Guessing it doesn’t fit because of the front motor, although the Cyberster GT has a bigger battery I believe on the same platform.
Are you sure you didn’t have a 4 series M Sport, not an M4? No M4 has ever had just 280bhp.
yes, I did know what I was buying. 160 miles from a 64kwh battery is ridiculous. You can get over 300 miles out of a 64kwh battery in other cars, and well over 200 miles from a 50kwh battery too. So being condescending here really doesnt work. Also, it absolutely is not a city car. It’s a family sized hatchback, not a super mini. The Renault5, Mini Cooper E or Honda E are city cars. Not a 5 door MG4 with a 64kwh battery.
A car that’s capable of going from a standing start to 60 in sub 4 seconds absolutely should have uprated brakes, suspension, tyres etc. otherwise it’s not safe. That’s a crazy statement.
there are entire sports and car classes designed to see which cars go round corners fastest, and manufacturers spend millions trying to get cars to corner quickly, smoothly and safely.280HP - disappointed with the acceleration, I did some software tuning. And as I mentioned, this is a city car, like the entire MG4 series, you can see that right away, xpower is only for crazy people.Are you sure you didn’t have a 4 series M Sport, not an M4?

And who doesn’t want to drive fast in corners? It’s what makes driving fun. How on earth is that suicidal?
The XPower corners well anyway, it’s pretty flat and surprisingly good. But it does get a bit sketchy when you go a bit too fast - if you’ve owned a BMW M4 you’d notice the difference in handling immediately, if you don’t, I’m sorry but you should never have bought an M4!
So, where are the curves in the city? There are almost none. Where in the city do you drive at maximum speed? Nowhere. Where in the city do you use super acceleration? Many times a day. This car is not for you, but it's perfect for me. I don't regret the purchase at all, and it meets my needs perfectly.
I'm confused here, are you for or against the XPower?280HP - disappointed with the acceleration, I did some software tuning. And as I mentioned, this is a city car, like the entire MG4 series, you can see that right away, xpower is only for crazy people.
Small battery, small trunk, not very comfortable for long trips, ELECTRIC – these are not disadvantages for me, because for me these are the characteristics of a city car. I have another car for family trips. I just wanted to point out that buying a car with a set of advantages and disadvantages must be a conscious decision. It's like complaining about my old BMW because it wasn't suitable for family driving, was noisy, and had high fuel consumption. Were these disadvantages? No, it was a conscious choice. So this review of the xpower, most of its “disadvantages,” is just a description of bad, ill-considered choice.
The MG4 doesn’t have a ‘small battery’
it’s not a city car. Just like your ‘280bhp’ BMW was not an M4. Just because YOU drive yours in the city, doesn’t make it a city car. I’ve driven a Mini Cooper through a flooded road, it didn’t make it a boat…
The MG 4 is definitely not a city car, if that was the case they wouldn't have made the urban or be developing the MG 2. What's that going to be a small city car?
Most of the flaws you mentioned are along the lines of “I chose a car with a small battery—I complain that the car has a small battery.” I understand that you evaluate a car before buying it and then say, “Hmm, this xpower has a small battery, so I won't buy it,” but as it turned out, you made a bad choice consciously and you mention it as a disadvantage. Similarly, I am curious about your opinion on the brakes. I don't believe you experienced any problems with the brakes; you probably just don't like the discs being too small compared to, say, a Lamborghini? Why don't you just write, “I bought an xpower and was surprised that it has so many disadvantages compared to the Tycan.” I chose it as a car for commuting to work and short trips, and it's great for that purpose. We chose the same car, but you chose poorly and I chose perfectly.The MG4 doesn’t have a ‘small battery’
I’m glad you’re happy with your car. Congratulations. A little confused as to how you’ve mentioned owning two cars and got the model wrong on your old car and the car class wrong on your current car.
I think I’ll take my car buying tips from somebody other yourself, thanks
My first car, bought with my own money, was cheap, small, slow, and great for any trip. Now that I can be picky and accurately assess my needs, the MG4 only meets the requirements of a city car. Of course, you can drive it all over Europe if you really want to.
Thanks for your astute observation, I wish I was as intelligent as you think you are.
To be fair you are entitled to class it how you like but we all know it's not a city car, similarly EV wise 64 kWh battery is not a small battery, it is now pretty much average
Didn't mean using the 0-60 was irresponsible, that's exactly why you get one, was meaning using it within a built up area was irresponsibleAgree, it's definitely not a city car, it's too big, simple's.
Don't quite agree, with if you use the 0-60
which let's face it, is the X Power's, party piece, you are irresponsible. Absolutely depends where you use it. As you say in a
built up area, busy traffic etc, then yes you are a numpty. But you ain't gonna buy an
X Power and not exploit it's acceleration, (safely) else what's the point.
Also agree you could have 5 exact cars, and they'll all behave differently. We've proved that on this forum.
