MG3 sized EV with 250 miles of range about £20k would be a monster seller.

[@andreasl4507]

Not really. A verry ugly car china trash brand. Disgusting for sure.

[@ecoflex]

Only if you send £1000 on a home charger 77 p at shell 7p on a ev tariff it doesn’t make sense

[@JimT-RCT]

@@ecoflex not forgetting the free electricity from the solar on the roof of course, or the 7.5p/kWh that you can get from your energy provider. If going EV, it makes sense to sort everything out alongside the EV as well.

[@sargfowler9603]

Exciting news! Looking forward to some of these appearing in the UK. From the specifications and looks, it appears MG is giving EV users what they want in a car rather than the "Tesla vision" devoid of indicators, controls, switches, etc.

[@andreasl4507]

Geek

[@Scuba72Chris]

The obsession with screens in cars needs to die.

[@UnderWarranty]

Everything about these cars is designed to distract you from driving haha

[@DwainDwight]

MG9 looks fantastic. cool!!

[@gaz7560]

That MG9 is very nice

[@YSKWatch]

the MOSFET battery is interesting, it's not using capacitor but transistor to store the electricity. because of no liquid, hopefully it can handle environment colder than -25c.

[@jamesnicholl8016]

Miles, MG need to be brave and bring the 9 models to the UK, i would get one tomorrow. They should sell the IM as an MG sub-brand as the styling isnt a match for the MG range.

[@andreasl4507]

Okey qay head

[@robinsonshawqx]

The IM L7 is actually a fantastic driving machine for its horsepower and tuning. It's got a very impressive turning radius due to its rear wheel steering.

[@jimporter]

The battery swap tech is not really a thing for refuelling but it does mean that battery replacement becomes a thing therefore makes the car more sensible on second hand market

[@trailmunki4546]

These would be a fantastic addition for UK roads. Look forward to getting one if they come to the UK

[@josephberrie9550]

learn to spell addition first

[@lizziesharks1]

Would love to see all of these, badged as MG’s, in UK showrooms soon.

[@DuRoehre90210]

Mercedes should keep on eye on this. The look of the interior looks very very familiar, one could think of sitting in an EQE.

[@manyman12]

Great video Miles, the IM stuff looks amazing

[@potter2702]

Great video miles, very exciting times to come, I love my ZSEV MK2 and would defo consider another MG

[@fenegroni]

Excellent video, concise summary, detailed info and engaging 👍

[@peterparker9997]

We definitely live in interesting times with regard to EV technology. The European car manufacturers really need to pull their fingers out of the ICE cars and step up their game with EV offerings or they won't survive into the next decade. Great looking potential MG models.

[@GolLeeMe]

These vehicles have a place, and those who can afford them will most likely buy in. A lot of tech and serious levels of quality materials by the looks of it. I had hoped MG might try a smaller version first (say MG3 size) with a 40kWh battery pack for urban use, as thats where the immediate future seems to be taking us. Where are the budget/bargain EVs? It seems that to be profitable - go large, IMO. The clock is ticking for disrupters. I like the Nio battery swapping capability, and I am assuming this is where SAIC might have an agreement to use those facilities and swapping capability. Every Vid I have seen would suggest it takes about 8-10 minutes to swap out a battery. So, perhaps they have speed up the system somewhat.

[@ChorleyGroup]

MG2 EV is reported to be in development

[@videostarish]

An MG4 Xpower estate,with the solid-state batteries, roof rails, no pano/sunroof, no 'sticky-up/out displays', & NO lane-keep/driver assist! (If you need them, you shouldn't be driving!)... 🤔

[@WonkoTheSaneUK]

Sadly for your fantasy wishlist, lane keeping was invented in 2004, and has been a EuroNCAP requirement since 2018.

[@videostarish]

@@WonkoTheSaneUK Yea...☹️ dang..!

[@shaunwalsh6354]

Yes I would love to see these at an MG dealership, providing the software is greatly improved from my MG4, and over the air updates should be provided.

[@don-qb4xb]

Hard to argue with that. The software on the MG4 is shockingly bad.

[@garyallsopp6369]

​@@don-qb4xbYou should try my Enyaq it's derisory!

[@gordonchallinor9156]

WOW!!!!!

[@ohyesitsme]

Might consider MG if they were built here in the UK.

