MG4 X-Power THIS is what the Cupra Born couldn’t do! Review

[@petrolhead023]

I've done nearly 3k in an Xpower (my first EV) and I'm totally enjoying it. Range is great, styling great, driving aids are great, Power is unbelievable but in spite of that it's not easy to get it to lose grip. 👍

[@BuckleUpShow]

We were already very excited to get our hands on this next week and now your vid has made us even more so!

[@chrism2964]

Personally I dont think its especially attractive (ive had MGs before), but for that performance and price I can live with it. CarWow tested it against a Nissan GTR and it out accelerated and out braked it. While the brakes may not be fancy looking Brembo, but my god do they work!

[@jpht1964]

I think that this car has a very nice design. The whole package is just incredible for the price.😊

[@paultodd9301]

MG for me, love the looks.

[@AutoSocialUK]

Glad you agree with me Paul!

[@renz2.060]

I bought the Xpower in that colour. It's currently at the detailers having a ceramic coat added.

[@peterarmstrong3853]

It's a great car but I chose the byd dolphin over this. Reasons were build quality and dealer back up. I had an mg4 sitting in the garage for 3 months.... There's more to a car than straight line speed. Really happy with byd, really good spec and efficiency!

[@zzhughesd]

What the heck is not to like. For the money. Nice review T

[@petrolhead023]

I've done near to 5k in my Xpower now with no problems and with loads of big smiles.

[@AutoSocialUK]

I am really pleased to hear it!

[@petrolhead023]

@AutoSocialUK Over 8k now , no issues and a lot of grins/missed heart beats... The xpower is a lot of fun. 👍

[@brianaldred8751]

Good time to get one now - lease prices have gone crazy low in the UK this week!

[@jamieperry7323]

We have an XPower and a Born, i personally don't think they can be compared as they have massively different traits. Love both but for very different reasons.

[@Siculo.77]

i love your review and that english accent sounds so lovely. this car gives you smiles per miles. it is absolutely incredible that MG can offer us such a cheap car considering that you get a lot of car for the money and you get sports car performance which is absolutely incredible for that price. in Sweden the price starts from about 50 thousand pounds or 495 SEK.

[@DaveDVideoMaker]

I am glad that MG is coming to Romania in due course, but right now, it’s not yet known what models will make up the range in Romania. But based on what is / will be offered in certain other Balkan countries such as Slovenia, Croatia and Greece, I think Romania will get the MG HS, MG ZS, MG4 (including the XPower), MG5, MG Marvel R and MG Cyberster. Note that Romania is in the Balkans, though a small part of it. But I do know that MG cars in Romania will be offered with a 7-year / 150,000km warranty.

[@garyknight8432]

We totally did need a car like this. It's been out for a while, but I still want one. 👍

[@davegillespie3948]

Biggest drawback is UK doesn't get any interior options, light headlining or seat trim variations that other markets get. Makes the interior a dark pit....still no reading lights for the rear either. These things make day to day living with the car so much more pleasant.

[@toli2270]

look like a normal car but best value sleeper out there, priceless to see BMW/ Audi driver's face

[@triniflyer8685]

I daily a Volvo c40 twin motor that puts out 400hp and 500tq. I am buying this for the wife. Test drove it. It is much more fun than the c40 and the power I find more linear and it’s pulls harder in the top range. The c40 might feel more torquey in the low range but the power fades faster for me. I love the look at the Xpower. We are going with the flare red.

[@mrknighttheitguy8434]

I've driven both. For quality, you can't beat the Cupra Born, but for me, it's the xPower because the power is amazing, and I agree, it's what the Born should have been.

