second that. i've been looking at EVs recently and the one drawback keeping me from considering the x-power more seriously is the range. if it had the long range battery in it, it would be a no brainer. as i is, its slightly not enough to be comfortable - i have a 400km trip to see the family and with the bigger battery could comfortably make it and not have to charge half way.

@@JeffGoris not sure the wheels will make any difference other than looks .. better off with a set of better tyres ..

[@JeffGoris]

@volvot6rdesignawd702 if you save 3-4 kg on each wheel, that's 12-16 kg weight saved overall, so not huge. Because it's rotating mass when it comes to accelerating, braking and range, it could count about triple which is significant (36-48 kg equivalent, anecdotal as I have never seen scientific testing to measure this). The benefits of reducing unsprung mass also makes for quicker suspension movement so better handling. I'm sure racing teams know what the real world benefits are, but I have been able to find out definitive data. The problem with rotational mass is it depends how the weight is distributed. Weight further from the centre counts more than weight close to the centre for a spinning mass. Unless the weight reduction is mainly at the rim, the weight savings aren't that significant.

[@volvot6rdesignawd702]

@@JeffGoris well the specs say a 50:50 weight distribution on the X power .. Kinda make sense battery in the middle 2 motors 1 on each end !!

This package at 5k without the wheels ( to be honest light weight wheels will do very little accept maybe decrease 0-100 times by a insignificant amount ) otherwise springs , tyres and bodykit for 4 to 5k would be a great option !! and MG should offer it in my opinion !!

TC cant really be turned off, it will hook up better , but if you have any slip , it rolls the beans back even further. also, allow for a rear only mode without eco, and with more playful TC, i like to have the rear step out at times.

To be bluntly honest, this is how the standard X-Power should come. They market it as some beast and it gets such poor reviews apart from straight line performance (which lets face it most EV's have so it makes it then nothing special) so it SHOULD come with all this stuff at the current X-Power price as standard. There is a current run out on all MG's and to be honest that would be the MOST I'd ever pay for one, I see their run out special prices as a price most people would pay at the very most and that is ONLY because they now also come with a 10 year warranty but they STILL lack things I'd want in a car at that price. I also don't know why most Chinese cars apart from their "performance" versions are SO slow when Tesla's are ALL great and zippy like EV's are (just instant torque) so playing down these feature in their cheaper models MG could have done so much better. Even then I'm having a real hard time convincing myself of parting with my classic 90's sports car that has as much performance as this (and costed a fraction of the price, altho not anymore) and my BMW Series 3 that I don't want to part with as it is so so comfortable and reliable to drive. So I'd want that X-Power to solve and be a 2 in 1 car for me but yeah the quality control issues are really worrying from reviews I read (owners and prof testers) it seems so hit and miss as some have zero problems and others have tons. And absolutely not a fan of those brake covers.... they should be proper brakes..... not dressed up as proper ones that then catch on fire as they are done on the cheap. PS that screen really sucks and would annoy the hell out of me. But yeah all those things mentioned in the video (which is a good review) should be standard and the brakes and screen still suck, plus the charging speeds are meh, especially for the price....

That interior isn’t worth 60k

Is this a running joke that only you think is funny?

[@Funfare454]

@therightcar oh sorry forgot you were an authority in comedy my bad. Your channel is a incredible joke, so very sorry for offending the master.

It's a one trick pony - as a car to live with it's pretty awful. It's super cheap in quality terms and has an awful, totally unfriendly digital interface, with the worst bluetooth integration I've seen since 2011. At 3miles/kw it's poor as a commuter. The wireless charging location is dumb as any acceleration sends your phone flying, and the USB locations are out of sight and awkward to access. The steering wheel I like though and it's so rapid from a standing start, but at higher speeds the acceleration is nothing special.

Electric Hot Hatch ?

Close. It’s not like a Civic Type R or Golf R yet…
