*correction in the video, I shoood have said 150kw power equates to about 200bhp! (Not 150). My apologies.*
Here is my first look and initial impressions of the MG4 EV Long Range Trophy.
The MG4 range starts at £25,995 for the SE standard with a 51kwh battery.
The Long Range SE with 64kwh is £28,495
The top of the range Long Range SE 64kwh Trophy (as tested) is £31,495
So it’s looks to be great value! But is it cheap and cheerful or is it competing with the likes of VW iD.3 / Cupra Born / Nissan Leaf?
In this quick review I show you around the outside, the inside and describe my first impressions of what it’s like to drive.
In brief summary, I think it’s excellent! An affordable, good value electric car with a range capable of 300 miles for under £30,000 really could be a game changer.
Some description from the MG uk website including official range estimates and included specification;
All-New MG4 EV is our first fully-electric hatchback car. With up to 281 miles of electric range* and two battery options, standard features include a 10.25" colour touchscreen with Apple CarPIayTM and Android AutoTM , MG iSMART app connectivity, and our MG Pilot suite of driver assistance systems, making MG4 EV the no compromise electric car.
Choose our Trophy Long Range and you will also benefit from a 360° Parking Camera, Satellite Navigation, Heated Front Seats and Steering Wheel, and Mobile Phone Bluetooth Key.
*Range applies to All-New MG4 EV SE Long Range with the 64kWh battery from a single charge on the WLTP combined cycle: Combined Range 281 miles (450 km): City Range: 360 miles (579 km); Combined Driving Efficiency: 3.8 miles/kWh (16.0 kWh/I00km).

Why don't you just say if it's better than a Cupra or an ID3 or M3? Once you rank it's competition then tell them is 10k cheaper or 15k for M3?
@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270

Sounds about right. The motor in the e-Niro is 150 kW and is rated at I think 201 bhp in old (ICE) money.

I got my MG4 SE Long Range last week and as a first time EV owner I must say its a fantastic experience. I was tempted by the Trophy version but I held off and saved myself the £3000 upgrade. Thankfully the first batch of SE's also come with the rear privacy glass which the others won't and also due to the shortage of granny chargers it came with a type 2 cable also. Great review overall!

Great video as usual Rich. I have driven a Tesla M3 LR for two years, I test drove the MG4 SE std range at the weekend and I’m incredibly impressed with this car. It’s wonderfully planted and solid. Steering is great and I can see myself doing long trips in it. It has some scratchy surfaces but so does the Tesla and this is a 25,999k car. My wife and I actually enjoyed it that much that I’ve got one on order to replace my wife’s VW diesel. It arrives in a few weeks. Very excited 😊

Copy that on the usual high standard of RS reviews. I wondered about the smaller battery (51 kWh?) which is I believe LFP as opposed to NMC for the bigger one as tested here. LFP has certain advantages but it would be good to see a side by side comparison on a road trip to see how the charging times compared. The LFP version would have to be charged more often but would the point to point times be much different given that LFP is supposed to be able to sustain high charging rates for longer.
@stuart_thomas
@stuart_thomas Год назад
@@kiae-nirodiariesencore4270 I’m happy to do a test or two when we receive it. We went with the standard for the LFP. Charging to 100% will be like charging to 80% with the nmc chemistry so didn’t quite see the point of spending the extra 2.5k. We also plan to keep it long term so our twins can take ownership of it when they pass their tests (few years yet) and the LFP will hopefully fair better long term. We’ll see though 😊

@ianjames3078 Год назад
Spot on with the efficiency, I’ve got 3.7 over my first 1000 miles in my SE LR. 4 on country roads and 3.5 on motorway. Charging……you have to test it Richard!! MG have understated the charging rate! I got 142kW for quite a while on Ionity…….went from 22-80% in 23 mins! A French review backs this up on RU-vid. MFG 150kW charger maxed at 100kW though. Ride/handling balance is one of the strongest points, very pleased with that. Bugs: Software related. No scheduled climate, can’t activate climate easily when car is plugged in unless it’s charging in my experience. Plus lights come on when pre-heating, which is a bit distracting / attracting. Safety interventions also seem to come on too soon, EBA has come on when passing vehicles and LKA is very keen. And the settings for driving modes etc reset when you turn the car off…..frustrating! Hopefully stuff that MG will sort with software updates 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Just on the MFG 100kW. This is because MFG use chargers that are limited to a set number of amps. 800v cars will achieve 150kW but 400v cars like this MG, and most others on the market, will only get around 100kW. 800v cars get more kW with the same amps (Volt x Amp = Watts). Apologies if you knew this, hopefully it males sense to folks reading it who didn't know.

MG4 is what the industry needs to set a new bench mark for quality, price and warranty (not just battery) at a much affordable level. I hope this helps OEMs to push the prices down then more people can get in an EV. If this is what MG/SAIC can do at 26k the futures attractive

We have a red MG4 SE standard range to collect in 2 weeks. We went for the standard range as my wife drives around 40 to 50 miles a day and she will charge at home and we're happy to charge en route for any longer journeys. We've not driven one yet but your review, along with others, has given us a good idea of what to expect. I have never bought a new car before, or even nearly new, but I was bowled over with the idea of the MG4 when I first saw it and we will be getting rid of a diesel CLK which averages 30 mpg this weather and requires quite a bit of maintenance each year.