[@ChorleyGroup]

MG are in negotiations to create a vehicle factory in Europe

[@mikezhang2351]

​@@ChorleyGroupUK is not europe. right?😢

[@ChorleyGroup]

They may build one in UK, that's part of Europe (Continent), but not EU.

[@garyallsopp6369]

They need an EU battery plant and a UK assembly plant. It would help with both heritage and country of origin rules.

[@davidcolin6519]

Highly unlikely to build in the UK, thanks to Brexit. There's a CATL battery plant being built in Hungary IIRC, and an IM/MG plant would almost certainly be built somewhere like that. Considering the instability in Eastern Europe as a result of Putin being a grade 1 turd, I would expect any building work to be on the back burner until that is resolved, or maybe build it somewhere far enough away from Ukraine for that not to be a problem. Moldova perhaps? Maybe Albania? The probles with such a move would be that those countries hardly have any of the infrastucture necessary for automaking.

[@UnderWarranty]

Shame they don't make petrol versions of these cars, people that don't care what powers it will have to pay a lot more for a car just because it is electric.

[@metricstormtrooper]

Chinese being Chinese, saic would have designed for right hand drive right from the start. I'm looking forward to saic to sell the baojun/Wuling Cloud to Australia and they are doing in India. I've got the $ waiting when they do.

[@gohumberto]

Solid State batteries will be game-changing. I have an old Nissan Leaf (30kwhr). I'm hanging on to it for another couple of years , to see where technology takes us. I have a feeling that 300 miles will become a fairly standard range soon.

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

How is the MG9 a hatchback if the panoramic roof goes all the way down to the tailgate? Would be nice if it was as its a great looking car

[@ChorleyGroup]

MG9 is a hatchback - boot opening shown on the excellent Nevo EV Review Ireland video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmW8oYmKgcSisNUsi=Sn46HDQZfz_wLHy9&t=305

[@rtfazeberdee3519]

@@ChorleyGroup thats great, thanks. definitely one to put on the list

[@marvinsamuels1237]

Another really informative video, thank you. These potential models will give potential buyers so much more choice and better value for money too. It's great to see the potential models that could be on sale with a MG badge. Things are getting better all the time.

[@ecoflex]

Yes agree but solar is too expensive over £7000 so pay back is impossible no point changing unless you are in a new build

[@richardrouse358]

As a VW Arteon owner, I really like the idea of the MG 9 as my first EV. My only concern about all the Chinese manufacturers, including MG, is parts availability in the UK, both in terms of maintenance and also because of the impact on insurance groupings.

[@JimT-RCT]

I do worry about all the computer stuff in these cars. I have a 6-year-old PC that was built to the highest specs, and it is now redundant, I can't even load Windows 11 on it now. How are car computers going to work in 15 years time?

[@wintersun398]

Was there a MG4 estate?

[@UKMike2009]

MG/SAIC have come such a long way. I had a "new ZS" for 4 years, but these EV models are on another planet. Attractive designs that should be making the German brands (and Tesla) quake in their shoes.

[@Grant.G.Simpson]

put me down for one of those IML6 please, big battery, 4wd, thanks.

[@metricstormtrooper]

Its funny how brits use mm for measurements but cling to Miles for distance and speed.

[@milanstokrp9387]

Like!

[@davidcolin6519]

I'd be very surprised if they can sell the L9 for that sort of money, more likely closer to 70K-80K. Lovely to see you literally speechless. That L6 would be very tempting at that price, pity it's not a hatchback. I know that the LS6 is a hatch, but it's also a damned SUVnd I simply refuse to go that route. I see that there's still no confirmation of an estate MG4, though it is reputedly going to be a replacement for the current MG5. I'm torn between the estate 4 (reasonably priced) and an MG 9 or even im L6. If the L6 was a hatch, t'd be a no-brainer. Ijust do not understand why everybody who wants to produce a competitor for the model 3 has to produce a saloon, not a hatch, it's baffling. Give me model 3 that is a hatch and nothing to do with Elon Musk, and you've got a sale, currently the only one that does it is the iD5(?), and that is no competition for a model 3 IMO.

