MG4 2025 Old vs New
There are 3 main improvements, that MG has done in the upcoming MG4, over the current model. First, is the size. It is slightly bigger, than the current MG 4, and perceptibly more premium as well. Expect the boot space to go up to four-fifty to five hundred liters as well.
MG has achieved a weight reduction of around 150 kilos, in spite of the larger dimensions. Power has dropped by around 7 h-p, but the power to weight ratio has improved, so expect a slight improvement in performance.
MG will most probably rationalize the battery sizes to two options down from the existing three. Thanks to lower weight and aerodynamic improvements the range is also bound to increase. Plus, the rear will get fresh new styling, reminiscent of the cyberster coupe.
Last but not the least, the charging is also expected to improve to at least 150 kilowatt, if not 175, like the Geely EX5. Rest of the details are scarce at the moment, but we will update you as soon as further details emerge. For now, lets take a look at how it compares to it's archrival, the BYD Dolphin.
The biggest problem with the Dolphin is the poverty spec of it's base model. It has just ninety four horsepower and takes a yawn-inducing, 12.3 second to reach a hundred k-p-h.
Avoid it at all costs. On the other hand, the base MG has a respectable, 168 horsepower, capable of scaling the ton in 7.7 second. In the UK, the MG is significantly cheaper than the Dolphin, giving it even more of an edge over the BYD.
X-power fans must be wondering, why there's no mention of that little monster anywhere on screen. It is simply because there's no comparable model within the Dolphin range.
But for those dreaming of out-dragging a Porsche nine-eleven, or need the added grip, of an all wheel drive on icy roads, you can have it, with a slight stretch of your budget!
One takeaway for all the fellow enthusiasts here, used X-powers are already selling for less than 50 thousand dollars in Australia and 20,000 pounds in the UK. One more important advantage, that the MG holds over the Dolphin, is it's fast charging ability.
Except for the base variant, all other models of the MG charge at an impressive 140-plus kilowatts. That is 10 kilometres per minute and almost twice as fast as the Dolphin. Now, there are 2 antidotes to the MG4 in the market. First is the BYD Sea-lion 6 or Seal U, plug-in hybrid.
It has enough EV range for 90 percent of your driving needs, along with a petrol engine, to take care of the remaining 10 percent, in a two minute tank-full. Given the inadequate charging station scenario of today, buying a plug-in hybrid, is clearly a better choice, for the next five years.
If cars and infrastructure, both gets to at least 250 kilowatt of capability, only then it makes sense to switch to pure eevees. No point being a stickler, for doing the last 10 percent miles, on pure-EV, before that happens.
