Better looking than a Commondore in my opion.

Chances are that the next generation mg4 will have more steering feedback.

Thanks for review. I have the same hybrid Xv with right-side wheel, but in far east part of Russia, where we by cars from inside Japanese market 😊

Could be the world's best car. It's just flat out too ugly to consider

need walkinshaw w375

Yo that's a mark 4 not a mark 3.... mark 3 is NC.

U are way to old for this. Best car in class 😅

Ah doesnt get old :) its very handy to have, merging, off the lights. This isnt a sports car, nor is it sold as one, this is a family car with poke. And closest thing to a shooting brake. with coilovers , wider tyres, softer front sway, it would possibly be more spirited. But not what it was sold as. :)

That’s your missus with the Bob cut.

Pretty cool you got a sound engineer to mic up your car!!🇦🇺🇦🇺👌

New owner here. I agree. Too heavy, and not enough feedback from the connection to the road to be a fair dinkum hot hatch contender. For me the beauty is that I can drive it sensibly and reasonably economically, then bung it in Sport, and go nuts. And damn, go nuts is an understatement. 😱😂 Bearing mind I'm a moto guy, not a car guy, the greatest compliment I can give is that my XPower overtakes like a fast motorbike. 😱 Despite occasional hooning, current economy calculates to over 400km range. It's a good car with minor flaws, and runout sales here meant I paid much less than $NZ65k. A few extra dollars spent by MG could have made it amazing. I'm really struggling to find the right words for this - I'd say it's more a car that adds enjoyment to driving, as distinct from a car you drive for the enjoyment of driving, if that makes sense. 🤷

So the MG4 XPower would compete against the Kia EV6 GT, Hyundai Ioniq 5N and Tesla Model 3 performance then? Considering how much more power they all make and their significantly higher price tags I am not so sure. I think it currently stands alone at it's price point, and good on MG for selling it. Whether it will sell is another story entirely though...

I've had the RWD MG4 for nearly a year and really enjoy the drive. The chassis and power delivery are really pretty impressive in comparison to previous hot hatches I've had. Even prefer it over my 300bhp Subaru it replaces. Don't think I would pay the extra for the Xpower but can't argure with the numbers. The whole MG4 range certainly puts some price pressure on competitors to sharpen their prices

"I dinnae, Captain! I've got range anxiety an' build quality issues. I cannae do it!"

I see this car driving around Epsom quite often. XPOW3R

Body styling is 🤮 Alloys look like flower petals

Not known for having an open mind lol.

That´s the right car for our GERMAN AUTOBAHN... No Speed Limit!

Thanks for the lift. I continue to notice MX-5 drivers smile and giggle their way down the road!

1000% the most practical Miata review I’ve watched in the last week. Been binging the videos hard and this was such a breath of fresh air!!! Thank you for sparing us the boring spec sheet nonsense that people can find literal ANYWHERE. Strict focus on the JOY of this vehicle and it’s purpose. Brilliant idea to introduce ‘average’ people to the car to elicit genuine reactions to this cars unique character! Perfect video my friend. Kudos from Canada.

that's very impressive. looks like it gives feedback you can use, and that driver coaches like Mike Eaddy can use to guide you. I'll have a look at the app, figure out how to shave a few sec off my work commute ;-)

Are 2.8 diesel or petrol V8?

very nice review ! very informative and tuched on everything mosty focused on the motor just how i like it

Brought mine last week - absolutely love it . Happy to pay the little extra in fuel

You can charge to 100% just fine. It means don’t do this every single day. Save it for when you need the full range, which for most people is more occasionally than a daily commute.

This Peugeot Rhx or a VW passat B7 or B8 ???

Soccer moms want a Mustang too😂😂😂

What battery type does the 77 model have? NMC as well?

what a great review :) Im surprised that you only have 6k followers.. Greetings from th Czech republic! :)

after driving 4 cyl Japanese cars my entire life, I got the 2004 SL500....omg, the smooth power of this car feels heavenly; everything about this car exudes tremendous quality, and yes it is a head turner. The car is now 20 years old but the styling is timeless art; I predict it will be deemed a collectible classic soon and, due to depreciation, a pretty nice bargain at today's prices. Thanks to consumer reports for their fanatical dislike of European cars, we can get these at tremendously depreciated prices so...take advantage, I say. My SL500 has 68k miles on it and runs better than new; I plan to maintain it till the cows come home; daily commute it with the top down; road trips to national parks thousands of miles away. Let the peons in traffic think I'm rich with me with the top down, and maybe I am; I certainly feel rich driving this undeniably upscale convertible thru town. If I wasn't already happily married, I't be picking up gold-diggers left and right by the university and have them buy me happy meals at the drive thru, among other delightful offerings.

