      How many vehicles are in China? As of the end of June 2023, it is estimated that there are 420 million vehicles (including trucks) in China. Until 2020, the United States has held the top spot in terms of the number of vehicles, but China has now surpassed it and stands as the world's leader in the number of vehicles.19 Dec 2023

      You have no idea what's coming to Legacy automakers!
      They are lowering the prices not because they can't sell them but because they are more interested in taking market share from legacy auto.
      The price of Lithium battery's has come don't so much that they can afford to lower the price as well.
      Most of legacy auto are now buying Chinese auto tech because they can't compete in technology and efficiency.
      Just look at a Chinese auto shown!

        These are MY23. They absolutely are lowering the prices because they've been sitting in a warehouse for a year and weren't selling. $8k is less than the depreciation on a 12 month old EV.

            @jackary: When MG gives you the option of buying an MY23 for one price, or a MY24 for more $, they absolutely are >1yr old year cars. It's a $25k car they put a big motor in, but in 95% of your driving its still a $25k car. The speed novelty wears off after a bit.

            @jackary: MY doesn't equal build date, but it is an indicator of age. Generally MY will launch the prior year, be built out in the new year and repeat for the following year. It's rare for a supposedly in-demand vehicle that launched in 2023 to still have stock this late into the cycle.

            It's also no secret that MG's 2024 sales are down badly, with the last 3 consecutive months of sales down >20% on last year, following an already disappointing H1. That comes at a time when the Chinese competition are raking in sales - in part from MG, it seems.

            If you think they're not struggling to move stock, I've got a bridge to sell you.

        Legacy is booming, while eletric isn’t. That is the reality. They are reducing the price because they can’t push the vehicle out. You don’t see legacy cars reducing their price.

        If legacy want to take back the market share they are capable of reducing their price to pre Covid level.

      They aren't 'demanding' anything. They are 'supplying' a vehicle at a price, and if there is 'demand' for it at that price, they will sell it.

        It does get updated - eventually, but you only get it when at a service which happens every 2 years. Unless it's a safety issue or you pay the dealer to do it.

        • serpserpserp on 01/10/2024 - 19:33

          Can't download it and update the car yourself somehow?

          • wfdTamar on 02/10/2024 - 18:37

            @serpserpserp: Not that I've heard.

            BTW I test drove a Tesla Y (base spec) and Polestar 2 (top spec) today. Both very good and I will consider either. There are quite a few used Polestars on Carsales. I'm guessing ex rental or ex leased. Even in basic form I think they'd be pretty good.

            • serpserpserp on 02/10/2024 - 20:40

              @wfdTamar: I have driven both those cars, but not quite the top spec Polestar. Both are good cars, but I just find the Tesla's a bit basic on the interior. The Polestar is nice, but it is way overpriced and is an EV trapped in an ICE body. The middle console cramping the room for the left leg while you drive is a deal breaker. I've done a few long trips in them and I wouldn't buy one for that reason alone.

      It’s news.com.au so they’re doing the usual xenophobia “OMG china” angle so I stopped reading pretty fast.

      There are at least two legit issues right now:

      The manufacturer can communicate with the car (just like Tesla, Toyota, etc) and you won’t know. This means they can collect your data, send updates without a dealership, etc. Your linked phone is likely safe (for now) but car data is visible.

      The US is moving to block car software updates in Chinese cars. There’s a minor security angle to this (5g core network was a much bigger potential issue) but this seems to be more “slow china down while our manufacturers catch up”. Terrible for competition, but if most US manufacturers go bankrupt in 5-10 years, there won’t be much competition left.

          0-100 is 3.8 or some shit

          quarters in 12 secs, terminal 115mph or so

          that's similar-ish power to a Mustang or that kind of thing

          the R35 GTR is unfortunately in another league 11 secs, 125mph

            @ps5amateur: Powerbands… its not like the hoon "race" went over 200km/h on a public road.. probably off the lights up to ~80km/h at best. EV instant torque will always win.

            In fact I took my Atto3 for a lap at willowbank not knowing about its speed limit.. quick off the line and powering out of a bend… until I realised on a long straight its speed limited to 170km/h and eventually getting overtaken on the stretch by Golf R32… and that's after I found out reading in the manual AFTer the lap.

            People don't understand the difference between "Quick" (Acceleration) and "Fast" (Top Speed).

            EVs are quick cars because of instant torque acceleration, most of them aren't fast because of their lower speed limits (because they have single speed reduction gears direct drive off the ev motor and have an rpm limit). You could beat an RS3 maybe up to 100km/h, but watch it walk all the way to and past 200km/h.

