Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:- The MG4 X-Power is the most expensive version of one of the cheapest EVs.
- It has super car acceleration, which is silly, but it’s not silly in a charming way.
- The standard MG4 was a total game changer. When it arrived in late 2022, there were no sub 30,000 GBP electric cars with room for four adults and good range.
- All of the features that made the MG4 great are still present in the X-Power.
- It has an electric car architecture and proper space in the front and the back.
- The X-Power has heated features, wireless charging, and phone connectivity.
- The cabin is clean and simple, and the steering wheel is great.
- One con is its less than premium touching points, and a sluggish and cumbersome infotainment system.
- The X-Power costs 36,495 GBP.
- Negatively, the car has a slightly frumpy appearance, it’s boxy, with weird jutty-outy bits, and the back-end is a little troubling.
- For the base version of the MG4, it’s okay in terms of look, but for the X-Power version, it’s underwhelming. It does have orange caliper covers.
- The point of the car, outside of motorbikes, is there is nothing that goes faster from a standing start for less money.
- But the cars acceleration and straight-line speed without any handling to match is just a party trick. The car doesn’t have handling and tactility.
- It just goes in a straight line very fast.
- One minor point, the steering assist is homicidal, and is always back on when you get in.
- Another minor detail is that you need to push the top of the screen to turn the dash board lights on or off. The infotainment screen is too sluggish.
- The reviewer would not recommend this car, but would recommend the regular version of the MG4 instead.
- Acceleration without handling is just a part trick, and making going slow fun is important, which is what the CaRICE TC2 represents. The X-Power is the polar opposite, it makes going very quickly quite dull.
- There should be less horsepower and more effort put into tactility of these cars.
