WOW, Thomas... I think I must've watched, maybe, 10 or more reviews of the MG4 over the last month, yet yours is the ONLY one that has demonstrated the steering wheel hot-keys in operation - a really important feature compared to the likes of the iD.3 where those functions are buried in the infotainment system. Fantastic work, fella... 🏆 Oh, and I think the English term you were looking for in describing the rear-view camera 'distortion' is it has a "fish-eye" view. 👍 But, if you don't mind me saying, I think your use of English is absolutely astonishing - I've no idea where you learnt the language but some of the phrases and descriptions you use - like the word 'accentuation', for example - would shame most UK-born reviewers...!! 🤣

You are wrong, it is the legislation. European legislation has set CO2 targets which manufacturers can only achieve by selling enough EVs, in fact the EV sales offset the ICE cars, but the targets become stricter and stricter over the coming decade. You can't call out a manufacturer for following legislation targets... From 2035 on ICE sales will be banned anyway, except for those who run on green fuels only. Hydrogen would also be an option, at least in theory as they are interpreted as 0 CO2 in legislation.

Halogens are great for cost saving especially for the turn signals. If you want LED turn signals with smooth blinking light then you'll need a PWM module (PWM is the reason why you see some LED lights flashing on and off in camera but not visible to human eyes) which control the dimming effect for the light and will add even more cost to the car while halogen bulbs don't need all of that to have the smooth blinking effect.

I have said this on pretty much every video for this car and I'll say it here again. The Short Range version uses LFP battery chemistry. Nobody mentions battery chemistry for some reason but it's worth mentioning as you can charge it to 100% with almost no battery degradation, as opposed to the regular lithium battery chemistry which should only be charged to 80% regularly to preserve long term battery health. Actually the long range version at 80% should have the same range as the short range version at 100%, so something to consider perhaps for some people. Also there are active vents above the front splitter in the LR version that close on the highway to improve the aero I believe.

There is really only one country where EVs are actually cheap though, and that's China. There is a very basic MG4 with the small battery that is under 20k USD in China, and BYD will soon launch the Seagull city car that might be as cheap as 12k USD.

I had a testdrive today with MG4. Very interesting car, nice to drive! But a have problems at my cervical spine and getting in and out of the car isn´t comfy at all; feels like the door cutout is just not high enough for me personally, I had to pull my head in very far when getting in and out of the car =/ Not a problem of the car I think but for myself. -.-

Interesting how all the heavy vehicles (hav) are all in the slow lanes on motorway. In Australia they’d be spread out across the lanes cause it’s a free for all for them. Really shows how the hgv 80km/h limit is so effective and why we need it in Au asap.

Thomas you said they use letherette for the seats but what about the steering wheel? the other thing is i have seen a review of the MG5 which has the charging port at the front, they should have done the same with the MG4 because it is the best place for it i feel.

Love the car and will probably order one this year. but so many odd choices made on this car. No rear interior lights... at all. haven't seen cars like that since the 80s. Halogen rear turn lights. can't add roof rails at all. Zero ambient lighting in the car at all. Drive mode buried in the menus no wireless car play in 2023 (I know it launched in 2022m but still) I know they needed to make cuts for it to be a budget car, but some of these added extras would not have been expensive...

This vehicle looks good but the overall shape looks like the Volkswagen ID.3 along with the gaugue cluster and infotainment screen location and the infotainment system software looks like a car-version of GNOME 3.38 or the original mock-up of the Phosh mobile UI for GNOME Shell on computers, Smartphones running Linux with X11/Wayland display server which is not a bad thing but looks kinda dated compared to the infotainment systems of other autos and computer software which has moved away from a skeuomorphic UI design.
