NOTHING COMES CLOSE! 2024 MG4 XPOWER REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2024 MG4 XPower is presented as a performance bargain, capable of supercar-rivalling acceleration for under $60,000. The reviewer confirms its blistering 0-100km/h time of 3.8 seconds, attributing much of its fun factor to this sheer speed and the all-wheel-drive traction. However, the review highlights several compromises. While the interior is described as high-tech and minimalist, it's noted as not feeling particularly special for the price point, with some cost-cutting evident like the manual tailgate and fake brake caliper covers. Practicality is generally good, though the charging cable storage and lack of a spare wheel are minor drawbacks. The real-world range is estimated to be around 400km, which is considered acceptable but perhaps a little low for the price. The reviewer's main contention is value, suggesting that while the XPower is undeniably fast and fun, the less powerful, rear-wheel-drive Essence 64 grade offers a more sensible proposition for most buyers, saving $10,000 while still providing a potent electric hatchback experience.
