      then you haven't seen the new Mini Cooper EV. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/2024-mini-cooper-ev-el…
      Saw a Ora on the road today. They both share the round lights and over all more cute comical design language. It won't appeal to every one especially males.

    Too bad it’s so ugly. I think the MG4 automatically wins because of that.

    • Caped Baldy on 03/04/2024 - 22:10
      +11

      I think it's better than the new Toyota/Subaru EV

      One bonus feature of the Ora is 11kW AC charging. Only long range MG4 has that, the others max out at 7kW for AC. MG4 is much faster for DC charging though

    • Mentok on 04/04/2024 - 07:50

      MG4 touchscreen is terrible, the Android Auto connectivity is flaky. That was a deal-breaker for us. It's had a year of firmware updates in the UK and these issues aren't solved so unlikely they will be.

      On road it was excellent. RWD, drives nicely for a car in that price range. Looks aren't everyone's cup of tea but are less divisive than the Ora. I think it looks pretty good.

      We ended up with the Dolphin. Funny looking but not crazy, better connectivity and in car controls (but still not flawless), drives ok for a FWD and BYD battery tech should in theory be better.

        I've got a MG4 Essence 64 since September last year.
        I agree on the touchscreen, it's a bit laggy and sometimes the system will take a while to start, Auto Lane Keep is still too sensitive for me so I turn it to just alert every time I drive.
        But my Android Auto has been solid ever since I replaced an old cable which was flaky, so that could be an issue you've had.

        • Mentok on 04/04/2024 - 08:21

          Yeah, I suspect the cable is critical, and probably using cheap Chinese phones didn't help us either. BYD 's AA isn't flawless either and I'll probably update phones sooner than usual because it's so critical to the driving experience now.

          Hope you're happy with the MG - of all the cars I test drove I liked it the most 👍

        You said it drives great but you didn't buy it because your phone didn't work with it. Utterly bizarre.
        That's why car manufacturers keep rolling out the same crap -> Biggest concern is "Does it have Carplay?" Rather than -> How does it drive?

          I know what you are saying (I am in a Tesla M3P ex Golf R), but you have to remember that most people don't drive a car for the enjoyment, they just want to get from A to B in relative comfort, usually going 50kph in a straight line in traffic. How it drives is secondary.

          • Mentok on 04/04/2024 - 12:39
            +3

            @dtpearson: Exactly. I've owned several cars that were lovely to drive, and it has always been a principal driver in which cars to buy, but I invariably ended up mostly driving them to the same places over and over, or in traffic jams, or both. Utterly uninspiring and I just don't care any more.

            Also worth mentioning, the cars that I thought were lovely to drive my wife hated to drive. She hated to drive my cars with heavy clutches, stiff suspension and low ride height. Picking a car that drives slightly better than another but then living with dysfunctional tactiles and controls to me is dumb, and I would have heard no end to it from my partner.

      Are pickups all that beautiful?
      Are boxy SUVs and 4X4 all that beautiful?

          Agreed. There should be some sort of tax input equivalent to maintain the roads, etc that the fuel tax is no doubt put towards. How this is executed I'm not so sure, but EVs still have an impact on road wear and tear the same as any other vehicle.

              @dtpearson: No, I'm just saying that consolidated revenue needs to be maintained - if they lose revenue due to reduced fuel consumption, it will need to be found elsewhere.

              No, I never said that EVs are just as polluting. I don't know where you got that from. I just mean that we need $X of revenue for $X of expenditure, I don't particularly care where it comes from.
