More specs according to the German site:

MG4 Electric : ID.3-Rivale mit noch mehr Reichweite

Mit dem MG4 haben die Briten seit Ende 2022 ein elektrisches Kompaktmodell zu Preisen ab rund 32.000 Euro am Start. Das bekommt jetzt eine dritte Batterievariante mit über 500 Kilometer Reichweite.

• 4.29m long, 1.84m wide, 1.52m high, 2.705m wheelbase
• 2 battery sizes 51 and 64 kWh, 400 and 600km range. The numbers seem dubious as the ID3 can't even achieve 600km with 77kWh battery.
• Starting at 28500 Euro so probably £30k+ here.
• Most surprising bit: UK available from Q4 2022, rest of EU after. Again highly suspect.

I suspect the 64 kwh will actually deliver a similar range to the LR ZS (270 miles). 10% reduction in capacity offset with better efficiency than the ZS

Finally, a fairly clear photo of the interior. Looks good!

Think it will be closer to £28k upwards in the UK....

It's such a shame they're making another 30k car. We need a 20k EV for more people to buy. I think a better move would be release an MG3 or an equivalent Zoe competitor.

Get everyone's buying them which increases the MG popularity and then release others. People will go with MG if it delivers a small affordable EV, I can see most people sticking with a leaf and ID3 for this price range.

If a family bought an small 20k EV and liked it as their commuting runaround car, if it delivers then they're much more likely to buy their big family car next from them as they trust the Chinese make.

Personally I had no idea MG was still around until I started googling EV estate cars and found the MG5 which was cheap at the time with the grant and affinity.

Problem is can a £20k EV be sold in the UK for a profit?

 

[neilp7865]

Considering an ICE Ford Fiesta starts at £18k I don’t think we’ll see a £20k supermini BEV. Corsa-e starts at £27k so £25k (10% undercut) probably realistic

 

[weedavemac]

To be fair, approx 12 to 15 months ago it was possible to get an MG5 SR excite for circa £20k

I bought my MG5 SR for 21k for an exclusive, so the excite would have been about 19k. So yes I guess so, why not?

I'm not keen at all on that indented rear spoiler, but I like the rest of the styling. To a degree I think both this and the MG5 refresh look more modern than the facelift ZS - especially on the inside.

Love the little bit we can see of the interior... If that black cloth is of a good quality, I'd much rather have had that as an option on the current cars rather than pleather.

How they price this is going to be interesting.

 

[AdamMGEV]

So when will it go on sale in the UK? I would consider trading my MG5 in for one of these if the price was right.

The EV platform looks interesting. Are you able to tell us anything further about this at all Miles? I am looking forward to the ZS replacement on this platform.

How much grant did you get and allow for rising component and transport prices as well ?

Have to disagree the back window area is too small + no wiper ???
not for me :-(

I don't think this podcast happened, do you know when it will be?

Moved to tonight instead, due to a diary clash.