6:15 you mentioned the possibility of the rear seat belts rattling. A simple solution, I think, plug them in. If you’re not carrying passengers in the back just plug them in. If you are carrying passengers in the back, the seat belts “should” be plugged in. As a result no more potential rattles. I really like the MG4. It is pretty much ideal for me. A medium sized hatch back (I currently drive a VW Polo) at a price I can actually afford. Very informative video. Thank you. 👍

Thank you. It wasn’t that easy to find fault with this vehicle in a quick review. Looks like those Chinese owners want to keep some sportiness associated with that MG badge, so I say good for them. There is definitely some value to the MG (Morris Garages) name in the UK - Spoken by a Canadian who has previously owned three Made in England products. BTW, don’t forget that many of your subscribers are part of an international audience, most of whom would not understand what you meant when you said the charging port was on the “nearside”. Nearside and offside are known to me as I have spent way too many hours reading BMC service manuals in my younger days.

Thanks for reviewing a Brixton Blue MG4 with the extra battery size and spoilers. We agreed on the car. My wife liked the Orange, I didn’t. I liked the Red but my wife said we had done red (current ICE) so the colour we BOTH liked was the blue, so our blue car will arrive soon. Cars do look different in 3D. We love the design. It boldly says it’s a REAL electric vehicle from the wheels up, not an adapted ICE design. We like the way it sits on the road and drives. I am especially pleased it has an MG badge. I have to admit I wanted an MG so it’s nice they made one I can afford and we both want an EV.

Looks good! Do wish that aero wheel covers were simpler and at least tried to look aerodynamic! Good effort and will be worth a serious look…

If this had been out when i bought my Cupra i think i'd have plumped for this. Personally i like the Cupra but it does have a few little annoying issues with it, but a bit like you, i do look for things that could be better (bloody haptic's spring to mind!). Majority of my miles in the Cupra is between Cwmbran and Bristol (M4) yet after 8000 miles i'm still averaging 4kw/h so i'm not unhappy with that. MG defo one to consider for the future, nice seeing a manufacturer putting in a better priced motor. Hopefully it forces others to follow suit

useful review thanks, certainly seems to be the car of the moment. Just curious RE: the lane assist function, seen a few videos saying it's too intrusive, is default and has to be disabled start of every journey if you don't want it and can't be switched off in settings. Any thoughts?

One reason I'm interested in an MG4 is the placement of the charge port in the rear left corner. We're planning to drive in France next year and the charging infrastructure isn't great. However Tesla have opened some of their Superchargers to other vehicles so this would be an easy vehicle to access them.

I have a model 3 and we now have one of these on the drive for the wife. It’s a great little car much better ride than Tesla as you say. Some niggles on driver assistance and other bits but I guess updates will improve on that.

Got this on order Trophy Blue. Every so often outside the luxury market something special comes along out of nowhere. This is that something special. BTW audit your life how much do you own and enjoy from China? I know you’re trying to discover something not designed in USA/EU/U.K. with Chinese money and build. Ahhh the snobs will miss out such a bloody shame!!! Before you snob out as I nearly did get down to those MG dealers - you’ll see.

Torn between the blue and white. Have a white honda hrv. Decided to go for the blue as every other car on the road is white. Leap of faith. Ordered it last week so should have it in march. 8 weeks for delivery in Ireland. Hope it comes with privacy glass

Great review again Richard. I have exactly the same model and colour MG4 on order but have yet to manage a test drive, although this is booked for next week. Currently own an Enyaq IV60 which is a lovely large SUV, again - agree with your review of the Enyaq, in particular the quality of the interior which is up there with Audi imo. Also just taken delivery of a Tesla Model 3 SR which having driven 600 miles in first week of ownership am enjoying more than I thought I would. My “dilemma” do I cancel the MG order or sell the Enyaq? I want to enjoy the Model 3 for a while.

Have been seriously thinking of putting our Kona ultimate in against one of these. There are features on the MG that our Kona doesn't have and we would love, though it seems to fair less well on efficiency and range. The 4 or 5 grand bonus is a bit tempting for us.

I don't know if the MG4 has it and I’m waiting for my MG ZS EV to be delivered to see if it exist in the UK version but in the MG i drove in France hidden in one of the settings was indicator noise level which by default was about mid-range. (if you have an MG ZS let me know if it is also in the UK version). For some drivers it's good to have them loud so you don't follow them for 30 miles wondering where and when are they going when they finely turn nearly into you just as you decide they are not going to change lane and decide to pass them.

I was really taken with one of these for my wife until I read the warranty document, not much covered for 7 years with some items only covered for 3 months! Make sure you know what you are getting into, a huge shame as the car drives great.

Every new EV that comes to the market is great news, good to see they are getting the price down for people, But it's not my cuppa, not a fan of all the sharp, angular styling and too many buttons and switches etc, but not bad for the masses, well done MG !

My MG4 trophy should be delivered in a week or two. Drove their demonstrator, the only niggle was the overzealous 'lane assist' which didn't really like narrow lanes with side potholes filled in with crushed chalk (I believe you can turn it off). Oh, and I think the rear end looks awful - but you can't see that when you're driving :)
