Apparently build quality and attention to detail is a step above other MG models. Don't know if they will sell many at that price, but obviously time will tell
lol well shit, they'd want to be for 100-130k
It definitely looks cool, and as a niche product to show what they're capable of it's a good idea.
Would I spend 120k on one? No.
I can't imagine many selling in Aus, but I also expect they are well aware of this and don't expect to sell them by the thousands.
Yes, it's offensive to say "Since 1924" given these have nothing to do with actual MGs.
It looks ok to be fair but why would you buy a Chinese EV instead of a Boxster or something? It would be pretty embarrassing showing up somewhere in that, and the resale would be non-existent.
Not on your life.
They use London designers . And keep a lot of heritage. But thank God they are not like 60s MGs.
3.2 seconds is fast, but consider that it's twice the price of a BYD Seal Performance which has a 3.8 second 0-100.
There is a big difference between 3.2/3.8 seconds
@@madrx2For how many people does it make that much difference to though? The fact is you can carry 4, or 5 in a pinch, in the seal and it’s half the price. 🤔 I drive more than I’d say 95% of the population at 150,000 - 200,000ks a year, and there’s not a lot of the time I can utilize the 0-100 in my car which is 4.9 seconds. 🤔
@@madrx2and I’d like to add that I rented a byd seal Performance on Turo at the start of the year for a week when I was on the central coast. I got to launch it maybe 3 times and two of those times I broke the law to get to that speed…so not really much of a use case for most
Cancelled my new Porsche 718 ordered Cyberster saved a fortune and will get far far better performance. Waiting for delivery 12 to 16 weeks
yes you should do a test pitching it against any other in the same price range
It's much cooler than the 100k Kia/Hyundai EV
Looks very nice.
As much as I like the look of it, if I had that sort of coin to spend, I'd probably spend it on a more established brand and wait to see how the MG resale holds up against the others.
MG have been here since 2006. And they have a London design bureau from the Rover days. The comparisons with Hyundai couldn't be more wrong.
Being Chinese does it look like other manufactures ?
"2023 Volkswagen Golf GTI specifications:"?????
In the description, by mistake.
Sorry about that. I was rushing getting this one out - MG gave us less than 24hrs for the embargo. Fixed.
Will it be functional in 10 years? More e-waste from China. It does look good though
Your crystal ball getting a workout.
Nope most likely not
Great hero model, this will elevate the brand even higher. A huge win (again ) for the Chinese.
I would buy a R35 GT-R
No amount of acceleration or speed can make up for the fact that: (1) it is a Chinese government owned brand, and every dollar of profit props up an odious regime and (2) The depth of engineering will be at the usual level. Good enough to pass the first inspection - insufferable to own.
Well said
Except wrong. People love owning the "usual" level of engineering. Which is better quality than legacy brands. Get out more.
@@MikeJones-mz5ig Yes, they love the phantom braking, cars reversing by themselves, and the buggy AF HMI
@@jimmyp1433 they do, because safety systems are across all cars
Truth is while you may care about the politics behind it, very little do. The whole country loves buying things off Temu, and most retail items are made in China anyway. Bang for buck is all the significant majority care about, Australians have better things to do than worry about affairs overseas which is to worry about their family budget.
Quality is manufacturer dependent, I’d trust BYD over MG, just as I would trust Toyota over Nissan, it’s more to do with the company than a massive nation.
Nice try no where near 3.2 real world 0 to 100 3.4 ,3.5.
I wouldn't buy a $20k MG, so they have no chance I'd buy one that costs $120k
@@somat111 Lol
Wouldn’t spend that much on a car, let alone a cheap Chinese car.
Looks great, but under the skin , not so much.. Same old MSP platform , ordinary brakes . Might as well buy something with some substance for that sort of $
Chinese 👍👍👍👍
Who gives a shit if it's up the top %96.00 ..
