MG 4 EV

Driving experience: It was great experience after the test drive and I like the handling with rear wheel drive and the suspension setting in comfort tuning, it is fun to drive and wont feel pressure to drive in cornering road, It has a low center of gravity, balanced weight distribution, and communicative steering. The build quality of the car is super solid of the chassis. The driving mode need to manually configure without any memory setting and I like to use the One pedal mode. It need to turn on the moment you get into car. Charging : The DC charging also quicker than other model. Software: The software is not the latest technologies as compare with other brand like Omoda and BYD with 540° camera system. The 360° of MG4 does not mean can work, it also working fine. Interior Cabin space: The wheelbase of this car is 2705mm which bigger than other hatchback size and rear seat with enough legroom. It make your drive more comfort with rear multilink suspension. No sunroof like other brand car, don't think is suitable for Singapore weather. Painful of paying extra money for tinted the sunroof glass and paying more the insurance coverage. Boot space: Boot space with 398mm, need more can remove the tonear cover and can bend down the rear seat with 1177mm space. It is enough for small family. MG Pilot : The function almost same like other brand and can be served through steering wheel left button either Traffic jammed assist and ACC. It also bundle system with Lane keep assist, automatic emegency braking system, rear cross alert, blind spot detection without irritating sound. Let you drive more carefully on the road....

Exterior - In the era of EV slick designs, it is not the most modern looking but it is eye catching. Some cars are fast to impress but look dated after few months. This is the opposite. - It looks small but not small at all! I parked beside a golf, and the golf looks like minicar. - The volcano orange is really special under the sunlight! Interior - Nothing like the usual opulent offerings from many chinese EVs now. - Minimalism, unclattered, surprisingly spacious and airy. Its wheelbase is as long as bmw X1! - Everything is functional and simple without it being too much "Into your face". - The doors close with a convincing solid thud, better than some contis. - At this price tag, some cost saving measures/materials are inevitable like no rear central arm rest, cup holders etc. - There is no rear aircon vent but the aircon is super effective! Airflow is strong when tuned up. - "Hi MG" Command is pretty good. Tried adjusting fan speed with it while driving and it works beautiful everytime! Drive - This is main selling point of the car! - Hard to find a car with RWD, minimal body roll on negotiating a turn yet ride comfortably over bumps. I am really surprised! - To get such drive/ride in a RWD conti ICE, it would set one back at min 230k. - It does has its quirkiness - its lane keeping assist is a tad too assisting to the point of hindering rather than assist driving. SW updates can probably improve it in future. One could switch off or to just alert. But it is stupidly reset after powering down. - It offers other usual useful safety features such as cross traffic assist, rear car collison alert, blind spot detector, 360° cam etc. - The range states 450km. I could easily hit that and more. - Insulation is good too! Quiet ride. Sales - Special mention to EK MG sale guy, Derek. - Very responsive right up till delivery. Conclusion - This is NOT the best car but the prefect one in this price/value bracket - Google the overseas' rave reviews for more info. - Some would say spend a bit more to get e.G. Model 3 (cat A RWD too). True in terms of fun gadgets stuff like sophisticated sentry mode and sunroof etc. However it is a whopping ~40k +/- (as of jul 2024) - If you are looking for a good drive, decently priced Cat A RWD EV to start an EV journey, this could be it. (Psss....On paper, this car outruns Cat A Model 3 and Cat B ICE 318i by 0.1s)... Read More
