I'm not a fan of the chinese MG. It's like waking from a nightmare where by mgrover gets sold off piecemeal and you wake up to find a chinese MG parked outside. With MG not being British owned I'd rather it disappeared. It's a chinese cat with an MG badge. Bit like an Audi with a ford badge.
Some people seem to be very much against these new electrical cars. I’m not one of them, I don’t understand why people get so excitable about something they don’t have to buy if they don’t want to. Do these people get upset about prawn cocktail crisps or Dr Pepper? People are odd. Anyway, at the moment an electric car is not for me because they’re expensive, I don’t have electricity in my garage and I don’t use a car for short urban trips which is where the electrical car makes the most sense. And another big reason is I don’t really like a car full of screens at the expense of buttons and dials. My car has a screen for the radio and the maps and stuff which is fine. Especially as it is operated by buttons rather than sticky fingers. It also has a little screen for stuff like MPG and speed and to tell me when I need to service things which is ok because it’s in the middle of a proper dial. And next to some other dials. The best thing about this screen is I can have the screen speed in kilometres per hour for when I’m in a country that doesn’t measure things with a long dead horse so it is genuinely useful. I was recently a passenger in a Tesla with that massive telly instead of a dash and whilst I could see Google Satellite View and some other things that were so unimportant I forget what they were, I couldn’t see the speed we were going or how much electricity there was left. I’m sure it’s on there and I just didn’t know where to look but that’s the point isn’t it? On my car it’s right in front of me and whilst Google Satellite View is great for seeing into your neighbours gardens in 2022 I’m not sure it’s more important than speed when operating a car. Also it’s easier to use normal Google Maps for navigation. And finally most electric cars to my eyes seem to look like they were designed by children whose parents were late picking them up from car design nursery and so they just kept designing and drawing until someone came for them. If they made an electrical car that was nice and cheap, would do 400 miles, looked nice and elegant instead of shouty and ‘LOOOOOK AT MEEEEEE’ and put proper dials and buttons in it then I’d be in.
we have 3 cars and one is a 2020 leaf. we love it. owned it 4 years and only replaced one wiper blade. never bother servicing it. nothing to do. 30 quid road tax. 10p to go 100 miles. best car i've ever owned. and i have driven over 4 million miles since 1979 in cars vans and motorbikes
Nice vid Mustard. What a performance car for mondeo money, I love electric cars, After a lifetime of repairing, welding, spraying cars, Father time has caught up with me. The mind's still willing, but the body isn't listening any more. I bought an MG ZS EV five years ago & never looked back, It's a very nice car indeed. The silent responsive drive & regen braking is great. It's also much easier to get in & out of than my Rover 75 2.5V6 connoisseur I had. I still love older/classic ICE cars, but as an everyday car, it fits the bill for my usage these days perfectly & cheap as chips to charge at home on an EV tariff.
You would be better off having the standard MG4 which starts at £26k. 0-60 is still rapid at between 6.1 and 7.7 seconds but they are slightly cheaper. My Sister and Brother in law love their Trophy Long Range. So much so they have just bought another MG. An ex demo ZS EV Long Range. They had a Hyundai Ioniq5 on order, but because of production delays and the fact the MG was £20k cheaper, there cancelled that and bought the MG.
Very unbiased review . I enjoyed that . Ive an open mind on them , they have their place, wouldn't work for me in their present state i do too many miles in one run . But for local commutes and daily local use i can see the benefits. Touch screen bothers me though . Was behind a lady a fortnight gone , she was over the lane markings and slowing down ( dual carriageway) jabbing at her central screen. Poor dear was probably trying to find radio 4 or sommat.. you can't operate a mobile phone why are these things legal?.
Nothing wrong with the well made video or especially with the 'car' when compared to the other hideous furniture van style 'cars' of the present day. However, I think all these Chinese cars make me feel a bit sad when thinking about the history and tradition of the MG marque.
They interviewed someone from the Society of EV Makers (or something like that) on Radio Four. The representative, of course, didn’t mention any disadvantages. Radio Four should know better than to get a biased view. M
