This CHEAP Electric Car Is The Ultimate All-Rounder

nice

And the country is not good to the Muslim people.more cars .BIGGER ARMY.

Giggling about the wheel arches didn’t seem sensible to me?

affordability is relative.

@@AmongUs-mb4qx Absolutely, I guess most people (with jobs) could afford one (via lone). But you can still get new ICE cars for less than half of that. For some, that difference might be too tempting even if their running costs will be WAY higher with ICE.

@@MegaLahak Yeah, The running costs of ICEs are pretty damned scary, and there's no way to recoup any of those costs. OTOH, with an EV it is till possible to recoup that original outlay... by charging at home. And most normal users really can charge at home almost all of the time. I know that people like travelling salesmen habitually drive long distances every day, but there really aren't many other jobs that require that level of range under normal situations. I live out in the sticks in NE Spain. I'm 100km away from my daughter, 80km away from any decent sized city, but a 200 mile range is still going to be easily enough to meet my needs. Add in the extra 20 miles from the MG4, and there will not be many journeys that will have me thinking "Have I got the range?" And the costs on a home charger are staggeringly small. Half the cost per mile over petrol, even using the exorbitant prices on electricity, And the running costs don't just stop at the fuel. Maintenance on EVs is also hugely reduced; no engine, gearbox or clutch to maintain, brake pads also get a much easier life because of regenerative braking, about the only moving parts that are going to need maintenance are the suspension, steering and windows. And if you've got space for solar, not only do you get much of your cost of mileage paid for, you can still use the car for V2L. But we come back to the OP; yes these cars, even MGs, are not for the poor because of that original outlay. And that is a real, real shame. Because cheap, independent transport should not only be possible for the rich, it should be for the poor. But this is still another area of human endeavour in which the rich not only have an advantage , that advantage is accentuated , so the rich continue to become richer, while the poor are condemned to an inferior choice, not because of the overall cost, but by the original outlay

Sweden gov just deleted state subventions for EVs. 70 000sek

@@deadmanwalking6342 sort of a good move IMO. The rules for it was upside down. The more expensive car you got, the more money you got (to a point). It should either have been the same regardless of price or, preferably, more subsidised the cheaper it was. I don't support that tax payers should pay more for rich peoples luxury cars. Also, often times people got the subsidies and then turned around and sold the cars abroad for profit. It would have needed more regulation to be a fair system.

Aside from you can buy a 2000s era legacy for 1500quid, do all the work on it yourself run it for 100k and sell it for 1500quid.

Have you sean the EARTH moved to get the batteries made and the amount of WATER needed.

@@glynscothern4073 Hi - no I haven't a clue but what i do know is that fracking, coal mining and oil drilling are not green solutions to the planet's approaching doom. Those industries have been and are responsible for the catastrophe that is just around the corner. In terms of environmental damage open cast mines, oil spillages and earthquakes come to mind. I gather the process if fracking needs immense amounts of water so, while electric cars are not the complete answer, the fact that they can run on green energy is a bonus. Why don't you try one - you might like it.

@@glynscothern4073 point taken. And if the Chinese are using child labor, that’s a deal breaker. We have two hybrids, and aren’t planning to switch anytime soon.

@@nickiemcnichols5397 Using child labor? The average salary of SAIC workers is about ten times that of their Mexican counterparts

@@glynscothern4073couldn’t see it because of the oil pollution.

That sounds like a completely different price. Has the AUD fallen or is it no incentives or what?

Whats an AD

@@alexanderdcossey9146 advertisment

I’ve just taken delivery of my first EV, Cupra Born. Love the car, however, trying to charge on public chargers is a nightmare. Lots of them don’t work, the Tesla chargers haven’t played well so far, good luck

@@graham1155 are you in UK, if so my friends tell me the same. I'm here in Spain and I know the Tesla superchargers here work well with the MG4. Plus we have quite a number of free chargers here that my friends tell me work ok. We will see

@@Ian_Woods hi Ian , yes, I’m in the uk. I’ve had a good day today, found two chargers that worked 😁

Vehicle to load, carry a hair dryer with you hehe.

