Down under you get bigger Wheels and Batteries 77kWh

[Les burrows]

According to this report from the Electric Viking in Australia the MG4 comes with far more choices including bigger wheels and one with 77kWh battery and it’s cheaper by some way, but most importantly listen to what he has to say about the dealers almost at the end around 14:35 into the video.

We should also be getting the 77kWh version this summer.

I've not watched the video (yet) ... does the stated pricing include sales tax (equivalent to our VAT)? I don't think it does, so the pricing is actually a lot closer to UK pricing.

The price includes our equivalent of VAT (GST), but not dealer delivery or stamp duty, those are dealer and state specific. Here in WA, I'm expecting the drive away price to be at least $3500 higher. Note that our mid-spec option (64kWh Essence) is actually closer to the UK top trophy spec though.

Having driven some of Australia, I can see why they’d skip straight to extended range. If I remember right we thought we’d take the scenic road, after the first day we realised it was going to take 7 days to drive from Sydney to Canberra so we decided to take the highway instead and did it in 3.

The feature list for the 3 models have now been added to the MG AU site:

Still no drive away pricing or optional accessories listed though.

The Excite model is the equivalent to the UK's SE but with the larger 64kWh battery
The Essence is the same as the UK's Trophy but with 18 inch wheels
The Long Range is the same as the Essence but with a 77kWh battery.
All the colours plus a silver seem to be available across the range.

So in Oz they'll be getting:

SE LR
Trophy LR (with 18" wheels)
Trophy ER (Extended Range with 18" wheels)

I believe we're getting 18 inch wheels in the UK so with the new model year revision, along with third headrest, rear wiper and rear grab handles plus no two-tone roofs.
