So, I did a video on getting a pre-order of an MG4 in Australia:
One of the commenters said the MG4 base has an LFP battery, and the others have NMC. I didn't believe it at first (none of the YouTube reviews said this iirc), but checked on it and it's true apparently:

I'm assuming they went NMC on the LR and Trophy due to the extra weight an LFP would be.
Another commenter (Wildreefer) said:
"according to my calculations, the LR versions @80% have almost the exact same range as the SR (LFP) version @100% - so basically all you're getting on the LR version is the ability to go to 100% from time to time for longer trips. Not sure if that's worth the extra money, but for some it may be worthwhile."
Which is a good question.
So, does this change what you would choose?
I was thinking the LR would be the best option, if the Trophy was too much more, but now I'm not so sure.
Thoughts??

MG MG4 Electric - Battery type
MG MG4 Electric (all model variants) - Battery type: Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), Lithium Nickel Manganese Cobalt (NMC)
