggages to demonstrate the trunk space as I'm pretty sure most of us can better relate to that.😊
Not only that the charging time? Long drive and you runout of juice where to charge is there any charging infrastructure thats the biggest ? Mark...hope they review more in depth pros and cons really be more realistic.
Philippines need to fix their transit options first and crazy electricity prices (in proportion to average income) before riding on the “EV-is-the-future” trend.
My downside though,.Lalong lalo na dito sa model na ito It really lacks,.The two most important And that's the back up camera,.AS well as the parking senors Since both,. Would also be really helpful to you too #Specialy when reversing
Does this low end variant has the dreaded lane assist feature that takes over control from the driver? Such a feature is dangerous. The human driver must have full control of the vehicle and not the other way around.
while in america most buyers are abandoning their desire to acquire ev cars, we on the other hand are bombarded with hype of the benefits of ev cars. how long will it keep up hype
It’s because EVs are actually more suited to the Philippines than the US. Range anxiety shouldn’t really be a big factor here if you’re just commuting within Metro Manila. What we have in the Philippines is an endless amount of traffic jams and which is where an EV would shine. Imagine my commute to Makati (around 40 km back and forth) an EV with 200km range can last me a week.
We have problem on our grid a lot of brownouts. EV will cause more brownouts. Also, how many charging station we have here? If sa bahay wall socket it takes ages to charge. Long trip, you have to plan ur trip bka walng charging station. I would ask car reviewers to compare EV to ICE and hybrid vehicles and see the cost. Its true that its zero emission but our grid is not 100 renewsable we still use coal.

Been driving it for almost 3 weeks now. Trust me, you’ll love the drive, the free charging and dedicated parking in malls. And ICE vehicles feels so sluggish now when i use our ford vehicles. If you can dish out a little bit more money i think the lux versions is worth it. The camera, light bar, spoiler definitely gives it a more unique look and functionality. Driving an orange lux btw. The only thing i dont like about it is that the App is not yet available and its not wireless carplay/android auto. Not major dealbreakers
Two words. "Thermal Runaway" spontaneous fire that is incredibly hot and impossible to extinguish. Will destroy anything near the car and anybody in it. Chinese at its best

There were quite a lot of positive adjectives thrown around for the reviewed MG4 in this video but let me ask, "What is the resale value of this car after 5 years? Would anyone be interested in buying a secondhand EV?"
would you know exactly the flooded areas now? I mean the exact spot of flooded area. would you know exactly what time it will rain? (aside from forecast app) would you know exactly what amount of rain it will fall, and left wondering "will it flood or not?"
@@techiyuri9356 I don't understand. Just dont go if you see flood that the car cannot take. Whether its EV or ICE, you wont risk your car to go through there, right? Are you saying if its ICE, you think its a submarine then? Ask the wading depth if u want to go through floods all the time. You know how stupid your logic is? You're like asking for an armor that is impenetrable because you want to go Israel. When really the solution is don't go there because there is war. Yet you say, "but is it bullet proof?"
Iba ang Driver license ng Electric Vehicles sa Traditional Driver License need mo ulit mag Exam. Pag nahuli mahal ang multa. Impound pa wheels mo. Category B ang Traditional Petrol Vehicles ang Electric Vehicles kailangan Category M and N.
1 burning question I have with EV's in general that all reviewers here in the PH is not covering is when the battery dies on this models 7-10 yrs down the line, how epxensive is it to replace? specially for our family who owns cars 10-12 yrs at a time before upgrading to a newer model and I guess for 2nd hand car buyers in the future of this model should also consider.
No reverse camera, that is so stupid, its maybe hard to find an aftermarket reverse cam, maybe dealer installed sets u back 60 to 80k, that is an essential in today's car, ditch this go for the BYD
Why can't EVs just look like any standard car? I know there are EV variants of some popular ICE cars that look the same, but 95% of all of them just look weird.
Wow, using a fast charger costs about the same as filling up an IC vehicle? The Philippines really wants to make life harder for everyone huh? Charging up EVs should be cheaper than filling up ICE vehicles (for the same distance), regardless of the type of charger used. Our country really needs to hit the reset button
My issue ang MG sa sirang A/C, pinabalikbalik yung may ari, upto 4 years na hindi parin naayos. Pinaasa at pinaikot at pinagastos lng ng todo yung owner. Mabuti pa iwasan nlng ang MG.
CASA-specific, unfair kung sasabihin mong iwasan ang brand ng dahil lang sa kasalanan ng ilang CASA while the many dealerships are working hard for their aftersales service.
