Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to me it's one of the best looking EV's around, looks sporty and looks like it's moving even when parked, far better than 90% of those SUV's that look like a brick with four wheels, it represents an entry to EV's for people without a bottomless pocket !

I like the way it looks. Maybe that's just because every other EV is a big ugly SUV. And I like that the MG4 comes in that bright blue and the cool orange and not just various shades of silver and grey like all the other cars it seems. I mean, it's no Lotus Elise or Porche 911, but they've gone all ugly SUV anyway. It's smart and sporty. I like it!

Owned my MG4 for 6 months now. Infotainment system is a little sluggish at times, but isn’t the maze you think. Two programmable shortcut buttons on steering wheel….I set them to climate control and camera. Agreed with many things you have said here. Not difficult to switch off lane assist which I do on the narrower country roads. I’d have mentioned the option to turn on Traffic Jam Assist which is brilliant.

I've heard a lot of people complain about the driver assistance on the MG's. I've driven the MG5 and never had problems with it. quite the opposite, went a lot better than I expected. the drive had a lot of corners and traffic. the only time it didn't work "properly" was on the really sharp corners. other than that, I had it on the whole drive and braked and turned as it should. yes, sometimes its a bit "harsh" on the steering, but never to the point where I was scared or uncomfortable with it.

I have an MG ZS EV Mk1 (2020) and the lane assist if put on highest setting is reckoned very good and I find it excellent. However, the owners of the later model (the one without the grill) reckon the lane assist on the later model is pretty poor. As I say, these autonomous features are fantastic and you can absolutely trust your life on them, eight times out of ten. @@jimirosa

I agree with you the driving assistance systems are too sensitive. (Found this with a relative's Tesla too) It's also annoying that many settings need to be reset every time you use the car. A big plus is the charging speed - which was a big factor in my purchase - better than a Kia eNiro for example. Pricing is also very competitive and the 7 year warranty is re-assuring.

I can tell you how EV handles hills and mountains. Electric motor overheating, battery overheating and your mileage will disappear in a few minutes literally. And EV without a heater is just a bad joke. But I can explain you why. Because here where I live in a hot country with non-stop working air-conditioner mileage of any EV is not over 200km with fully charged battery driving straight with constant speed. Same situation will be with working heater in cold countries - not over 150-200km.

The MG 4 does have some good features like you pointed out especially the ability to heat the battery, why all manufacturers don't do this is beyond me. Also heat pumps should be standard in EV vehicles if they increase the range. Its like BMW charging you for heated seats on a monthly basis. More cold weather tests please as even here in the UK our EV's suffered with the cold weather recently. It is a pity manufacturers don't give range figures for spring / summer and autumn / winter but I guess people wouldn't buy the EV.

My friend took a 32 grand black MG model in Scotland.. it’s fine … the trunk/boot is too small for my liking … they are fast .. and charge fast … you can get these in Scotland via Mobility for disabled and elderly … a Two grand upfront payment..for the long range model … Technology of cars is moving faster … stopping noise …petrol and diesel contaminants …will help clean up cities dramatically… now we look at clean Electricity Production and sadly oil dependency of Arab nations will render them …. Poorer … when oil is not in high demand… Bless

Kia ora, Jimi greetings from Aotearoa (New Zealand). Thanks for the review, we do not have this car yet in N.Z. Nearest to this is the MGZS ev and BYD Atto3. Where I live (central)is mostly temperate, only the volcanic plateau and far south get as cold as northern Europe. What we do have is hills and mountains, how would the rear drive be going up to ski fields in winter? Good to see the charging is very good. There is no heat pump? Did you have all season or winter tyres?

Thanks for watching Simon. Here in Denmark we are lucky. Huge number of electric cars are available here. This is also why I only make content about EV’s. The MG4 is far better than ZSEV. It has a heat pump and charges on 3 fases (in Denmark), although borg not in the cheaper Nordic Edition, which I also mention in the video. The tires on the car in the video are winter tires. Merry Christmas

At the beginning it was stated that the WLTP figs were 435km of range at 166W/km. Later in real world driving it was 250 W/km. That's a huge difference. Also, the batteries are NCM and thus it is recommended that charge is either 80 or 90% maximum and discharge is not less than 5%, further reducing range. Thus max range of 211 Km in those conditions. Pathetic. My Mazda 2 gets 1000km on 44 li of diesel. Why on earth would I want an EV?

I really like that colour but unfortunately it’s also the same colour as all the utility vehicles of my local council/authority. So this would be the same colour as refuse trucks, road repair trucks, council vans, cars, drain clearance machinery. It would just blend into the background. And those awful rear spoilers in the top spec., which actually decrease the range by 16km due to increased drag. Not much form and function thrown out the window.

@@jimirosa - From other independent testing, the reduction of potential range is correct. The different between the top specs. and others is mainly cosmetic. The main outer difference being the rear spoilers, so I presumed increased drag. I’m fully apologetic for being incorrect for this assumption of increased drag, if I am incorrect.
