Quality :
It may fit into someone's budget. May not be like by all. Like everything else, it has its pros and cons.

Warranty:

MG has introduced the longest factory warranty ever offered by a new-car maker in Australia – 10 years or 250,000km, whichever comes first.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.

Value for Money
Car is depreciating assets unless someone wants to go back to Covid era

Range Anxiety
Many in city, may be fine with 300 km for week usage. May be their secondary vehicle. So it has its own market.

  • That's less than half of what I paid for my MY last year. This was I think over $55k at the time.

    • +2

      That must hurt but ev prices were always going to start high and as adoption, production and competition increases. The prices were always going to go down to match ice cars.

      If you bought at $55k, you had the money at the time and wanted it at the time and got to enjoy ev life, petrol savings, service savings and generally enjoying the car for a whole year.. Nothing to feel bad about

  • Dad keeps banging on about this car, so good discount. Would go byd or small honda instead personally.

  • Qld gov rebate should still apply here ($6000). That is an indnae price with the rebate too. I think some other states have rebates too.

    • +2

      So, should I buy interstate and drive it to Melbourne?

      • do you have a QLD address?

  • -1

    if a car company can easily slash 10k from the price, does this not make you concerned about quality ?

    • +2

      No.

      It's not a new lower cost product. It's an existing product with a price reduction.

      All cars have huge margins.

    • +8

      Bags of chips go half price on sale regularly. Does that make you concerned about their quality?

    • just means they're milking consumers

  • Phone is fine?

  • How do you take the offer and do test drive?
    The send enquiry button doesn't seem to work.

  • +3

    So the dumping has started - as predicted.

  • Hopefully not a stupid question but is there a fair chance the warranty will outlast the battery?

    • These things run Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) batteries, which are much longer lasting than the NCA and NMC batteries (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium_iron_phosphate_battery…) you find in longer range EVs (including the MG ZS EV LR model in this range). Also quite a bit less…fire inclined, something that's massively overblown anyway.

    Think they are dumping stock ready for announcing the replacement model the MG S5

    • +1

      Runout sales are nothing new.

  • Surely home battery prices are going to use these batteries and become a. cheap b. larger.

  • These guys are just nuts. Why in the world would you ever price an EV this low??!!! It's literally begging for US style tariffs to be applied.

    • the US is already tariffing anything chinese anyway, it's effectively an embargo at the ridiculous rates they put up.

      australia is different, we have no domestic car industry to protect, which is good for us the consumers

      • Australia will eventually follow the US, so reducing prices like this is definately not a good look and simply asking for trouble. And we already have a semi car manufacturing industry back up converting left to right hand drive trucks.

        • +4

          doubtful, as I said, we have no domestic industry to protect so it makes no economic sense, and there will be significant repercussions politically - think farmers that suffered during the last trade war. it's a political lose lose situation. the only possible way for that is being strongarmed by the US to do so due to geopolitics in event of something catastrophic like a regional armed conflict but this is very unlikely

    • +2

      Countries only apply tariffs to protect home industries, something we haven't had in the automotive sector since 2020.

      From a government perspective this would only serve to accelerate the adoption of EVs, so they're not going to stand in the way of that.

    Should be illegal to sell cars here without a spare wheel

    • +2

      why? plenty of cars are without spare wheels nowadays. most people drive this car as a city get around, and half of them don't know how to change a wheel without calling Roadside assist

  • +1

    even if your resell value is 0 if you NL this car the yearly ownership cost after 10years would be sub 2k

  • Need some advice here please. Shall I sell my 2019 CX 5 and buy this? I live in QLD and living in an apartment with free charger (well as tenant). Thanks.

    • cx 5 is a great car

    • If the car meets your requirements, couldn't see why not.

    • Yes, you need to buy this car, you've already decided in your mind, don't miss out!

  • +2

    I excite!

  • +2

    Great win for everyone on the 10 year warranty. This will put pressure on the other car markers to step up their game

  • MY23 model ?
    have these been sitting in the back lot for 12 months?

    • Model Years usually go mid-year to mid-year right? So I assume it's between mid-2023 and mid-2024

  • I keep getting tempted to buy an EV but then remember I only really drive about 5000km a year and cant justify spending the money.

  • New one coming out soon

  • Excite, yep it will when it faulty and gives you electric shocks

    • Is it better to be electric shocked or get bit by a shark? One of the greatest questions ever asked.

  • Computers used to cost 100's of thousands of dollars and were as big as a room. Now they're a few hundred dollars and fit in your hand

    The first people who bought computers were suckers and should have waited.

    • The first to buy anything is usually rich people. Yea they're suckers but I don't think the amount was anything significant for them

    • Considering the computer could process calculations faster per second than 100's of people on $1000 salaries in a single day. I think the first people who bought them were pretty happy with their purchases.

  • +1

    I think this car comes with a free home charger.