Mad as it may sound, that's an important feature for most. He didn't need to here because of the MG4 review. But a lot of people want to see how it is, as they don't want a system like the old MG5 (which imho, was worse than the one in my MG6, which whilst it has less features, has zero lag!).

@@PhotoWirral Yes I agree and I know it’s the center piece nowadays of modern cars, it just that some reviews base such an emphasis on the thing and bypass so much. But your right, I guess that’s what people want to know about. Cheers.

It is, nothing out there under 30k, cost savings over the life are massive even with high electricity prices.

As soon as I heard over 30K I noped the heck outta there

@@BillsCountrysideAdventures Obviously this is only true in general if you: 1. Can home charge at a low rate. 2. Typically do 10-15k miles pa 3. Your previous ICE have 《50mpg. When did you ever keep a car from live (new) to scrap yard? Or by life you mean the usual 4-5 year ownership cycle? The whole "EV-cheaper" narrative annoys me somewhat, as each persons usage and man maths are different.

People bumping into things are the issue.

By design

That’s the only earth friendly way to charge. Why charge with coal fired? Or gas fire? Defeats the purpose.

@@nickiemcnichols5397 yes of course, and wouldn't it be neat if the stored energy in the car can be used to power the home after sunset. be curious to hear if there is development underway for this

The electric Vauxhall Astra and Peugeot 308 will both be available as estates and are due to be launched next year. If they don't price them competitively against the MG5 they are asking for trouble.

@@stevenjones916 The Stellantis e versions are all roughly £10000 (over 50% in some cases) more expensive than the petrol versions, I have doubts the estates would not get uplifted the same way meaning they'll be £36k - £40k

They could have done so years ago by combining the electric architecture of the I-Pace with an Evoque and made a car I would be tempted to buy. I think the I-Pace looks weird. Richard from Electric Classic Cars loves turning old Defenders into EVs using Tesla motors. Not cheap though.

The Ioniq starts from £41k. And you'll wait about 6-9 months it as the big boys are still cashing in on the supply/demand issue, in fact they are more than ever now. But don't let that stop you expecting a few more toys inside from the MG for £30k. The MG4 is a game changer, you may see the likes of Hyundai, Vauxhall, Citroen, and others disappear over the next few years as a result of the Chinese behemoths coming in and offering affordable top quality cars whilst the traditional car companies focus on ripping off the consumer for every penny they can. The economy is in a slump, possibly longterm, MG and other budget manufacturers will profit from both private and fleet sales. It could genuinely come down to Kia or Hyndai, but this town might not be big enough for both of them! I suspect Kia would survive the cut, as it's got a much better reputation.

@@PhotoWirral I urge you to read more carefully my post. I clearly state "my Ioniq 38 kWh". This is the second iteration of the classic Hyundai not the newer car called an Ioniq 5. I recently purchased it used for around £22k, it's an excellent vehicle and as good as new which is why I felt it is comparable with this new vehicle.

@@judebrown4103 tbh I don't know what an Ioniq 38kwh is - Hyundai's are all crap, bore machines. I was an new Ioniq recently (taxi) and the materia quality was horrendous. About on par with my MG6 GT Turbo - and that was lamented for its material and build quality. I wouldn't own one if you paid me. Well I would, and then I'd sell it and pocket the cash, or if I wanted an electric car I'd buy an MG4 (the triple motor variant due Q2 2023) and have a few quid in the bank as some Muppets out there clearly think Hyundais are worth 40k+ 🤣