The 8-year battery warranty doesn't mean the car will stop working after 8 years. For an EV, that's 8 years of no change oils, no expenses for filters, no spark plug replacements.
@@sibutotheworld the ev should be useable for more than 12 years at the least to recover the cost if the buyers purpose is to save money from it. And what if the battery broke down after the warranty? Wish it’s not but it may and imagine the headache when that happens, a battery for hybrids is already around 300k! what more if it’s full electric?
@@scalemodeltutor9841 If you're able to make it last for 10 years, then the car is fully depreciated, hence zero book value. An odo of 150,000 miles or 240,000 kms is more than enough. With that mileage, the value of your vehicle is close to zero. And besides, these days, no owner wants to drive the same car for more than 5 years. I myself, ditched my 4-yr old car with 18K odo and bought a new one. And in reply to comment, an EV battery will not die instantly, unless it has been physically damaged. It may not give you a 100% charge after 12 years but even at 50%, it will still give you the distance you need. You just have to take care of it. Like, avoiding fast chargers. You can always charge it at home every night. Slowly but surely.
Why would anyone buy an EV, IF you need the battery replacement it will cost you almost the same as buying a new car. You can check out other issues on this.
@@StarsStripes-vh7kw ICE car owners being butthurt because they can get easily smoked by EVs in city roads and highways. EV batteries don't give out that easily you funchums. Learn how to use google about the lifecycles of EV batteries.
@@josephnova7864you might have not heard about MG5 Core MT. The cheapest in MG cars line up with steering wheel controls, 8" infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, reverse cam and sensors, LED tail lights and DRLs compared to its competitors with basic features. Now, who loves to cut basic features? Lol
Home charging is too slow, plus the constant plug-in hassle and kid-related worries. Our infrastructure isn't ready for full EV, and the missing small features are as crucial as the basics in today's cars. Honestly, not sold on this car. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Philippines is not EV ready. Ang mahal ng kuryente. Minsan brown out pa. Saan mo isasaksak yan? Majority ng charging stations nasa mall. Not all the time nasa mall ka. Kung aberya ka sa daan, you can’t call a regular mechanic . You have to call the manufacturer to provide service at your location . Eh Kung nasa liblib ka na lugar? Pano na?
You clearly don't belong to one of the target markets for EVs then. If you have the money to buy an MG4, then you probably have money to buy a solar setup at home, or you know, pay for electricity. Besides, EV charging at the malls is free ;)
Not for me! The batteries are EXPENSIVE! No insurance company will insure the car without hurting your wallet. EVs are MONEY PIT⚠️🚩 Be careful what you wish for.
6th. The problem with EVs is that affordable doesn't mean reliable and gives you a lot more worries than the typical range anxiety. Most notably, lighting up on fire 🔥🔥, so make sure to bring a fire extinguisher with you at all times.
As an MX and M3 owner, oh I know it. They rarely happen, but one just can't stop worrying about those battery fires. I just hope that I can remove my toddler before it goes up in flames.
As long as the manufacturer knows what type of plastics and parts to use sa battery no worries of having things on fire. We have so called UL Standards that are being reviewed carefully for these kinds of scenarios.
You do know that ICE cars already use something called fuel that it literally burns right? Chances of a fire after an accident are actually significantly higher in a ICE car versus an EV.
I would not be buying an EV anytime soon. You only have to scrape the battery tray and your insurance company will most likely write it off, because no reputable repairer will not want to replace the entire battery pack, costing hundreds of thousands of Philippine pesos. Also, google EV fires, EV battery replacement or even Hybrid battery replacement.
I've been driving this car for two months now. I would say that I really love it.

It's torque is 250Nm just like the Lux variant which has more power but also a bigger and heavier battery meaning its not actually faster.

@@techiyuri9356 I don't understand. Just dont go if you see flood that the car cannot take. Whether its EV or ICE, you wont risk your car to go through there, right? Are you saying if its ICE, you think its a submarine then? Ask the wading depth if u want to go through floods all the time.
You know how stupid your logic is? You're like asking for an armor that is impenetrable because you want to go Israel. When really the solution is don't go there because there is war. Yet you say, "but is it bullet proof?"
Iba ang Driver license ng Electric Vehicles sa Traditional Driver License need mo ulit mag Exam. Pag nahuli mahal ang multa. Impound pa wheels mo. Category B ang Traditional Petrol Vehicles ang Electric Vehicles kailangan Category M and N.
I appreciate very much EV vlog.
