Point of note: The touchscreen works just fine if you use the tip of your finger, rather than the entire top part of your finger.

This car is going to give quite a few car company bosses a few headaches. I sense some price reductions coming soon.
Well done MG! An affordable EV at last.

1.The Trophy has leveled boot bottom.
2. Regen could be done by the custom steering wheel botton
👍

I've got an old mg3 and the interior is shocking 🤣 definitely upping their game.

[TeslaBulldotcom]

Good thing about MG is that they don’t really have a large Ice business to destroy so they can crack on without the risk of bankrupting themselves and alienating their existing customers. If they can make them with profit at the right price VW and PSA need to watch out.

Saw one of these and was surprised how big it was, seemed really spacious inside. Amazing how far MG have come

[yggdrasil]

Can't wait for this car to go mass market and starting pushing the price further down.

[AndrewKNI]

A superb car and should bring electric motoring to the masses, at last!

[drumsmichael]

Thanks for this review! Glad someone is reviewing the standard version of the MG4. Cheers

[lowvisionlounge]

Great car. Looks a little bit like the Kona from the front and the Leaf from the rear. The side profile and lights are very smart. This is a real EV industry disruptor and it'll do very well.

Citroen has shot itself in the foot. Now MG is finishing the job

[bryanduncan]

Tish, you need to use the favourite button on the steering wheel (the one with the stars) - that way you can set one to air con and the other to regen level and not go via the screen! Did you try the voice commands at all?

[tangalooma]

This is the one. Could still be closer to the 200 rather than 300 mark for monthly payments, but I’ve been waiting for a car like this. Let’s hope it’s actually available unlike most others!

[karlclark]

Good review Tish . Just one thing they are wheel covers only... the alloys are underneath. Love your work though👍

[jonathantaylor]

This much more affordable EV deserves to sell by the bucket-load...!
£26k and a 7 year warranty...
The legacy manufacturers should be rightly rattled - they've been pushing nothing but over-priced, overly-excessive SUVs that your average buyer could never possibly afford... all in the name of their profits...
Finally, MG has shown that a quality, perfectly day-to-day usable range EV can be sold at near-enough price parity to the established ICE marques...
Ford Focus @ £24, 500 & a 3 yr warranty
Vauxhall Astra @ £24, 800 & a 3 yr warranty
VW Golf @ £25, 600 & a 3 yr warranty

slightly confused why MG seem to have fitted all the press demo cars with the bright red USB cable. Assume its a selling point to highlight for them but while its a neat little tidying thing, its also ugly with dangly cables so I’d have toned that down

[TomsManShed]

Good review but at 3:25 she says "no hub caps here"..."it gets alloys in this 2 tone are in fact plastic wheel covers with standard silver alloys underneath just like the facelift ZS.

Also the Trophy does have an adjustable height boot floor (confirmed by Miles Roberts of Chorley Group MG on the recent podcast)

At 6:50 she calls it an MG3 easy slip of the tongue though :)

Nice to see close ups of the up/down buttons on the steering wheel not seen in most other reviews thumbs up

[leonardmills]

What is it about touch screens? To operate the climate controls or the re-gen settings you have to take your eyes off the road to see where you are placing your fingers. Why not just have conventional switches that you can feel and don't have to look at?

[williamarmstrong]

absulutly nothing wrong with MG5 wheels. They keep the car off the ground which is their purpose. Style is a personal thing, I far prefer function over style.

[slavko]

I like your reviews, you objectively cover all of the bases and also add your opinion which is interesting to hear.
