You know what, that's slightly growing on me. (And no not like a Carbuncle)
But only, if they bring out an X Power, version.

An understated body kit, nice alloys for a wee change.

X Power bhp in the lighter chassis, it might actually go round corners nearly as fast as it goes in a straight line

Agree. There you go, we've sorted it for them. Over too you, SAIC/MG

What we going to do for the rest of the week

It's not rocket science though is it and it will.come, as batteries get lighter and more energy dense, cars can be made to handle better.

The little alpine is a good example, not the fastest and a smallish battery but apparently handles great.

They went for weight and handling over speed and distance, we will get to the stage where we eventually have all of them in a package

The online manual through the I-Smart app for my 2025 XPOWER shows it as being the new car with new interior.

It must be confused.

In China, MG have begun deliveries of the new model with the anticipated semi-solid-state battery pack.

Using an online converter it seems to reckon the 530km range from the near 52kwh LFP semi solid state battery is good for 270 miles on the wltp test.
That's pretty impressive range from that size a battery, it's a pity the car is a bit under powered (certainly compared to what we are used to 161bhp) but there is certainly a place in the market for it.
I wonder how it performs in the cold as solid state is supposed to be far better with less range loss.

My online converter says 530km = 329miles ?

Yeah but that is on CLTC testing, I converted it into miles then from CLTC to WLTP range to get 270 miles, Chinese testing is always more generous

Too complicated for me.
