I am not so sure about Semi SSB. Last year they announced one for IM L6(another company from SAIC) and I dont think it released at all. No reviews of the Semi SSB. So let us see if this time around its actually released or not.

In reply to Andra Febrian. The first 2 generations of the BMW 1 series sold well being RWD despite 99% of hatchbacks being FWD. The MG4 has provisions for the front end to be driven given the X power has 4WD but if it is the same platform it makes sense to keep the motor in the rear for simplicity and packaging as it's already packaged to be in the rear.

In reply to KNC. I just thought there's not much reason to change it given it's the same platform, unless it is necessary. Also the rivals are FWD

In reply to ptfp. Agree 100%. The exterior styling is a big step backwards. It is so bland and boring, completely lacking the aggression of the original design.

In reply to Andra Febrian. It hasn't. It remains RWD.

In reply to Andra Febrian. What? I never hear the position of charging port would determine the platform of the car. There are many FWD EV with charging port placed at the front fender, at the nose or at the rear fender. All these positions are depended from the automaker preference.

In reply to ptfp. MG don't sell well in China their ICE/Hybrid cars in CN lose 80% value within a year as no one wants them. They are only make profits abroad.

In reply to Andra Febrian. Placement of charger has nothing to do with RWD or FWD, sadly most people can't reverse into a space well and prefer to go nose in which the front charger makes easier
