That’s a rather fine looking pair of machines ?

Love the comment "everybody loves a sportscar but nobody wants to buy one" - great summary of the paradox.

Another paradox is bringing out a new model when you can't supply spare parts for the old one!

Indeed. Supply chains are so poor at the moment. Part of the growing pains with doubling sales every year, I think.

Any chance that more info or perhaps a sneak preview will be available at the Beijing Motor Show next month?

I believe that the MG4 will be previewed at Beijing on 21st April.
Hopefully the Cyberster too!

The top car in its current form would be undriveable where I live - speed bumps everywhere! The way things are going with allegations that the Chinese are aiding Russia in their illegal war, it may be none of us will be able to drive MGs soon! Alarmist, I know, but not beyond the realms of impossibility.

Both attractive EV's can't wait to see here in the flesh in UK! and at what price?

If the MG4 has been designed as EV from the ground up, then the space inside the cabin should hopefully be comparable to that of the MG5

Or more probably the ZS

Or now maybe not....

Well Miles, I have been waiting now about a year in the hope of a small hatchback coming from MG I,e MG3 size in electric form but no sign or news of one coming as yet, I suppose now they might never do one like a MG3 size of car having now gone to MG4 which I think could be the car in the picture you posted #1, along with the Cyberster, probably very nice and we have seen quite a lot about this concert going into production over the last year but what will it cost and how many will they sell remains to be seen, the public are queuing up for a small affordable hatch back with a decent range, the good news is, the ORA cat could be in the UK in May, according to some of the press, and I’m sure it will fly out doors I think MG have missed a very good opening by not bring the 3 model out as an EV but that’s just my opinion time will tell.

Absolutely agree, people need another Zoe, but cheaper. Mg should have done an MG3 EV or whatever they want to call it.

Think if they price this MG4 right it will be a huge success. It looks great.

How much bigger is it than the current MG3 ICE model. And would that extra size be enough to put people off buying it?

What size and price is the Ora Cat in the UK?

 

[Hobbyist]

What size and price is the Ora Cat in the UK?

Same as an ID.3, 25k targeted.

Looking at the dimensions, to me at least, the MG4 looks pretty similar to both the Cat and the ID.3