The rear is, to me, reminiscent of 90s Hyundai Santa Fe 😉

I thought you made a really awesome vid . Thourghly enjoyed it good job

I would rather drill into my eyes with a jack hammer than be seen driving this POS. I WANT A V8 REAR WHEEL DRIVE MANUAL ! That's a Holden.

The reviewer obviously is a BMW fan boy. Go and review M5 or M2. Who cares what you love more! You’re here reviewing a beast, a complete beast which I just purchased yesterday 2021 model in selenite grey. Shame on you for comparing it to M5 totally different cars. You’d rather compare it to a BMW X3M competition. It’s like driving a BMW X3M and comparing it to an AMG C63S. You’re not sounding smart at all….

What a beautiful car

In 2024 I've now driven maybe 20 different cars (it's a job thing). The loud blinkers are a feature not a bug when you drive on rough, loud Aussie tarmac, especially in the bush. And the horn is tuned for how you use a horn most of the time: For telling people to move off on a green light, or to stop backing out into you etc. It's a nice soft toot instead of a BEEEP! that instantly causes road rage. A little "PARP" doesn't make anyone angry. Someone thought about this horn. NGL I do miss air horns on sedans though. My dad's 1980 Falcon had an air horn. When we were 7-8, we thought it was the absolute best.

Can’t believe the hipe about range🤬whenever I do a trip I stop every two hours pee and top the tank Why not the same with EV The oil companies continue to trying to spread panic range it just total crap

What a waste was in the market for one of this but it lacks a lot for the price . Currently have a gwm steed 5 2.5tci wanted an automatic 4x4 but this aint it.

Best review ever!!!

The car does not use the side skirt cameras for the 270 degree camera. That would be the ones in the mirrors. The side skirt cameras are for the side view. There's a dedicated button, above the park sensor button beside the gear lever, for that. It's a different option alltogether.

1 pedal driving can potentially mess up your brakes over time. You need to use them 😉

funny guy

Bit of everything thrown in on the design front.

You can adjust the volume of the indicator in every other KGM model so I would expect you can in this too. It's a neat feature for those hard of hearing for sure. As for the screen - unfortunately, KGM have got issues like many brands with infotaintment - KGM particularly have crashing issues, black screens and memory issues where settings are forgotten. It's a pretty big problem for them and more annoying it's happening on the latest models. KGM have - for example - only just fixed a software issue that afflicted all Rexton and Musso models since 2021 whereby their centre screens would crash - sometimes constantly. They have only now in March 2024, sorted this issue out and are rolling out an update for existing owners. It's a real shame for them because I think they have some great models - Korean made (not Chinese as many people seemed to think given the now ditched 'Ssangyong' brand name). I've had a few, have the latest Rexton with the new interior - it's a great car!

Thank you for the information, should be collecting mine in a few days.

It’s unfortunate that they don’t get made here anymore so if you want a Aussie commodore you’ll just have to settle for an older one

Love it. Very Edgy design.

Can people please not adapt American terms and use them in Australia… It is and always will be a UTE. I note you also swapped between truck and Ute during your commentary

Range and WLTP. As with everything it is all about what you do as 'routine'. NMC batteries are definitely best charged only to 80%; that is generally the quickest charge level to achieve. But when you do NEED the range (eg. for road-tripos, to reach a certain destination) it is quite OK to do this. Just make sure that this is not done ALL the time. Actually for the very best battery longevity you should just keep the charging to around 40%-70%. This will give you plenty of driving range for most day-to-day driving, around town for commuting and shopping.

Wow. Marketing spin. G'day Blu, I also own a VF SSV series 2. There is no way in the world, I was going to buy the ZB.
