The MG 4 XPower electric hot hatch is potentially getting a new accessory pack intended to add some visual spice. Does it improve the formula for this 3.8-second 0-100km/h hot hatch?

If its supplied new on delivery the extras should get the full warranty
MG have been pimping this car around to a few reviewers for some time now ..
I have the 2023 build MG4 X power ( yes with the vibe MG are dragging there heals to fix ) ive got the H&R lowered springs waiting to be fitted ( after the fix ) wheels are pointless upgrade accept for look ..
After 21000km done i had to replace the stock tyres the SINGLE biggest improvement ive done is change to Michelin pilot sport 5 tyres .. 100% better these should be standard fitment on all X powers ..
Stock tyres are rubbish and argument could be made that the stock tyres will give you more range but the claimed 400km range is part BS anyway best ive done is 250km round trip 100% to 10% in normal mode .. eco mode might make 400km at but reducing the power to standard MG4 power at which point why even buy the X power!!
The body kit looks good basically imported from Thailand which im very interested in fitting to my car at some point ..
Personally forget the overpriced pointless wheels offer the body kit , lowered springs , and slap some Michelin pilot sport 5s on there charge around the $2000aud price point maybe $2500 with fitting and you will have a much better hot hatch !!
I would like to see better hugging seats but MG cant offer that !!
Those number plate screw!
I love it ! Looks Great 😊
I like how it looked lowered, make it much more like a hot hatch. They should definifely make it standard on all XPower
WTF… only 12 month warranty…. no one should buy it.
Being a hot hatch fan, Here I was looking at it with keen interest, and then finding out it's prices way too high and has a ridiculously inadequate warranty of 12 months.
I mean, when was the last time a car was offered with only 12 months warranty…?
A big no from me. Too expensive, will be a depreciation disaster, design quirks, poor spares and tech support.
Actually took a look at one of these. Going fast is about all it's got going for it. The bolt on caliper covers hiding base model calipers is an interesting touch.
If the wheels are lighter then I’d buy them as a reduction in unsprung weight I’d alway a good thing plus you can always change the tyres to a stickier compound (even if your range might suffer) which has not been a factor for performance cars. I’d buy one. As per current racing lines it’s a quick in and out of corners approach today for F1 and MotoGP. No longer is holding corner speed a huge priority.
You also don’t sound like you’ve spent time on Autobahn’s. Where a less powerful car isn’t limited to its top speed like these. It will accelerate quickly however still be in a slower lane.
The way I look at it is simple. Take the old HSV cars. You were basically paying extra for engine enhancements, driveline improvements and the cabin was similar (better seats?). Similar to the XPower, where the additional money goes to giving you even more performance. It worked then and I don’t think it needs to be complained about now as the cars would simply cost more. Simple.
Two reasons why I can't buy this car: 1. Wireless charging bay not deep enough to stop phone from flying around the cabin. MG make it deeper or raise the sides of the area to stop the phone from flying. 2. This is the BIG reason – the driver's display is way too small. It looks like it's for a toy car. I'm not spending over $50k to look at such a small driver display. It's a joke, it's embarrassing. How much more would a 10 or 12 inch screen cost?? A couple of hundred dollars. MG, that is disgraceful. Fix it, if you want to be taken seriously, and you will sell a lot more MG4s and MG3s. And finally, I would definitely pay for the sport extras if the car handles better.
The interior needs update like the new MG ES5. Exterior is fine as it is.
Get a demo and the saving will more then cover the cost of these accessories.
Auto tailgate is a must!!
Also ambient lighting and sequential indicators. MG you can do better please.
no voice control then?
Chinese party shite
This is looking really nice. Was interested in this car but with this new look I will 100 percent buy one if it come to the market for sure. Think they should go with 19s though