@@PhotoWirral well both the 28kWh and the 38kWh classic Ioniqs have the best range of any ev. I rarely get less than 5miles per kWh and often see over 6 and have seen 8. Bought it in September, I'm in the UK so weather was autumnal by then. Admittedly circumstances mean I have not done any longer trips yet but that's still excellent range, last time I charged to 100% it predicted 216 miles on the GoM, with 215 in Sport and 217 in Eco. The inside is decent quality, fabric seats which I prefer, some hard plastics but that's an advantage when you have muddy dog and people in it. It's light and airy, has blue mood lights, a good back up camera, heated seats with three settings and heated steering wheel. The infotainment screen is intuitive...to someone who has the intuition of someone younger than me but it does what I need, has Android auto. There's cruise control, lane keep assist, auto hold and probably more besides which I've forgotten. Nothing wrong with it at all, it's a great car, the boot is a good size given its a saloon but I'm used to estates or boxy shaped cars just like the Sono Sion which is probably the only car I'd change it for now. Apart from the boot which I can at least get my walking aid into, we're really happy with it.

Reminds me of a late 1990’s BMW wagon on the outside .. I’m just jealous that Europe gets so many more and better electric vehicles .. 😮

I think the issue is the factory capacity and the labour cost. But if MG does the way they sell the car to Taiwan, which they ship to the components to Taiwan and assemble there then that might be working. Like BYD ship the London Bus EV component to the UK and assemble here. MG would be much cheaper

I agree. Lets get manufacturing going again. We need cheap energy though. Here's an idea, lets build a pipeline to bring in gas from our European neighbour, Russia! ....wait....Nar...scrub that!

UK driving on the wrong side of the road (pardon the joke) means cars built for the EU (and thus left side steering wheel placement) can't really be used all that well in the UK itself. Doesn't sound all that great to me tbh.

@@KonsaiAsTai that is not a problem. The UK can build the latest tech, self driving cars!, so it doesnt matter which side the steering wheel is!

I know prices are crazy but what new car can you get for £14k? A Dacia Sandero? That's about it. This (or rather the MG4) is pretty much the cheapest new EV you can get in the UK. So in EV terms, it IS entry level.

Also 4 year old ones are ten grand now which is a bargain!

Cheap as

Its made in A Not free state.

It turns out it’s a “Paddock” sign (British design) 🤣

no, this SAIC company is a joint venture with GM in china.. so without GM permision this car will not available in NA / USA, especially whhen the trade war is still going on.

Except this is an estate car ....and the '4' .. isn't! Soo....if you need an estate.....!?

@@andymccabe6712 If the MG5 isn’t an estate car, what is it?

Ironic that MG made the first cheap small roadster, the MGB, but it was kind of crap, so Mazda made an infinitely better spiritual successor, the MX-5, and sold millions of them over decades. But Mazda can't really make any decent EV right now, so the spiritual EV successor to the MX-5 is once again an MG, except now under Chinese management.

Er, they will support 75kg - like he told you, if you'd been listening! Naughty step for you, sonny.......

They are fictional but I think they can only take 75 KG.

Oh so you like SUVs. That must be difficult for you. There must be about three cars on the market you have to avoid then... ;)

Most people are younger than 70

Apparently BYD is looking at sending parts to the US for local assembly to get around the tariffs. Hopefully MG is considering the same. I have their earlier MG ZS EV in Australia and would strongly recommend.

👆I got a fantastic gift for you🎉❤

Absolutely 100% agree, charging port is extremely vulnerable on the front, should you happen to have even a little shunt. It would be an expensive garage repair.

👆👆I got a fantastic gift for you 🎁🎁💝🎁

Most (if not all) properly designed EVs won't let you drive with the charging cable plugged in.

@@calb86 Ah... I wasn't sure, so...there are some that don't...? 🤔

I’m sure it’s a standard of CCS. The Electric car knows it’s connected to a EVSE and can not be driven.

yes it will be after saic no longer makes ICE vehicles in 2025.

@@vorlon81 The sooner the better. MG have made cheap and cheerful ICE cars but it is with EVs that they have shone.
