The price wars have begun! And it looks like the MG4 is now the new king of value for motorists tired of expensive, dirty petrol cars.
At first glance, this new electric crossover appears to have everything the average kiwi family could want while priced the same as a comparably-sized hybrid - but without all the ongoing maintenance, running costs and pollution.
It looks great, it charges quicker than more expensive vehicles, it's loaded with gadgets and space, it's safe, and of course it costs mere cents per kilometre to operate. Plus, if you run it on Ecotricity electricity, it's beyond clean! But as you'll see in the review, Gav discovered that even great cars aren't perfect...

Thank you for publishing the 65 cm (25 in) seat height from the ground. That's important for folks with mobility issues! Nobody else shows it. Tesla tells me its top speed is 140, and the 0-60 is 2.x seconds but you have to measure the damn height of the seats yourself. So, thank you. P.S. I have no intention of driving my car at top speed, ever, in the state of Maine, USA. Top speed is relevant only on the autobahn

I've had a look at both the MG4 and the BYD Dolphin and I expect they will be the ones to choose from due to the similar price and size. It would probably be a very interesting comparison between the MG4 and Dolphin plus maybe bring in a second hand 2018 Nissan Leaf to see how they compare for the price difference.

Atto 3 is quirky, large, weird to drive MG4 seems more of a European car, smaller, probably handles better I drove an Atto 3 and found that although the body was solidly-made (doors closed with a particularly nice sound and the funky trim was high quality), the handling was very supermarket-trolley strange coming from a Tesla. Seemed to be riding very high, steering weighting was uneven, and there were traction control interferences even with the relatively limited power on offer. I’d say if you want a spacious family vehicle on a budget and if you might have considered a Kia Sportage, you pick the Atto 3, and if you want a car that drives more like a (modern) Toyota Corolla or VW Golf, you pick the MG4. But I’m not Gavin and he has driven both, so I’ll let him give the final answer :)

Drove one today, great car, handles well, heaps of tech. Was keen to purchase one but after spending a little time in it I couldn’t live with the front seats. The base is too short (granted I have long legs) but it doesn’t offer any support and you can’t adjust it, only up and down - no tilt function. I also found the seats quite narrow and I’m far from being wide in the rear. No lumbar support either. Awesome cameras. Definitely more on the sporty suspension tune on kiwi roads. I’m sure they will still sell well MG have definitely meet the market and hit some good price points.

It's only $7000 NZ cheaper than a Tesla Model 3 RWD in this trim - I would pay that extra for the Tesla every day of the week it's a far superior car in very dimension, including the ride with the 18" wheels and updated softer suspension. Bigger, Faster, Longer Range, More economical, better materials, massively better interface, better infrastructure and and LFP battery v NMC (in the 64kwh model) means 100% charge every day for the tesla and keeping it between 80-20 for the MG to avoid battery degradation.

@@petercroft9895 there are plenty of aftermarket options that you can buy & install yourself to add these very features (programable SEXY buttons, gauge cluster screens etc) and many look factory... to be honest though, after a few weeks driving, you soon get used to a different way of doing things - doesn't take long to get familiar with where the couple of settings you use most frequently sit on screen, and looking slightly to side of steering wheel for speed etc quickly becomes natural too (though I do agree with the bouncy finger issue). PLEASE NOTE, a recent software update has provided a massive level of functionality to steering wheel scroll buttons (can access many common adjustments now) and I often use voice commands to alter air con/windscreen defogger etc - these work so much better now too since "kiwi" English update some months ago - Tesla CONTINUELY improve their vehicles through software (every 2-3 months), adding requested features if demanded by enough people at no extra charge - what other vehicle manufacturer would do this?!

the entry level one is the one that's going to do the business- 39k? that's pretty game changing. Sorry. Hate that phrase. Tesla Model 2 might kill it off, when it finally shows up.

Anything above 30k should not be considered affordable.

I had an MG rental a couple of weeks back, it’s easily the worst modern car I have driven in 20 years.

Does it have an interior light in back seat? Big surprise for us with our ZS EV - that it wasn't there I mean.

How is the lane-keeping tech, every review/owner video i've seen of this car and people *HATE* it and it's nearly gotten people killed.

Can you compare with the Tesla Model 3 SR+. If possible through in a journey with highway hyper-rapid charge into the comparison

Love the interior, still not sure about the exterior. Like the EV6 it's a little Donald Duck like at the front. Not sure about your "pushed off is better than pulled off" comment, in a family car😂😂😂

What great value to get a ‘proper’ skateboard platform - in a hatchback - far less money than a FIAT 500 (which, like the Corsa and Leaf, makes do with an old-skool FWD setup with cheap twist-beam rear) and yet you also get a bigger battery/more range/more power. Seven-year warranties - These deserve to sell well!

@gregb1599
@gregb1599 11 месяцев назад
@staticman1263 Yeah, apparently, it will be based on the MG4 platform, so it is built as an exclusive EV only, and like the MG4 Xpower AWD, almost certain.

Why do car reviewers always review the top spec model?? It’s irrelevant to most buyers, because most people buy the base model. Please review the base model!!

The MG4 top spec Essence model is the only one in NZ at the moment, I test drove it last week. The dealer I spoke to wasn’t sure when the lower spec would arrive.