I would be tempted to lease one but buying an electric car is daft. I borrowed my mate's leccy Porsche a few weeks ago. It was incredibly quick. Faster than most things on the road but near bankrupt me to charge it! Plus its deprecated about 60% in a year.
I've never been sold on the performance and size side of Leccy cars, seems to be against the whole point of them. Still nothing against them at all, why don't they add steel strips down the road like Scalextric so we can charge as we go? Would I have a battery pack fitted to my old motor? I'd definitely consider it if it were cheap enough to fit. (no extra power wanted, well not much.)
I don't like the MG brand. I was one of the unfortunate people who lost their jobs when Rover was sold out to the Chinese. The MG brand is rubbish. All electric cars are fast, even the hybrid cars there good till a stone hits your windscreen. But that's encouraging boy racers.
A lot of performance for the money, for sure. Not 100 percent sold on build quality of the latest MGs though after seeing my dads HS compared to his first HS. Time will tell though, and they do seem to be selling well
If you factor the monthly cost of petrol against the cost of an EV it is closer than it looks. They'd be better to drop the silly power and add range to this MG (Its not a MG, its a Chinese thing) The touch screen is a big put off, when that fails it will kill the car. Interior space is poor for the size of it as well. Its a Chinese MG pretending to be British, not for me. I have driven a couple of EVs, Fiat 500E and Renault Megane and I liked both, its like a normal automatic in most scenarios, the instant response is intoxicating initially. EVs are coming, may as well get used to it
Here's the deal. I don't mind EVs, anyone liking them (not me) can buy one. What I do mind is forcing (whether directly or indirectly through penalties for using an ICE) people to buy an EV because of some moral claim.
Agreed. I don't mind people owning EVs, as long as they don't actually believe they are having any benefit for the planet, and as long as they aren't one of those EV owners who believes that everybody should be forced into having one, and anyone who can't afford one shouldn't be allowed a car. It sounds mental, but there's a lot of them that think that way.
Agree also. I think the manufacturing eco-bill doesn't go into the black until at least 100,000 miles have been covered by the vehicle, much of that bill from the battery which if it fails under that mileage, will never be paid for. As for owning one myself, they simply don't interest me in the slightest.
I don't agree. It depends on what aspects interest you. I want something that is interesting and makes me feel good and life better! I think you can achieve that with any powertrain. Most cars now are really bland. I have recently experienced a new BMW X5 3.0 diesel and E Class Mercedes. I just feel they have absolutely nothing interesting about them. They are completely missing that magic of the older models, which made me love cars in the first place. If any car can bring that back and make the journey exciting, I'm not bothered what powers it.
I detest electric cars. I also hate electric refrigerators, electric mobile phones, electric tv sets, electric vending machines, electric marital aids, electric defibrillators. Seriously as consumer products they are just white goods. I would never own one for fun. Probably just hire one now and then. I’ll keep the old 3.9i for now.

Ive just ordered one of these. I watched 100s of reviews and everyone makes that face you do when the hit the pedal thats my reason for buying it 😂😂
Love it. I’ve driven one and it’s a cracking drive. Love to have one.
why cant MG do a revive the Rover SD1 ? now that something id go for along as its its hybrid or ICE
we have 3 cars and one is a 2020 leaf. we love it. owned it 4 years and only replaced one wiper blade. never bother servicing it. nothing to do. 30 quid road tax. 10p to go 100 miles.

Foot on the brake.foot on the accelerate indport mode let it power to 64% I think and let go of the brake. Launches 0-60 in 3.8
Love the colour, not sure about the body styling, though. It does look like it was inspired by a pair of trendy sports trainers 😂
Brilliant video Paul has always 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍👍

That's a hell of a loss.

Fantastic review, Paul. Great passion, really interesting!
For an electric car the MG is quite likeable👍 Quartic steering wheel is a nice touch😄

Brake lights come on when lift off in evs its very annoying
Pass me the sick bag when you have finished
Helpful
Design by Fischer Price and the interior ambience of a coffin, is that more helpful😉
And another thing, how about a third of the power and twice the range, appeal to a lot more people with real world expectations

Not so keen on the car but good review 😊
