Video Summary
Here's a summary of the electric car review video:- The model reviewed is an MG Marvel R Performance with a triple motor and two-speed gearbox.
- The interior features better materials than some competitors.
- The driver can feel the gear changes.
- It has a claimed range of 280km, but is known to be “thirsty.”
- It includes the MG Pilot system, which performs remarkably well.
- Ride quality is better than some competitors, helped by a 2.8m wheelbase, which is 22 cm longer than some comparable models.
- A slight uphill on this trip is somewhat offset by tailwinds.
- The infotainment system is noted as super laggy, not reacting or responding to input well.
- The Marvel R’s extended sun visor is highlighted as a convenient feature.
- The car won’t show energy usage higher than 30 kWh/100km.
- The test car has acoustic glass in the front and double-glazed windows.
- At 120 km/h, the cabin is quiet, a result of excellent soundproofing.
- The vehicle's weight is legitimate, 2100 kg
- The base sounds very crisp.
- The reviewer rates the base sound system a 5, stating it needed a little more depth
- At 120km/h there is very little regenerative braking effect.
- The energy consumption is high, in the range of other, larger vehicles with less power and efficiency.
- The review finds triple-motor over-engineered and not very efficient.
- Review notes that the controls for music are on one side of the steering wheel, but to control the trip meter, a person must use the other side of the steering wheel.
