MG4 model advice please

Would you now consider the ER for it's increased range or it's increased performance?
Range for me is not the deal breaker.
Probably the range, I’ve only ever had one butt clenching drive which was at the very start of my EV ownership so my planning wasn’t that great, I’ve never had range anxiety since though.

The reason I wouldn’t trade in now is that I might as well drive this car for a few years, and then most EVs will have better range and better performance anyway because they all advance so rapidly. Considering the MG4 is my first EV I’m pretty happy with my choice.

For you though, if you want power and don’t need the range, isn’t an Xpower similarly priced to the ER? I think here it’s only a few $1000 extra, but not sure if that is the case in the UK.
 
So we have an SR and an ER (AKA Excite 51 and Essence Long Range 77 here in Australia).

There's a huge difference in power between the 51 and the 77 which is absolutely as expected given 125kW / 250Nm vs 180kW / 350Nm.

The Trophy LR ( Essence 64 here) has a 150kW powered motor so some may think it isn't that much different from the ER however they are missing a key difference. The torque.

The Trophy LR only has the 250Nm of torque. So along with 30kW less power it has 100Nm less torque!!!

You will absolutely know the difference.

If there's little difference in price between the two it's an absolute no-brainer to choose the ER.

Great touring car. Our 51 is just fine around town, but for any sort of out of town and extended driving the ER is just glorious.

The ER also supports 11kW 3 phase charging which can be handy.
