I've had the RWD MG4 for nearly a year and really enjoy the drive. The chassis and power delivery are really pretty impressive in comparison to previous hot hatches I've had. Even prefer it over my 300bhp Subaru it replaces. Don't think I would pay the extra for the Xpower but can't argure with the numbers. The whole MG4 range certainly puts some price pressure on competitors to sharpen their prices
New owner here. I agree. Too heavy, and not enough feedback from the connection to the road to be a fair dinkum hot hatch contender. For me the beauty is that I can drive it sensibly and reasonably economically, then bung it in Sport, and go nuts. And damn, go nuts is an understatement. 😱😂 Bearing mind I'm a moto guy, not a car guy, the greatest compliment I can give is that my XPower overtakes like a fast motorbike. 😱 Despite occasional hooning, current economy calculates to over 400km range. It's a good car with minor flaws, and runout sales here meant I paid much less than $NZ65k. A few extra dollars spent by MG could have made it amazing. I'm really struggling to find the right words for this - I'd say it's more a car that adds enjoyment to driving, as distinct from a car you drive for the enjoyment of driving, if that makes sense. 🤷
Thanks for sharing your experiences. I’m pleased to hear you’re taking the XPOWER at face value and enjoying it the way it delivers best. Long may your satisfaction with it last. Cheers for watching. 👍
Ah doesnt get old :) its very handy to have, merging, off the lights. This isnt a sports car, nor is it sold as one, this is a family car with poke. And closest thing to a shooting brake. with coilovers , wider tyres, softer front sway, it would possibly be more spirited. But not what it was sold as. :)
So the MG4 XPower would compete against the Kia EV6 GT, Hyundai Ioniq 5N and Tesla Model 3 performance then? Considering how much more power they all make and their significantly higher price tags I am not so sure. I think it currently stands alone at it's price point, and good on MG for selling it. Whether it will sell is another story entirely though...

Chances are that the next generation mg4 will have more steering feedback.

I see this car driving around Epsom quite often. XPOW3R
Just don’t try to drag it off at the lights. 👍

“Now no one has to tell an old Aberdeen pub crawler how to applaud, Captain.”
Not known for having an open mind lol.
That’s me!👍
Could be the world's best car. It's just flat out too ugly to consider
Body styling is 🤮 Alloys look like flower petals
