MG Marvel R will be completely transformed

Although the Marvel R is the current flagship of the MG range in the European market, the truth is that it is a model that has little or nothing to do with the rest of the offer from the manufacturer of British origin. This is because in China it is sold with the logos of Roewe, another of the SAIC group brands. For this reason, its design language is different from that of other MG models such as the MG4 Electric or the ZS EV.

The MG Marvel R falls into the D segment (midsize SUV) and is available in three finishes: Comfort, Luxury, and Performance. The first two are equipped with a set consisting of two engines (both coupled to the rear axle) capable of delivering a maximum combined power of 180 HP (132 kW) and a torque of 410 Nm. Its 70 kWh batteries give it a maximum range of 402 km WLTP.

The Performance adds the third motor on the front axle, so it enjoys all-wheel drive. In this case, it offers 288 CV (212 kW) and 665 Nm, which allows it to do 0 to 100 km/h in 4.9 seconds. Its top speed is limited to 200 km/h. The pack is identical to the rest of the versions, although in this case the range is reduced to 370 km WLTP.

All terminations include an 11 kW three-phase charger as standard. As for fast charging, it can reach a maximum of 92 kW in continuous current, going from 5 to 80% charge in 43 minutes. Nor can we lose sight of the fact that it has V2L technology, so it can power external electrical equipment.

The MG Marvel R could change its name in its next generation

Even though it is one of MG’s most attractive performance proposals, the company is already working on its replacement, which will no longer be a rebranded Roewe to embrace the aesthetic keys of the English brand. To reflect this generational change, it could release a new name.

MG Marvel R

The heir to the MG Marvel R will use SAIC’s new MSP platform, which has been designed to accommodate batteries of up to 150 kWh capacity. This architecture will serve as the basis for a total of 14 electric vehicles of the Chinese group, becoming the cornerstone of its international expansion.

Thanks to this base, the electric SUV (whose arrival on the European market is scheduled for 2024-2025) will improve its autonomy, matching the latest proposals from the competition. Its main rivals will be the Aiways U6 and the Volkswagen ID.5, although the Marvel R should be somewhat cheaper with equal power.

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. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