[@ram64man]

im really glad mg listened to buyers by putting a rear wiper back on, but i kind of wish they went a bit further by offering a heat pump as well as matrix headlights as the mg4 lights are well not great in the complete dark

[@bubandit06]

Amazing work from MG. The front looks great and I love that colour. For design, it's just the square back which makes it look like a wedge of cheese like some Prius models. I wish theyde continued the contouring round the back

[@MrGMawson2438]

Great review Tish

[@V_Dubya]

Great spec at an incredible price If it's going to depreciate like a stone like most EVs are at the moment, you may as well start cheap

[@kickstand801]

"Changing people's opinions about EVs." Girl..... you are spot on with that statement! Right off the bat: the colour. I love that racing green finish over Holborn blue. Makes it look a bit more aggressive. Now of course beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. For me personally, for this XPower version I wish they made some changes to the exterior, AND on the interior. But though it's lacking in special pizzazz it makes up for it in performance and PRICE. Around 430 hp and 600 Nm of torque is nuts! Now let me break it down. This EV, which isn't that heavy, accelerates faster than a BMW M2, Audi E-tron, Lamborghini Gallardo, Nissan GT-R, and that's just a short list. Plus, it's cheaper than those 3 German EVs, a Porsche Taycan, and even a couple of Teslas. I even had my mind of that gorgeous Honda Civic Type R with its manual gearbox, but the Xpower is even cheaper than that!!! And that's not even the best part. Despite its obvious flaws, the MG4 XPower..... has a 7 year warranty. I don't recall any can manufacturer with an offer as generous as that! So why should these rich and powerful Tesla, Taycan, Lucid Air, Audi E-tron owners have all the fun? This affordable speed demon is an EV for the working class! Excellent review, Tish!!!

[@zzhughesd]

I have a lot time for the brand. And esp this hyper model… SAIC haven’t half come into UK market and kicked A£se.

[@davidwallin7518]

Unfortunately, for those of of us who are on the Motability scheme (basically, disabled people with major problems walking), we can't have the X-Power version. Shame. But my one is still good for a 0-60 against a boy-racer - and silent! I did do better when, at about 18 (1987/88), I had an 'old' 4.2 Daimler Sovereign (Series 3 , XJ6, Straight 4.2) - that got to 60 faster than anyone who tried it on (and, back then, as an 'old-mans' car, the insurance was cheap. However, the consumption was the other way - average of 9, yes nine, MPG).

[@willsmyth639]

This all is down to what you want in a car a scratchy plastics then go for a pre face lift vw id3 at around £28,000 for 8,000 miles on the clock or a bog standard MG4 which is cheaper ?, this X power is cheaper than the cheapest new id3 so I know what I’d buy even if its it’s used for a wee blast from the lights or just to overtake safely, the MG XPower is good in the wet and as good as any competitors cars at this price point

[@XiCurtisiX]

Do you get in a car and finger the plastics do you? 😂 why does it matter

NEW MG4 XPower review - plus DRAG RACE against Audi e-tron GT! | What Car? What Car?

[@JonBushell]

Nice car. Pitty MG have nothing to do with Longbridge anymore. But why do we need that much power with speed limits coming down. The MGB and Mazda MX5 showed everyone power doesn’t equal fun.

[@zzhughesd]

Pure brand exercise. I wouldn’t have bought MG brand for a £1 and re launched as a mostly Leccy and cheap brand. And look at the success. SAIC have done wonders here and I see current MG as just that MG. May as well be called ABC. They’re not MG. Never have been. Nowt to do with the old lineage whatsoever

The design is indeed Bob on. I agree. It’s a mash up other cars. But …… but works. Other cheap cars. Look like a Duster. No bad thing but they’re devoid of styling. This has styling

[@richardhargrave6082]

What happened to round steering wheels?

[@Trevelyan1971]

Forget how it looks , forget the price and even how it drives. The reality is that mg ownership is dire and focussing on its speed and saying it’s embarrassing any other car is hugely misleading. I owned an mg for a year and the experience is one I would never repeat or wish on anyone else.

[@kostask.9146]

It looks cheap inside, the door panels and the dashboard are too plastic i think!

[@phillipthompson5027]

Stop looking for faults! It's a family hatch with super car performance for less than £40,000. Of course there are going to be issues! But it is a fantastic car which delivers all the thrills and practicality you could want. I won't be crying over some of the plastics being a bit scratchy. Maybe when I can afford £100,000 plus for a car I will expect a bit more.
