Excellent reviews, really enjoy the fact that we get to see a review of cars that are coming to the UK in the future (in a different badge) Haven't seen anything from you in the last couple of months, hope you will be reviewing more affordable EVs soon. Keep up the great reviews
Do these car suffer from chassis rust issues in China, they are releasing a MG badged version in the UK and there seems to be an issue of rust on the petrol version of this car, this would make a good subject for a video if you could get one on a ramp and film underneath
On the model I drove, no. On the latest models and the Marvel X model, they are starting to have some basic automonous driving features, but nothing on the scale of Tesla.
@@electricelliotrichards Heard the drive has improved from the ERX5. But I am more interested in how the current crop of Chinese PHEV/BEVs compare: Wey P8 Lynk & Co. Geely Borui GE BYD Qin Pro BYD Tang DM Edition NiO ES8 Each generation of Chinese cars is vastly different from the ones that came before that it is impossible to judge the new model from the previous model
Not a huge fan of electric vehicles, mostly because of the cost and limited range. That being said this could make a great second car for most US households.
It's not a MG ZS EV. it looks similar, the MG does have rear centre headrest, the infotainment screen is different, the rear quarter windows are different and the battery range is different.
It would drive me absolutely bat-shit crazy to deal with a car that keeps spouting nonsense Mandarin phrases at you like that and plasters the screen with Chinese text. If it comes to the retail market in the EU or UK, they *need* to make it so it doesn't keep pushing Chinese on you. It needs to be as well accustomed to the western market as it is marketed.
For export, I'm confident they'll tackle that problem. My guess is that the verbal instructions were comments on the acceleration and the reality that that might limit your range.
"It's not terrible..." should be a universal Chinese product slogan. The problem with Chinese cars, besides "not being terrible" (but not being that great either) is related to safety/emissions and getting it road legal in the USA (and probably pretty much any modern country that has a lot of road regulations). By the time you jump through all the hoops to get the vehicle legal for the road, the price is no longer reasonable.
New chinese EV’s will be much better than older design ICE’s including but not limited to safety. It won’t be long before chinese manufacturers will push especially Europe. SIAC, JAG, MG, AIWAYS and some more just starting to do that right now.
Obviously, no issue with emissions for an EV. It shouldn't be that difficult to meet safety standards. The cars have lots of air bags (driver, passenger, side) and most cars now have crumple zones.
At last review in english. Looking forward for more vedios. Please do a review on yudo pi 1 and pi 3
Thanks! Will try and get into a Yudo - I have seen there is a dealership near me.

Keep up the great reviews
Thanks EV Guy! More reviews are pending, got some exciting (and odd) cars lined up!
Love the review! So glad there is an English review! Thank you! Does it support Apple CarPlay?
Unfortunately not
The MG ZS EV is now on sale in the UK for £24,000.
Even iPace owners are impressed as commented on in a recent video.
sub! hope you make more video about chinese car. or ev scooter / ev bike etc
Thanks, I have a new one coming in a few hours from now - its a special one!
As an EV investor on nio and tesla can you do a video on EV demand in china please. What do people think of tesla? Do you see nio cars in the road?
How do u charge it

yes it does / /not best for rusty areas.
Does anyone know availability in the US? since they were recently approved to sell in the US? Please upload more car reviews. Very much appreaciated.
Thanks for the feedback! For the US, I imagine it will either be 2019 or 2020 latest - this is when most of the manufacturers are coming to the US.
Is this retail price to buy the car from the shop or as a Alibaba car dealer?
If that makes sense.
From the shop directly.
@chinadriver are there any autonomous driving features ?
On the model I drove, no. On the latest models and the Marvel X model, they are starting to have some basic automonous driving features, but nothing on the scale of Tesla.
@@electricelliotrichards thank you very much :)
Wonder how it compares with the Marvel X
Yes, I wonder this too - I can't see it being too much different from a driving perspective - hopefully can test one soon!
@@electricelliotrichards Heard the drive has improved from the ERX5.
But I am more interested in how the current crop of Chinese PHEV/BEVs compare:
Wey P8
Lynk & Co.
Geely Borui GE
BYD Qin Pro
BYD Tang DM Edition
NiO ES8
Each generation of Chinese cars is vastly different from the ones that came before that it is impossible to judge the new model from the previous model
Marvel X hugely better
Can you delieve they copied acar from another countery ?
Well it does haveva differrnt bade MG HS ev and phev sold in india and uk from October

Can you put the entire OS system into English?
Not at the moment.
The center LCD looks inspired (cough cough) from TESLA?
it looks nothing like tesla, personal i would rather get this car rather than a model X
the price is like 5 times cheaper
Who cares?
Butnyou have the mgzs ev it been out nesrly 2 year
Imagine if Tesla made a car for less then 30,000
They’re
It's an MG ZS EV with a different name.
It's not a MG ZS EV. it looks similar, the MG does have rear centre headrest, the infotainment screen is different, the rear quarter windows are different and the battery range is different.

I think that would all be part of the package if shipping overseas. Its mostly the sat-nav system - which you can switch off.