Save up some more and get the Atto 3
Prices are the same
agree :) byd auto 3 is better than mg
@@bastibastikikan2238it can't be better if it can't beat supercars in drag races 🤣
@@WheelHeadd its not all about race :) its more on you can get from point a to point b
Atto 3 looks boring. The handling sucks too. MG4 is more zippy and can easily handle sharp corners
What's a rear foglamp doing in the middle of the front clip????????????????????? and it has steelies?!?!?!?!?!?
Bat may transmission tunnel pa yan?
1 burning question I have with EV's in general that all reviewers here in the PH is not covering is when the battery dies on this models 7-10 yrs down the line, how epxensive is it to replace? specially for our family who owns cars 10-12 yrs at a time before upgrading to a newer model and I guess for 2nd hand car buyers in the future of this model should also consider.
Who told you that EV batteries only last 7-10 years?
The silhouette reminds me of the 4th gen Prius Prime and it's not a good thing.
I'm curious on what's under the hood 😅
Does MG develop its own battery?
Nope.
Ok to pero magkano kaya abutin ng battery module nito kapag papalitin na
Love this car! ❤
The design is more Chinese, British signature design is more traditional
Then you forgot to say how big is the battery, how many kWh? the range is 315km virtually
How bout BYD?
fun fact: MG is owned by SAIC (Shanghai Auto Industry Corp)
Fun fact, you use Shopee and Lazada to buy cheap stuff from China.
Ano po yung "watnat" ?
whatnot: used to refer to an item or items that are not identified but are felt to have something in common with items already named

No reverse camera, that is so stupid, its maybe hard to find an aftermarket reverse cam, maybe dealer installed sets u back 60 to 80k, that is an essential in today's car, ditch this go for the BYD
Reverse camera is on the high end variant priced at 1.7 Million 😊
@KuchingKingVideoGamer but why, even a 600 k Wigo has a reverse camera, why leave the basic safety tool.
"When you finally graduate from high school and decide to drive the car like a normal human being" lmao I died!
Whats under the hood? 😊
Didn't expect a Carwow shout out on this video 🤣.
Looks like a mix of lexus upfront and a toyota prius at the back
Define electronic steering? Steer by wire? Ty
Starts @ 1,468,888. And tops at...?
2M+ for the XPower variant.
Probably not for a long time. We rode the Chinese car buying band wagon and regretted it. Went back to Japan made.
DNGA Yaris Cross isn't made in Japan as its a made in Indonesia vehicle 😂😂😂
Just curious, what car?
Caco's 'sneeze test' is going to be a regular thing on his EV reviews 😂
Much like the visor test on The Straight Pipes channel😂
@@derekfernandez1437 and the tonneau test by carwow
Why can't EVs just look like any standard car? I know there are EV variants of some popular ICE cars that look the same, but 95% of all of them just look weird.
Cuz normal cars look dull and boring having a unique design is a selling point if you don't like it you got a problem
yes that's the point. An affordable EV. compare to tesla.
Wow, using a fast charger costs about the same as filling up an IC vehicle? The Philippines really wants to make life harder for everyone huh? Charging up EVs should be cheaper than filling up ICE vehicles (for the same distance), regardless of the type of charger used. Our country really needs to hit the reset button
nissan kicks or this? 🤔🤔🤔
MG4
Kicks are discontinued as well, read it somewhere.
@@plutostreetclothing3785 the kicks e-power has been discontinued? 🤔
My issue ang MG sa sirang A/C, pinabalikbalik yung may ari, upto 4 years na hindi parin naayos. Pinaasa at pinaikot at pinagastos lng ng todo yung owner. Mabuti pa iwasan nlng ang MG.
CASA-specific, unfair kung sasabihin mong iwasan ang brand ng dahil lang sa kasalanan ng ilang CASA while the many dealerships are working hard for their aftersales service.
Considering the cost of replacement batteries, these are literally disposable cars after 8 years onwards.
The 8-year battery warranty doesn't mean the car will stop working after 8 years. For an EV, that's 8 years of no change oils, no expenses for filters, no spark plug replacements.
@@sibutotheworld the ev should be useable for more than 12 years at the least to recover the cost if the buyers purpose is to save money from it. And what if the battery broke down after the warranty? Wish it’s not but it may and imagine the headache when that happens, a battery for hybrids is already around 300k! what more if it’s full electric?
