Following the disappointing news we recieved this week from our MG dealer that our ZS is STILL at least 8 months away (giving us nearly a year's lead time) we decided to look at what other EVs were in stock in France that we 'somewhere near' our budget but available for immediate delivery. The list was, sadly, pretty dismal consisting of:
The bottom line is, unless one is willing to spend upwards of 80k euros there is virtually nothing available that can meet the specs of the varying MG products - they truly are great value for money, especially with the warranty. So, although we're still undecided on the expensive Enyaq, we've decided that really there is little option other than to wait, so to cover our bases we've ordered the lot! We popped up to the MG dealer and amended our order for the ZS to also include an MG5 and a Marvel R with the premise that we'll accept whichever one will arrive first and cancel the remaining two - if nothing else it'll make the next eight month wait a little more interesting .......
- Varying Skoda Enyaq IVs in peasant spec
- A quite nice, but very expensive Enyaq IV is RS Sportline spec (this is still on the 'sod it, let's just buy it and hang the cash list')
- Varying specs of Kia e-Niro (boot too small to justify the €11k uplift over the ZS)
- Some insanely expensive (> €113,000.00) Audi e-Trons
- A few disgustingly ugly and insanely expensive big BMWs (and a couple of fugy i3s)
- 18 overpriced and under-specc'd Opel (Vauxhall) Mokkas
- A couple of Peugeot e-2008s
- Lots of over-priced Renault Zöes
- and some Peugeot/Citroen vans of varying flavours
