The version I saw didn't have the panoramic roof. I'm not sure if that will be an option in UK?

Miles... Thanks for posting all this. Very informative. Need to persuade the wife to buy one....

That's a shame :-(

Intriguing… very interested in this car, can see it replacing my mk1 ZS EV if price etc is right.

Oh my goodness!! that’s one cool looking car, MG certainly seems to have done a great job, the competition need to be worried …..very worried.

Ordered a ZS Trophy LR 5th Dec21, might put a deposit down on one of these probably get it quicker.

Someone said to me that it is actually the same platform/chassis as the VW ID3 and Cupra Born. Anyone any knowledge on that, or otherwise?

It’s a thought isn’t it?

It's the new MSP (Modular Scalable Platform) from SAIC, which will underpin all of their new cars going forward. Designed for RWD and AWD applications, its scalable design is suitable for wheelbases ranging from 2,650 to 3,100 mm, which allows designing various body styles for different segments on the same platform, varying from hatchback and notchback saloons to SUVs and vans.

No doubt it was inspired by the VW ID architecture, but it is bespoke to SAIC.

Interesting point made at the conference yesterday - by 2025, the MG4 will be the oldest product in the portfolio, as all models are due a relaunch using the new MSP method of build and electrification. Should be 7 or so models by then.

Why is the 0-60 mph figure slower on the more powerful models?

Extra weight for bigger battery pack and more kit?
Also, may be detuned to improve range?

Any idea Miles when you will be taking deposits.

I need to get some stuff set up on our system to allow us to take deposits and keep track of the customers properly. Give me a day or two, and I'll have it sorted. I'll of course post on here once it's possible.

Thanks Miles!

Do you have any further details on Lane Change Assist (LCA)? Some of the early reporting said it had up to Level 3 autonomous driving support. Now I don't believe for a second we'll get that here, but some self driving capability that is more sophisticated than the current ping pong MG Pilot would be great!

Also, any chance of light interior... or all black only?

Thanks again!

Any thoughts on this, Miles?

I have no information about the LCA at this stage.
I believe we will be getting just dark interiors, but full specifications should be published within weeks

Were there any talk on other appearance extras, like different wheel trims, or sizes?

I like the “standard” ones on show, but it’s always nice to have options
Thanks