@@scalemodeltutor9841 If you're able to make it last for 10 years, then the car is fully depreciated, hence zero book value. An odo of 150,000 miles or 240,000 kms is more than enough. With that mileage, the value of your vehicle is close to zero. And besides, these days, no owner wants to drive the same car for more than 5 years. I myself, ditched my 4-yr old car with 18K odo and bought a new one.
And in reply to comment, an EV battery will not die instantly, unless it has been physically damaged.
It may not give you a 100% charge after 12 years but even at 50%, it will still give you the distance you need. You just have to take care of it. Like, avoiding fast chargers. You can always charge it at home every night. Slowly but surely.
Support for EV batteries has been getting better, but it is still less convenient than ICE because it is still a niche market. Hopefully someday.
If you can change the battery on it, it's not disposable.
In my opinion the electric cars are so expensive because no one will buy a used EV. 😂😅
Yup. In the US and other countries...
Why would anyone buy an EV, IF you need the battery replacement it will cost you almost the same as buying a new car. You can check out other issues on this.
EVs don't break down easily compared to your GR86 with various engine and mechanical problems 😂😂
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer Consumer Reports says otherwise.
@@StarsStripes-vh7kw ICE car owners being butthurt because they can get easily smoked by EVs in city roads and highways. EV batteries don't give out that easily you funchums. Learn how to use google about the lifecycles of EV batteries.
by that comment malamang taasan ang presyo … 😅
They failed NCAP right?
Wow, that's not good at all 😢
One car did, the MG5/GT
it's the MG 5/GT
This MG 4EV got 5 Star both Euro NCAP & ANCAP
So it passed the safety rating, but just this past September, in AU, 3 MG EVs were on fire while charging. 😢
MG4 scored 5 stars at Euro NCAP...There's a UA-cam video of it
To say the motor is running while the car is stationary is nonsensical and displays a complete ignorance of things automotive
MG being MG who loves to cut some basic features on their basic models LOL.
This is the base variant..The fully loaded version is priced at 1.7 Million Pesos
@@KuchingKingVideoGamer yeah i watch the video. As i said and mentioned by the video mg cuts some of the basic features an entry does have.
@@josephnova7864you might have not heard about MG5 Core MT. The cheapest in MG cars line up with steering wheel controls, 8" infotainment with Apple Carplay and Android Auto, reverse cam and sensors, LED tail lights and DRLs compared to its competitors with basic features. Now, who loves to cut basic features? Lol
Home charging is too slow, plus the constant plug-in hassle and kid-related worries. Our infrastructure isn't ready for full EV, and the missing small features are as crucial as the basics in today's cars. Honestly, not sold on this car. 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻
Philippines is not EV ready. Ang mahal ng kuryente. Minsan brown out pa. Saan mo isasaksak yan? Majority ng charging stations nasa mall. Not all the time nasa mall ka. Kung aberya ka sa daan, you can’t call a regular mechanic . You have to call the manufacturer to provide service at your location . Eh Kung nasa liblib ka na lugar? Pano na?
You clearly don't belong to one of the target markets for EVs then. If you have the money to buy an MG4, then you probably have money to buy a solar setup at home, or you know, pay for electricity. Besides, EV charging at the malls is free ;)
I think BYD is better
Not for me! The batteries are EXPENSIVE! No insurance company will insure the car without hurting your wallet. EVs are MONEY PIT⚠️🚩
Be careful what you wish for.
6th. The problem with EVs is that affordable doesn't mean reliable and gives you a lot more worries than the typical range anxiety. Most notably, lighting up on fire 🔥🔥, so make sure to bring a fire extinguisher with you at all times.
EV is the future of automobiles. lets just admit it, fuel engines automobiles will be a thing from the past.
As an MX and M3 owner, oh I know it. They rarely happen, but one just can't stop worrying about those battery fires. I just hope that I can remove my toddler before it goes up in flames.
Make sure it's the right type of fire extinguisher too 🤣
As long as the manufacturer knows what type of plastics and parts to use sa battery no worries of having things on fire. We have so called UL Standards that are being reviewed carefully for these kinds of scenarios.
You do know that ICE cars already use something called fuel that it literally burns right? Chances of a fire after an accident are actually significantly higher in a ICE car versus an EV.
Second
FIRST HAHA
congrats
I would not be buying an EV anytime soon. You only have to scrape the battery tray and your insurance company will most likely write it off, because no reputable repairer will not want to replace the entire battery pack, costing hundreds of thousands of Philippine pesos.
Also, google EV fires, EV battery replacement or even Hybrid battery replacement.

MG NOW MADE IN CHINA NOT UK...
They also have factories in India, Thailand, Taiwan, Indonesia, etc.
