Whoever is looking to buy an MG car this is going to be one more reason to support their decision from today.

The following is quoted from https://www.drive.com.au/news/mg-australia-10-year-warranty-…

New cars sold by MG in Australia are now covered by 10 years or 250,000km of factory warranty coverage – the longest of any brand.

While MG’s new 10-year warranty is longer in time – compared to its previous seven-year offer – it now has a distance cap of 250,000km, rather than unlimited.

In effect from today (1 August 2024) for all newly-registered petrol, hybrid and electric MG models, the new warranty applies to vehicles not deemed to be "commercial use" – such as Ubers, taxis, food delivery couriers and driving schools.

Vehicles considered to be "commercial use" retain their previous seven-year/160,000km coverage. It is common for car brands to offer a shorter warranty distance limit on vehicles used for these purposes, but it is rare for the time cap to also be reduced.

    OK that's quite impressive. I am assuming it doesn't cover batteries for the EV's?

        It doesn't specify. On MG's website (which isn't updated yet, still says 7 years), they split out vehicle warranty, anti-perforation warranty and battery warranty. The articles say the vehicle warranty is 10 years, anti-perforation is 7 but there's no mention of battery.

    • Gorian4 on 01/08/2024 - 13:11

      Considering their previous battery warranty was 7 years & unlimited km (for private use). I would say it definitely includes the batteries in this new 10 year warranty.

            +6

            @MasterScythe: I couldn't care less. I even looked at an MG electric and decided against it as the resale value was not looking good. The point made was that MG had shitty build quality, so it is a good thing they were bought, and that shitty build quality is why they went bankrupt. I was just saying they were bought by someone with shitty build quality that only didn't go bankrupt as it was funded by the Chinese government, so there is no default that it is better.

            I drove an LDV90 for a month and while it looked good on paper, it was a piece of shit. Panel gaps sucked, interior didn't align nicely, it made stupid noises all the time, things just didn't work as desired. I swapped it out for a Hybrid Kluger which I had for 10 months and it was night and day.

            • MasterScythe on 01/08/2024 - 23:28

              @greennick: Sorry, i misunderstood your point.

              I ran with the "moneypit" description, which I expected would be lessened by the warranty, thats all.

          The Japanese in the 60s had the same reputation, they were industrious and hard working and solved the issue.

      FWIW worth John Cadogan said a couple of years back that he hears very few unresolved warranty problems with these.
      I get the feeling, reading between the lines that he doesn't particularly like them but they are not shirking after sales responsibilities.
      This is pretty much the path Hyundai took when they entered the Au market.

      I’d consider buying an MG (or a BYD, or literally any Chinese EV) (used, of course, just to make sure there is no warranty left to void) just to change out the computers inside so that it runs Android Automotive on something like an RK3588.

          USA-China war is as unlikely as a USA-Russia war. The smaller countries will get squeezed to act as proxies (e.g. Israel-Palestine or Ukraine-Russia). Chances of Australia being at war with China is miniscule. It's easier and cheaper for them to just buy up our farmland and lease our ports, which Australia willingly allows.

        +2

        Gutless little thing, the reverse camera is very hit and miss (I use the mirrors more anyway), and the lack of a CD player is definitely a bummer. But otherwise yeah, does the job. Deceptively large amount of space in there when you fold the seats down, have managed to fill it (with moving bags, mind you) full of mulch a couple times and done up most of the whole back yard. And with the seats down it actually was better for somethings than the previous car (08 Commodore), picked up a giant ride on anamatronic dinosaur thing off Marketplace for the kiddo, slid right in the back through the tailgate, no way in hell that would have fit through the Commo's doors.

        Anyway, yeah, it's good. It's cheap and it shows. Having no digital speedo is a bit poo but whatever. The headlights, also pretty shit. Beyond that though, it gets up to speed and maintains it happily, so highway driving at 150k the speed limit of 110 is perfectly enjoyable, just takes a couple extra precious seconds than everyone else to hit the speed.

        Do a lot of back and forth for family / work stuff. In the average fortnight there'd be at least 1000k driven just on that. Casual day to day real life stuff outside of that, sod all comparatively. But yeah, 50k a year would be a bit under what I'd expect to do, did the same in the Commo before it finally carked it. To be fair, we moved about 100 odd k's out toward regional a couple years ago, of course, buying a house outright at 370k with 4 beds, 2 bath, 2 kitchen, and so on, instead of paying about six or seven hundred for half that where we were living, was enough of a motivator to say (profanity) it to the fuel cost.
