Video Summary
Here is a summary of the MG IM electric car review from the YouTube video:- The MG IM series, comprising the IM5 and IM6, targets the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y markets.
- The IM in MG IM stands for Intelligence in Motion.
- These cars feature 800-volt architecture enabling charging at 350 kW, surpassing Tesla and BYD.
- Performance: the dual-motor performance version has 741 horsepower, is quicker off the mark than non-long range Tesla models.
- The reviewer finds the rear visibility not great and recommends to use the rear view camera instead.
- This car possesses a tight turning circle, less than a VW Polo, aided by four-wheel steering.
- There are two battery options, the larger NMC battery chemistry, is better for long range travel.
- The interior has Tesla-inspired minimalism, including the large 21-inch panoramic screen, 10.5-inch screen, and ambient lighting, though the position of the bottom screen is not in a good spot for the reviewer.
- It includes a 3D screen visualization that seems influenced by Tesla models.
- A "nap" scene can be activated for a comfortable rest while charging.
- All models, even the entry-level ones, will be well-equipped. All synthetic-leather, the panoramic roof, and some of the tech.
- However, the reviewer finds that the air suspension is not as effective as those in Tesla or BYD, but may be an upgrade later.
- A notable feature is the 50W wireless charging system with a phone cooling fan to prevent overheating.
- All models boast a 7-year, 80,000-mile warranty, surpassing Tesla and BYD's standard offerings, but matched by KIA.
- All models can also be fitted with a magnetic storage bin.
- Reviewer prefers the interior layout of this car to the BYD Seal but feels the steering is a bit heavier than on a Tesla.
- Overall, the MG IM's features, pricing and a number of premium touches, the IM is positioned well to be a strong competitor in the EV market.
