    I think this is about $5-$8k more than it's worth.

      What's better for the same price?
      What's $8k cheaper that's this car's equal?

      • Drakesy on 30/04/2025 - 13:23

        I'd still say a BYD Atto3 would pip this in power, quality and fitout.

        MG at the end of the day is still an MG - it is an EV MG which is good though.

            @sunnyc: Feel free to expand on your reasoning.

            I have an LDV (SAIC Motors - same as MG) and it's a bit hit and miss regarding quality - although overall satisfied.
            Work has a fleet of BYD Attos and they haven't missed a beat.

            @sunnyc: I test drove the MG4, MG ZS EV and the BYD Atto 3. I chose the BYD as the infotainment system was a lot more responsive, more reliable wireless charging and it is still a nice drive and good fit out.

            BYD also has better battery tech.

              @sween64: I drove 30+ EV and I didn't wouldn't recommend a BYD and I also did a west coast up WA trip in a BYD Atto 3 and wouldn't buy one after that trip.

          MG is bigger and RWD, I fail to see how it's a $5-$8k negative in terms of proposition V the BYD. Comes down to want and need.

          The Atto 3 has torque steering due to the fwd nature. Same as the geely ex5.

        Geely EX5 Complete (the base model) seems to match the Essence 62kWh version. $7k cheaper.

        • Drakesy on 30/04/2025 - 15:08

          Yep, 100%

        • freeb1e4me on 01/05/2025 - 09:35

          Actually about $5k cheaper as Geely prices are not Driveaway. You also have to factor in servicing costs and warranty so it could be very close…

                      Google says below, oth brands sell similar number.

                      "In the Chinese automotive market, BYD has overtaken SAIC in terms of sales and market share, particularly in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. BYD's cumulative sales in the first 11 months of 2025 were 3.7573 million units, a 40% year-over-year increase, while SAIC's sales were 3.53 million units, a 19.48% year-over-year decrease. BYD's dominance in the EV market is further highlighted by its 35.5% market share in China in 2023, while SAIC had a 7.5% share."

                          This is what google says

                          "MG, now owned by SAIC Motor, frequently rebadges vehicles from other SAIC-owned brands like Roewe and Maxus for international markets. This practice allows MG to expand its global footprint and offer a wider range of vehicles, including those not developed specifically for the MG brand."

                          https://www.drive.com.au/news/mg-ute-caught-on-camera/

                          Is this a SAIC, a LDV or MG?

                            @Flutterby: Both LDV and MG utes say SAIC on the bottom left.

                            So the answer is all of the above.

      Agree. No OTA updates and dealers are not updating the software during servicing unless major problems. Poor quality finishing and materials. AT least BYD cares for their brand MG will slash the price by 10k overnight to boost sales and stuff the car resell value. Made a mistake buying MG so just have to suck it up but will not recommend.

    My 1yr old MG4 is still a joy to drive but agree with other comments about immediate and massive price drop. No compensation whatsoever. I know cars depreciate and i was happy if they at least gave 1 free service due to the massive price drop after less than 3 months but nope, they offered some stupid discount on future purchase. Absolute turn off. They need to learn how people lose trust and confidence in the brand. Don't jump in now. Just wait

    • n00bis on 30/04/2025 - 14:56

      I think people will start seeing EVs like they see tech purchases. I bought a TCL 98' TV, which cost me $4500. When it was released 10 months earlier, it was almost $9000.

    • z28 on 30/04/2025 - 16:13

      Serviced once every 2 years, so one free service every 2 years, unlike most (all) others.

      I got mine in November last year and price had increased since then.

    • braddsey on 30/04/2025 - 16:15

      To be fair, no other car manufacturer is giving you anything of value if you buy a car on release, and then they drop the price. Same goes for any other "early adopter" purchase. It's the early adopter fee.

    Geely EX5 beats this car in almost every aspect except the RWD. Pay a tiny bit extra elsewhere and get so much more. Also, the $1199 rrp for 7kw single phase charger is crazy.

    When they don’t sell, at least you’ll get one for $10k cheaper later this year when they need to meet sales quotas.

    • beesider on 03/05/2025 - 23:36

      My understanding is, their ChargeHub is a smart charger with OCPP support. Such chargers start from $1000. The RRP looks to be within the market range.

  • freeb1e4me on 01/05/2025 - 09:45

    The 64 kWh battery that the UK gets is NMC, and is tied to the higher output 170kw motor. Unfortunately, all Australian versions have LFP with 125kw motor, which is a bit anaemic. This might be the cheapest but also the weakest electric SUV in it’s class…
