"Thank you for your patience with regards to your MG 4 Pre-order. I’m pleased to report that we are expecting to receive our demonstrator MG later next week alongside our first batch of customer cars which will be available for delivery W/C 26th September. We are attending the official MG Dealer training event next week and will then be hands-on with our own car, providing some video content which we will share.
We will be contacting those who have an order matching our initial allocation over this coming weekend to firm up the deal and confirm whether a car from this first batch is suitable.
For those not in the first batch, which unfortunately given the mix of the first cars we’ve been allocated, is likely a large proportion of people, we do have some good news.
We have learned the expected factory order lead time for the MG 4 is as follows;
MG 4 Standard Range – 8 weeks
MG 4 Long Range – 16 weeks
For those who pre ordered before the MG ordering system opened and their order was placed within seconds of the system opening up, the logic would suggest with 4 weeks having passed since this date, we should be no more than 12 weeks away from seeing the cars arrive into the UK. Assuming a car isn’t available from the 2nd batch of launch stock we’re expecting in November (and as yet, we don’t know what’s on this), it would suggest we should be looking to deliver orders in late December/early January for Long Range and even sooner for Standard Range."