[@kangkaizhang7329]

But L6 is actually a hatchback like ModelS

[@davidcolin6519]

@@kangkaizhang7329 My apologies, I was thinking of the L7 which is, I believe, the saloon version of the L6 (but not as pretty IMO). I've not seen any interiors of the L6 as apparently it was not viewable at Geneva. One must hope that it is similar to the L7. I really think that it is astonishing how far the Chinese brands have come in such a short time, and MG just seems to be getting better and better.

[@josephberrie9550]

so can you rock up with a ten year old battery and drive off with a new one or vice versa

[@lluow]

Yeah, so there’s a new way of owning a vehicle. You buy an EV without a battery and then lease the battery from the manufacturer. You’ll always have a fresh battery. A Chinese brand called NEO is experimenting on this.

[@markwilliamson9027]

I think MG need a Renault 5 Fiat 500 ev competitor

[@ChorleyGroup]

MG2 is reportedly on the way...

[@alexanderthompson2684]

I sure love to see these cars come to Britain under the MG badge, they look great!!

[@johncrispin2118]

Thanks nice presentation interesting indeed. My lil’ol MG4 is Michael mouse innit !. What the hell are they up to with a hybrid ??? pandering to the doubters I guess. We Struggled to afford the MG4 SE and these Tesla and Audi beaters well … look great but can’t afford em never will, nor any normal people. Tesla bringing out a sub £25 k model so are they heading in the wrong direction ?

[@ChorleyGroup]

There is a MG2 in the works too!

[@davidcolin6519]

Tesla (or rather Elon Musk) have a very, very long history of promising what the audience want to hear, and then "launching" shockingly late, and not going into production for even longer. The CyberTruck was "Launched" in 2017 (I believe) and they only started deliveries this year, and even then the prices are way, way more than they were originally quoting, and much of the hype surrounding the specs on it was quietly forgotten. Elon Musk/Tesla seem to be the automotive equivalent of The Tory party.

[@xenasloan6859]

maybe let us see it for a bit longer rather than looking at you?

[@petergreene1903]

Anything on towing capacity for the new MGs for those of us that tow caravans? The longer range batteries make them an attractive option when towing, but we need to see braked towing capacities, hopefully 1600 kg plus. Thanks.

[@Tim_Kent]

The interior of the Roewe F7 fastback looks luxurious, rather like a Rover. Did the Rover brand end up being owned by Jaguar Landrover?

[@ChorleyGroup]

No, the Rover brand was sold off to a Chinese firm, which ended up being called Roewe, and later part of SAIC.

[@eamoneejit7482]

@@ChorleyGroupI think he means the rights to the brand name “Rover” which is indeed owned by JLR, to ensure the continued use of their Land-Rover name. Can’t remember if it had been retained by BMW or Ford though, but whichever sold it on.

BMW then Ford, now Jaguar-Land-Rover.

[@balkanleopard9728]

It seems that MG may be straying away from its core concept of good fun, lower priced motoring - but if they can get the right spread of value for money quality products at different price points it would make them a real force. Five metres long is a bit too long though in my book (or garage).

[@simonwhitcombe841]

They need to be £30k or below

[@garyallsopp6369]

Not a fan of the IM look; a bit bland, dated and doesn't fit with the current MG styling and are in danger of confusing the brand identity. Spec looks awesome though - Maybe they should think about using one of the other British brands SAIC owns; Austin, Morris, Wolesly or Vanden Plas perhaps.

Never forget that MG stands for Morris Garages with it's heritage in Cowley, England. SAIC, made false promises to to the British motor industry. They promised to invest, yet they took the British brands back to China and shut down motor manufacturing in the UK. Go snd look, longbridge snd cowley are housing estates. Do t buy them. They are dining out on a British brand and British jobs.

[@user-uw6mb7eh8i]

This car is very competitive, but it doesn‘t sell well, cuz SAIC is trying to build a new brand called Rising Auto, Its market position is lower than IM but higher than ROEWE , the MG 9 in China has been named FEIFAN F7 since 2023. China have so many great EVs. Handling another 2 new EV brands (I mean Rising Auto & IM, neither of them are extremely low-price ) ? HA, SAIC is too confident. Hope the Europe market will save this car, cuz I really like this sedan. My last car is BYD Han, I was ready to buy MG 9 (F7) in 2023. Because of the Rising Auto brand's bad market performance ,I bought a GEELY Galaxy E8 this year. Again, this car is good, though.
