I have a MG4, drive a Toyota RAV hybrid for work, I am very happy with the MG the running cost still long way cheaper to run than the RAV ( get about 5.5 Kl per 100Kl )
this AU$30,990 driveaway is not a set in stone price, you can go to your MG dealership and meet the infamous ‘sales- manager’ and you can negotiate the price down further. AU$26,990 driveaway for a brand new MG4 51 should be do’able if one is an above average negotiator
Would be great if you could get that price. As I said in the video I have seen it for around the $27,000 mark and that was probably from dealerships trying to offload their cars possibly before a new model comes out
The key for me is that MG is setting the pace for price. Others can only follow and that is a great thing. Hopefully a few more will wake up and start offering lighter and cheaper EV's.
Today I'd have bought it! I almost did a year ago. Excellent vehicle. I was after an MG4 long-range 77, and the battery in it was not LFP. And for that fact, I didn't buy it. LFP for me is the must-have. Today I have it in my Seal. Buyers in AU now -- are spoiled for choice. Greetings Nigel.
@@grumpyoldmanandhisev it really depends on whether the Chinese government subsidies are going to continue, plus their business model making money or not. Currently, they are losing money per car sold without the subsidies. It is not entirely about survival. It is about whether they can turn it into profit. if they can't and the Chinese government cutting the subsidies, they will likely just fold it.
@@jeremysun7365might wanna look up who runs MG, SAIC ain’t going no where, they are one of chinas big 4 SOE, build and sells 5 million vehicles annually.
I think the new 10 year warranty has a 160,000klm limit, no longer unlimited. I love my Excite 51 bought 12 months ago, travelled 53,000klm trouble free motoring.
Did Nissan also slash the leaf pricing in Australia? In NZ they took $32000 off it (now $30000). Anyway, I don't have an EV yet so its interesting to see the prices falling like crazy
New model electric cars are coming to the Australian market next year. These new brands will have more range, faster charging speeds, etc. Prices will drop even further.

I think it's priced low for a reason. MG4 really does not compare well to many of the other options appearing now. It's really a full generation of technology behind

10 Year warranty is good on paper as long as MG the brand survives in Australia for 10 years.
True but they are owned by a large Chinese company so I have every expectation they will survive

I love the look of MG4. It's a shame that its base model with LFP batt doesn't have 360° cam.
I'll give this a like and a sub. Very grumpy.

Just checked and its 250,000km warranty or 10 years. Still bloody good
Insane value
MG4 77 is good for long range country driving.
not unless you got a tow bar and a diesel generator

According to the Australian Nissan website the Leaf is $39,990 for the 39kWh battery and $49,990 for the 59kWh version
Fantastic news.