            MG4 X-Power top speed is 200km/h, may always get there first on petty road hoons.. it ain't gonna win on a long track, but would be awesome in gymkhana or hill climb.

            I'm surprised not more EV owners get a race license and hit up the track on race test days.. you get a timeslip on drag or track, you've raced everyone

            • ps5amateur on 02/10/2024 - 12:35

              @dsp26: My point was you wouldn't beat an RS3 in an Excite 64 (the EV laser mentioned) over any more than maybe 20 metres. Agreed regarding the XPOWER - would be hard to lose the traffic light GP in one!

      I have a general MG4 question:
      Do you find the interior cramped for space? What car did you have previously?
      Personally cannot decide whether to go for it or not - the cabin felt a bit small but I might get used to it (maybe)

      • wfdTamar on 01/10/2024 - 18:35
        +1

        I test drove an XPower and a 77 the other day. The XPower made me feel sick it's so stupid fast (even the 77 did a bit). I found the interior a bit claustrophobic with that black headlining (my current car has a light headlining and a sunroof too).

        The ergonomics didn't quite work for me, but only a minor thing. If I put the steering wheel where it was most comfortable it blocked the display a bit. If the display was mounted on the steering wheel binnacle it would work better. Headrest was a bit too far forward, but someone said you can reverse it,

      • laser on 01/10/2024 - 18:36

        I find it quite roomy, especially the back seats which one expects to be small in a hatch. It can take 3 in the back seat looks like. Front seats are nice and comfy.
        It didn't replace a car. I still drive a MB C200, a Patrol and a 370z

      • Ruddaga on 01/10/2024 - 19:43

        There is plenty of room inside. Since you have no engine, I usually have my front seats fully back and the people in the back still have room.

        The regular MG4 i feel handled better when I jad it as a loan car for a few days. It was a really fun hatch you could throw around corners and the RWD brought a whole new dimension to the hot hatch experience.You can really feel the weight difference from the xpower

          I just found it a little disappointing when I drove it.. felt really "doughy" around the corners and stuff. Mind you, I do come from an i30N so in N mode, it's as stiff as it gets around the corner so it comes out very nicely without any over/under steer.

          Not a fan of the interior though.. I was going to get the BYD Seal Performance mainly because the interior is night and day difference.

            @bchliu: i would agree largely with this

            clearly the MG4 has the worst interior out of this group

            but you can live with that at the $30k mark

            also if you come from any larger car like a RAV4 then the interior size and amenities will be lacking

            its a hatch

            i also have quibbles about how OTA is missing and the usual servicing issues with any of the new upstart dealers

            you know they are going to be running defence for the brand

            @bchliu: Its meant to be a nice comfortable daily driver. You can put stiffer springs if you want better cornering and taller tyres. MG Australia did this to one of the XPowers.

    Probably the best kW/$ car money can buy at the moment.

    Not all batteries are the same and this thing is the equivalent of using those no name reject shop batteries that can't supply enough voltage when new let alone last more than 5 minutes to power a torch.

    Don't take my word for it. Ask MG owners how their budget EV purchase is going. Like real people, not MG sales people online sock puppeting.

      Oh really? Where do you get your data for this statement?

          I am real. Battery is fine.

      So Mg's 10 year warranty is worth nothing then?

    • Lit Homie on 01/10/2024 - 18:50

      Lmao, upvoted as your opinion shouldn't be downvoted but replying as i just did some quick google and seems MG 4 owners especially are very hapy with their purchase. MG review. Overall sentiment is good.

      I also did some more googling and it seems MG has made some very bad ICE cars that are unreliable but their EV's appear to be quite exceptional

      What’s with the brain dead comments in this thread? The batteries are made by CATL. They’re fine.

      These use CATL batteries, the same company that manufactures batteries for (in some models) Tesla, BMW, Hyundai and many others. They're the largest battery manufacturer in the world.

      Whether or not they're spec'd correctly for the power draw is a different matter, but quality wise I'm sure they're just fine.

    R34's and Lamborghini's are cars for drivers,and that the MG can go from 0-100km/hr.in 3.8seconds in a street race is irrelevant as well as illegal.MG has also got some balls to advertise "100 years".

      Are you trying to make a point here or are you just saying things?

      People say this and then get behind the wheel of a base model Toyota.

    • ChickenAdobo on 01/10/2024 - 18:39

      Are those r34 and lambo 50k sticker price?

    • SupeNintendoChalmers on 01/10/2024 - 18:43

      GM went bust in 2009. What's your point?

  • TEER3X on 01/10/2024 - 18:32

    0-100 km/h acceleration: 3.8 seconds

    Almost as fast as a Hellcat, that's some serious acceleration!

      The XPOWER will beat the hellcat because of the instant torque
