Video Summary
Here is a summary of the YouTube video:The MG4 Excite 51 is priced similarly to a mid-range Toyota Corolla, offering ample driving range for a working week and plenty of space and style. It is the second cheapest EV in Australia, listing at $38,990 before on-road costs. The "51" in the name refers to the battery size.
Exterior features include 17-inch alloy wheels, LED lighting, and electric wing mirrors. The interior includes a 10.25-inch infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a 7-inch instrument cluster. The seats are cloth, the driver’s seat adjusts manually, and it has a four-speaker stereo.
MG describes the MG4 as a hot hatch, with an angular front end, traditional hatch body style, boot lip spoiler, and LED lights that cut into the bodywork.
Although the cabin looks clean, the materials used are rock hard and cheap.
There is plenty of back-seat room for two passengers, with a lack of a traditional tunnel running through the center of the cabin. There’s a single USB port for the rear passengers to share, and 2 cup holders and USB ports in the front. However, there is thoughtful storage in the front and rear.
MG claims an almost perfect weight distribution and rear-wheel drive. The motor makes 125kW and 250Nm, delivering a sprint to 100km/h of 7.7 seconds, which feels faster. The power is smooth and constant without the revving and angry gearboxes.
The 51kWh battery produces a 350km driving range, though 330km is a more realistic on-screen result. The MG4 has a full five stars from Euro NCAP. The base model gets the brand's Pilot Safety Suite, including active emergency braking and adaptive cruise control.
Every two years or 40,000km, the service interval will take place. The first service cost around $300, and the second costs about $800. This electric vehicle has a smooth, calming driving experience, and it doesn’t feel as though one is driving something cheap.
This review rates the car an 8.1/10.
