MG4 - First UK dealer hands on photos and specifications

[duncerduncs]

Mine has.

4 in September and then a further 9 from the second batch (estimated late November).

Is yours a 'big' dealer group or a smaller one?

If they are then the question is where - they aren't at the dealers yet so must either all be hidden at the docks or Longbridge. My guess is that they are on a ship arriving early next week.

This is no ship don’t know where it is but definitely not a ship.

Do they know colours and specs? Or just numbers?

I'd like to think that MG UK has tried to match the specs/colours to the early orders for each dealer as far as possible.

There's about 60 in that photo. I'm sure that mine's fifth or sixth from the right.... ?

Oh, and that photo's not Longbridge.

And mine is the blue one ?

Smaller one I think….. two showrooms though, so maybe middling?

I was told by my dealer the second batch will be in October.

Is yours SE SR like mine or SE LR - it's hard to tell from the back ... ?

 

[Harry 17]

I was told by my dealer the second batch will be in October.

To be fair, that was the info given to me at the start of September. It may be a different time line now.

When I pick up my car later this month, I will ask re: expected delivery date for second batch, and what, out of the nine cars, will be available. Should any of you members be interested in purchasing one. ?

I am one of the unlucky ones whose Trophy expected next week, turned out to be a SE now waiting for a phone call from dealer to see if there is any chance of a Trophy turning up!! was also told that the next batch are expected next month? desperate now as I sold our only car 3 weeks ago so we can buy the MG4 outright, gutted ?

 

[Gomev]

I'm now less obsessed?

I'm glad for you

 

[Gomev]

Me too (not actually me too, oops deffo @ me too!! oh bugger! What am I supposed to say again?).

I agree

I'm glad for you too

This is the problem, you sell on your only car then there is a delay ?.
A few ZS EV ( Gen 1 ) owners did the same when the prices were really strong and they are still awaiting delivery of their Gen2 models.
I know somebody who has been with a car for almost 7 months now !.
Relying on family to give him lifts each and every week.
I don’t think the MG4 will suffer massive delays ( hopefully ).

Same here, my old car was collected yesterday, relying on my wife's car for a couple of weeks. Fingers crossed.

I'm glad for you

Sometimes, we are told, 'less is more' and if the French are paying the same as us for the car and they get a heat pump included I'm still going to be very annoyed.

I'm not in the first batch but that may be a good thing if they drop the VAT rate by 5% as rumoured.

Pre heat or cool the car when plugged into a charger, whether it’s at home or on the move. I have done this with my Kona, and have no, or extremely little loss in miles.

Fiscal event(budget) is supposed to be the 22nd, I'm in the first batch, only paid £100 deposit. So if they do cut vat, hopefully it'll help us all.

Thanks for that, I've doing that with my Outlander phev for 7 years now and it's been great using the phone app from the bedroom window to pre heat and defrost while watching the neighbours scraping away at their iced up cars?

Knowing my luck, it'll probably just be 5% off VAT on petrol.
