In reply to Mike. More and more MG cars can be spotted in London as we speak

This won’t sell good in Europe because now other brands is attacking for customers hard.

And if price is the same as more famous brands people will buy them instead.

Hello John,I had the chance to test drive this very model some two weeks ago in Guangzhou. It is the real next step after ZS EV:same feeling on board,same buttons.(my car is a ZS EV)
I don’t know how the European version will come but the top of trim es5 that I tested did not convince me,it felt underpowered.
As for your requests,the Chinese version did not respond:no frunk,no premium audio system,no ambient lighting.
Yes for back seats reading lights.
I don’t know about Plug&Charge or OTA.

It seems like a very interesting car for the segment, definitely better than Byd Atto 3 (rear wheel drive, one pedal, etc.).

I hope the European version will have:
– Compatibility with the Plug&Charge standard
– Interior ambient light
– Frunk. It is unacceptable that a car with an electric platform does not have it
– OTA updates for infotainment and the possibility of installing apps
– Possibility of installing a premium audio system
– Initial availability with different engines
