          I mean technically the XV is a CUV, but for some weird reason CUVs get thrown into the SUV category? Honestly to me it’s just short form for hatchback with long legs and an eating problem.

      The specified ground clearance on this MG is 155mm. A Mazda 3 has ground clearance of 150 mm. It's literally just a bunch of black plastic stuck on around the wheels to make it look all "tough" and too cool for school.

        Well it's not. Go to China and try starting a business with CCP approval. That is not Capitalism. The current situation is certainly freer than the full-on Communism they used to have under Mao which murdered tens of millions of people, but it's still not a free market.

      Definitely worth the test drive. IMHO the ZST Excite is the pick it's got the 1.3 turbo motor but no sunroof like the Essence which is top of the range.

      When I drove the Essence the heat radiating through the sunroof I couldn't live with. And the 1.5L non-turbo in the lower models isn't as good.

      • Amstar on 09/02/2025 - 09:32

      I had the same dilemma 18 months ago. Brand new car with a 7 year warranty vs a used Toyota. Decided on a Haval Jolion.

      The one issue is I had to replace the battery already, which is a common problem, and the safety stuff beeps at me all the time.

      45,000kms so far and love it still. Plan to keep it for a long time.

      • Amstar on 09/02/2025 - 09:50

          The cheapest! I went in there haggling hard saying it's between this and a Hyundai Venue manual which was a few grand less, and they gave it me eventually.

          I'd like the 360 camera, but the goal was to buy realiable transportation with a long warranty for as little money as possible.

    Chery Tiggo 4 Pro Urban edition is probably better buy at $24000. Get more equipment. 5 star Ancap rating with Chery over 4 star with the MG.

    Chery also has turbo engine that has more grunt.

    Good thing about the MG ZST is they all have 360 degree cameras. What I now consider an essential item. Now after getting it in one of our current cars

    Personally would spend $27000 and buy the Chery Tiggo 4 pro Ultra Ultlimate model

      100% agree. Had a look at one in person the other day. The interior of the Tiggo 4 Pro looks 'premium'. The marketing photos don't actually do it justice for the price of the car. The 360 camera on the 27K model isn't just a regular 360 camera, the camera quality for both the reverse and 360 actually seems very high resolution??? like up there with the Teslas. I was surprised by it.

      Chery Tiggo 4 has not yet been tested and rated for ANCAP. You're misinformed if that's what a chery dealer has told you.

      • justgooddeals on 06/02/2025 - 18:24

        Damn ya you’re right. Salesman said Tiggo 4 pro would probably get 5 star rating as the Tiggo 4 pro uses same chassis as Chery Omoda 5 which does have 5 star rating . Checked and information about sharing same chassis (as omoda 5) and underpinnings is correct.

        That’s where I got confused

          Now if he was talking about an old 1993- 2005 kia sportage, or any suzuki jimny, he'd be right.
          Anything else similar to these do NOT have a chassis.

      I have the Chery Tiggo 4 Ultimate. I had it since December. Only new but I'm loving it so far. I travel approx 100km a day.

      It had it's first service at 1000km and I've done 3500km so far. Some people find the steering a bit sensitive/soft but you get used to it. I prefer it actually.

      Only time will tell if there will be ongoing issues. The only thing I find uncomfortable is the centre console. It rubs against my legs when I drive. I'm tall so maybe that's why.

      I traded my Mercedes GLA 180 for the Chery. The Mercedes was costing me too much money for servicing and parts plus just to change plugs and ignition coils was over $1k.

    Such low price what you expect, car has all main average features, but people complaining about car has no power or it's materials are low quality, it's using same as most average common parts/features like Toyota cars.

    you should only concerned it's safety features an maybe fuel consumption, people now days find anything to complain, if you do not like it don't buy it no body is forcing you, want something little better pay a little more.

          That’s bit difficult. Cause most the more modern Chinese cars been here less than 10 years. But I don’t think they would give 7 or 10 year warranties if your comments were accurate.

          Only problem she said she had was the steering wheel peeling and seat belt issues. Also something do with power steering . Both replaced or fixed under warranty

                    You can't sell it to Redbook, the valuation is based on age not sales.

                        @justgooddeals: Well I did get 8k for my 14 year old swift so anything is possible, it was 15k new. Had 120km on the clock never skipped a beat on oil changes. Only work done was rear wheel bearings after 100km which was the fault of the shipping company who strapped them down to tightly that year as it's a common problem.

                        Had zero rust, and will probably go another 200km if it's looked after.

                        My Toyota RAV4 will do 300km easy.

                        Parts are easy to find if there is a problem, plenty of spares in the scraper too if needed.

                        Any popular Japanese car will have a much higher resale value, be easier to maintain, easier to find parts, easier for mechanics to work on, and obviously last at least twice as long.

                        European/German cars are expensive to maintain, expensive for parts, expensive to work on.

                        American cars are hit and miss.

                        Korean have gotten better and are starting to compete with Japanese but still have a long way to go when it comes to longevity.

                        Chinese really haven't proven themselves in any car market.

                        Guess who the leader of the most unreliable car is in the UK.

          Find me a Chinese car with 250km on the clock or one that's 10 years old..

          My MG 4 is not 10 years old but it has more than 3000 km on it so what is your point ?

            @z28: It's not even 2 years old. EVs are a different game tho, a lot less can go wrong with them. I know nothing other than all EVs won't last longer than 10 years without a battery replacement which will generally write off the vehicle.

            @z28: I think he means 300,000km not 3000km…. :)

            I will do 3000km in one month sometimes… HAHA.

              @Naigrabzo: Exactly, it's the reason I reply to his post and he still didn't get it.

    Ozbargain: Buy a cheap car they'll get you from point A to point B. Don't need anything fancy!

    Also Ozbargain: Omg you can't buy cheap Chinese cars their performance is so bad and the material is terrible! Buy a Toyota, it's more expensive and has less features… But Toyota.

      Older Toyotas are the best bargain, short and long term. Anything pre COVID anyway

    I still think GWM is a better brand than MG
