MG has unveiled a MG4: Review & Details

British automaker MG has unveiled a new all-electric model. The MG4 stands on a completely newly developed platform, specially developed for Europe. With the presentation of the MG4, MG is now ensuring a successful entry into the European automobile market.

  • MG4 was introduced
  • Newly developed platform
  • 51 or 64 kWh battery selectable
  • Competition model for the ID.3
  • Up to 450 km range
  • Market launch in Europe planned for late 2022

Exterior design

The MG4 should bring the manufacturer success in the segment of compact, all-electric hatchback models. To be successful in Europe, you need a vehicle like the MG4, that much is certain. The hatchback model is modern. Five doors and a length of 4.29 meters already indicate that it is compact but also comfortable.

The width of 1.84 meters and a height of 1.50 meters are exactly what have proven themselves in the competitive environment.

The slim and sporty proportions could make the MG4 a real alternative to established models like the ID.3. The split rear spoiler and the strongly formed silhouette with hard edges and lines are eye-catchers.

MG4 Electric Car

MG4 Electric platform

The MG4 is based on the completely new MSP platform developed by the parent company SAIC, especially for Europe. MG4 Electric is currently completing a 120,000-kilometer endurance test under a wide variety of conditions.

The modular architecture enables many advantages in terms of space utilization, flexibility, and weight savings. Wheelbases between 2.65 and 3.10 meters are not a problem, which should allow different body styles in the future.

Accordingly, the platform is important for MG’s growth strategy in Europe.

MG4 Electric battery and motors

Due to the low vehicle height, very flat batteries can be used. SAIC Motor developed these, with a height of 110 mm they are currently the thinnest in their class. There will initially be two battery capacities to choose from for the MG4. Once 51 kWh and 64 kWh. This means that ranges of between 350 and 450 kilometers are possible.

Other MG4 variants are planned, and there should also be an all-wheel drive. The output of the version with the smaller battery is 125 kW, with the larger one 150 kW is possible. It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in less than eight seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h.

One pack battery system

The innovative battery allows very effective use of space. The cooling system has also been redesigned. Accordingly, the one-pack battery offers several advantages: it can be integrated very well, has a very long service life, and safety protection against thermal runaway.

MG4 interior

Five people can easily fit inside the MG4. As the picture shows, everything is very tidy and clean. There are only a few physical buttons, the central screen is operated via touch functions.

The two-tone seats with red decorative stitching make the MG4 elegant and sporty at the same time.

MG4 Electric prices and the start of sales

The MG4 is scheduled to be launched in Europe in the fourth quarter of 2022. It is not yet known what price the manufacturer is asking.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023.
