    Very good review. The final comments sum it up well: good practical hatchback with something a bit special lurking beneath. That will do nicely. Ordered mine in green.

    The best way to look at the XPower is that it is a 400hp EV for less than a base ID.3, Cupra, Niro EV or Megane eTech. On that basis it is an absolutely bargain

    I may be wrong but I feel this car is better than we expect. Bridgestone Turanza have little grip when you refer to the poorest results of cars equipped with them in the moose test (km77). In the future, we may see time-laps with this car allowing to draw definitive conclusions. I’m saying that since I discovered my AWD SUV with a similar system of torque transfer as in the MG 4 is able to go as fast as a hot hatch I owned previously in low speed curves and with the same tyres. The feeling in my SUV is not sporty at all, but handling is excellent, so it could also apply to the MG4 x power despite a basic interior, not sporty seats, that give the impression of a basic commuter.

    • @ISITWORTHITUK
      @ISITWORTHITUK  Před rokem +1

      Brilliant comments and thanks for watching. I’m hoping to be able to take in on track depending on the dealership and see how it really performs. When compared to an SUV the MG4 is at slight advantage with being lower to the ground with cornering and thus having a lower centre of gravity. The steering with the torque vectoring maybe be more apparent in full track mode. It’s cleaver inner wheel braking helps with sharp turns as well. MG has a game changer on their hands for sure but it would be great to hear if you get a drive in one to see if you prefer the SUV or MG4 xpower as you mentioned they are close on corners. Again a straight launch is where the Xpower makes its mark.

    I've got an MG4 Trophy. This car is certainly worth it but the X Power, I don't think so. The Trophy is plenty fast enough. However, there are loads of irritating problems on the Trophy and I bet my shirt the X Power is the same. One, no two things I like on the XP are the rear window wiper which you don't get on any other 4's and the grab handles above the doors, these aren't available on the other 4's unless things have changed in the last six months since I bought mine.

    • @ISITWORTHITUK
      @ISITWORTHITUK  Před 10 měsíci

      Great comment and thanks for watching. yes if you're not interested in the extra boost the trophy is fast enough as you've experienced. No plans as of yet for the rest of the MG4's to get the additional extras. It's annoying how the little things make all the difference but I suppose that's how they get you to upgrade.

    I have the standard MG4 LR, which gets me to where I need to go without any range anxiety. However would pay more for the ER (extended range) version over the xPower which is now available, since I have had little need to race petrol heads from the traffic lights.

    • @ISITWORTHITUK
      @ISITWORTHITUK  Před rokem +1

      Great comment and thanks for watching. If range is important yes definitely stick to the LR. The standard MG4 is decent enough anyway with the instant torque you get. How long have you had the LR for and how are you find the charging infrastructure?

The MG4 LR I drive in Normal mode like a regular ICE car and seldom need public charging, if I do it's only for 10mins or so, just to get home, where I normally charge.

    You know the orange calipers are clip on so not that big as they look. The best way to sum it up is that it's a budget EV (£25k) with alot more power. Not a real hot hatch but great for traffic light grand prix. Its only worth it if you want the acceleration, otherwise it's the same car. The competitors are much nicer interiors and nicer places to be. I would much rather an RS3 if I wanted an inefficient hot hatch.

    Good review..! Does anyone know if dealers would paint the calipers black,or dark grey..? As if I do it, would it void the warranty..? as the orange ones just say "steal me please.."
    Also:- Does anyone know how to turn-off the keyless entry on the fob & car..? as I've heard it's the most popular way of stealing cars..😳
