More big, expensive Tesla clones.

Though 497 miles range sounds impressive, I think the key words are "Premium EV brand". Probably not suitable for this pensioner's pocket I fear,

If its anything like the Xiaomi SU7 said to be $54,000 then UK will probably be priced around £60,000. Making it as pricey as the old old model S. The guy reviewing stated it will be around that in China. So looks like by the time it gets here mid 60s most likely.

These are other models.... L7 and LS6... rear lights and bold front lights design are nice. They have carried the rear light design to their other cars as below.



This is a different model from them. Looks like it took cues from Ferrari Purosange lol

They will be rebranded as MG. LS6/7 looks good. The L6 formerly L7 Saloon is an area they havent capitalised on neither have Nissan etc.

If that's 497 Chinese miles that means about 250 WLTP.

I sincerely hope that they have a root and branch review of their quality assurance department! SAIC is to quality what Liz Truss was to being Prime Minister!

The front of that MG9 is very MG4-esque

 

[GranTurismoEra]

They should go for a lower ride height on the long range version but we'll see how the L6 does. Good attempt at the Mercedes style integrated screen. They are 3 in 1 screens apparently

A couple of Shorts on the IM L6, looks very nice and a big step up. Rumoured to start from $31,000 (at a guess £40k+).

And here's the companion video to the earlier one but on the IM models.
