MG4 X-Power Orders & Delivery

[salty]

First post, so howdy .

Just ordered a grey Xpower. Had a Trophy Long Range for a few weeks as a courtesy car and was impressed with how it drove for such a cheap EV. Yes the infotainment and safety systems are not perfect, but nothing we cant live with.

Went to Richmond MG in Botley to test the XPower, but could not get a real feel of performance as it was only charged to 20% and severely power limited. Having booked the test drive earlier in the week you would have though they would have at least charged it!!

This is our 3rd EV, MB EQC(too big and wobbly), eC4 Citroen (all that was quickly available during the period that must not be named. To be fair, the Citroen is a very comfortable car, but slow and range challenged.

To the Madhouse ? sorry forum. ?
Enjoy your new motor, when you get it. ?

That's good.
You will already be used to the MG way of doing things, but when suitably charged will need to recalibrate your senses with the X Powers amazing pace. ?
Welcome.

ex Westfield, BMW M4 (sorry) owner so looking forward to it! At the other end of the scale I am a classic car nut with an 1936 Morris 8 and a 65 2 stroke Saab, both terrifying with very little power!!!

Hi all, first post.
I’m swapping my Mini SE for an XPower which is being delivered tomorrow.
I’m looking forward to contributing to the forum, as I’ve been lurking since January!

Welcome to the forum and hope all went well .... any initial thoughts on your car ??

Most fun I've ever had in a car was a little racing green mini. Wheel at each corner, hardly any power, no noise deadening material at all. Misted up totally in anything but summer and sounded like it was about to explode every time it started up. But it sure was fun to drive...

Exactly!! James Hunt used to drive an old Austin A35 van. He said he could drive the wheels off of it everywhere without ever breaking a speed limit

A small car on skinny tyres doesn't take much to be able to have some "engaging" driving. The first generation Ford Ka was great for that, you could power slide on roundabouts at about 10mph with a damp road

Collected my Camden Grey X-Power yesterday and haven't stopped smiling since! What a great car and vibration free - yay!!

Have the same colour on order

I think it looks really cool in the grey; rather understated which I like - a wolf in sheep’s clothing!

Evening all,

I've been scouring the forum for the past few months in preparation for my Xpower's arrival (Racing Green). It's set to be delivered in 10 days from Lookers at MG Brighton - i'm located in Cardiff. I'll be sure to come back and let you all know if I experience the dreaded vibration issue and share the build date details. It was a factory order, so I am expecting a recent built date hopefully!

Cheers.

As above......Hello.

SWMBO's choice - Red. Can't complain as I chose the model. Actually I quite like the red anyway.

It will be interesting to see what happens to prices after July 4th ?

How will new EU tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles work?

The tariffs are aimed at countering the alleged state support handed to China’s car manufacturing industry

Absolutely nothing (probably) ?

Afternoon all, so I took delivery on the vehicle on the 11th June. Date of manufacture is the 29/11/2023.

1. Undertray - no signs of significant sagging.

2. Vibration - no vibration at all, so like I may have a good one!

Drives perfect for now, with no squeaks or creaks.

I'll report back after a few thousand miles.

Cheers
