    Thinking of ordering one

    Might want to watch this before picking up a "pre-loved" Tesla 3 or Y

    VED Levy WTF!!

    Shouldn't there be quotes around "Lucozade"? :sneaky:

    Only because it has a 79kWh battery as standard

    If they hadn’t called it the XPower

    FYI - In the last 100 years, MG never released a car called the "MGE". (That might be a better name than "Cyberster", which is admittedly a very low bar)

    MG4 X-Power Orders & Delivery

    I wonder if they make little blue pills for EVs?

    If they hadn’t called it the XPower

    In China, it's called the MG4 Triumph, but I think a certain motorbike manufacturer would've objected if they called it that in the UK.

    XPower charging cable

    It's more to test that the driver knows how, than that the car can take a charge.

    MG4 X-Power Orders & Delivery

    I predict you'll be re-enacting the post-credits scene from that movie by the end of the month.

    MG4 X-Power Orders & Delivery

    They did the same at the original MG4 launch. Orange Trophys everywhere, while I waited 6 months for a blue one.

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Car sales people are "The Sun" of retail.

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    If you're at Gallagher's, that's a nice long "60mph" straight, between the pub & British Aerospace! ;)

    The third "local" dealership for us is Threeways in Abergele.

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Dealers now seem to be getting Xpower demo cars. At least mine does (Gallagher's of Sandycroft)

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Exactly why my first EV was a 2020 Zoe instead of an ID3. Renault launched the new Zoe after VW, opened the order books, took my money and delivered my car a full month before VW even announced the ID3's price! EDIT - It would've been 2 months before, but the first COVID lockdown intervened.

    MG4 X-Power waiting area

    Last guess I saw was that it would have the same 160kW / 215hp motor as the Renault Megane. The 5 is getting a cut-down version at 100kW / 135hp (same as current Zoe)

    I could be very wrong, but the horsepower numbers suggest that the front motor is the "old" 201hp one from the 64kWh Trophy, and the rear is the 230hp one from the 77kWh car.

    X-Power for £33,788

    You might be in trouble - IIRC, saying you'd signed the Official Secrets Act was itself a violation of the Official Secrets Act.

    If an EV has a "performance" version, it was likely originally designed as that version, and one motor removed for the "normal" cars.

    That's why orange Trophy owners are always getting the hard stare from PC Paddington. At first glance, it's an orange hatchback with a roof spoiler, and police thinking immediately jumps to boy racers in a Focus ST.
