OUR MG4 UK ROAD TRIP! THIS INEXPENSIVE EV COULD DO WELL IN AMERICA

EV Channels Review

This video documents a road trip in the MG4 EV, a Chinese-built electric hatchback from SAIC, highlighting its surprisingly low price point in the UK market, starting around £25,000 for the standard range. The reviewer, Dave, and his wife Kathy, explore the car's features during their journey. Key observations include the car's RWD configuration across standard, long range, and extended range trims, with AWD reserved for the X Power variant. The interior is noted for its hard plastics and a somewhat basic feel, though features like heated seats and steering wheel are appreciated. Practicality is a strong suit, with ample space for luggage, though the lack of a frunk is a drawback. The navigation system experienced initial issues, but Apple CarPlay integration was functional, albeit with some quirks in climate control adjustment. Road and wind noise were noticeable on the highway, and the seats were described as firm. Despite these criticisms, the reviewer acknowledges the car's value proposition, especially for a rental or budget-conscious buyer. The overall verdict leans towards the MG4 being a competent, affordable EV, though Dave personally preferred the BYD he tested previously, citing a more substantial feel in the MG4 Long Range despite its higher price point.
