I do like that it doesn’t mention being an EV in the name. About time someone made a car that doesn’t have ‘e’ in it’s name. Interesting looks. Not sure if the very large headlights are fog lights or the normal dipped/full beam or if it’s the tiny slits higher up. Looks great inside but for me the centre screen seems to be on an odd angle.

What is the maximum power output specification of its V2L?

That’s the feeling I have about most modern car designs whether that is electric or ICE, the speedometer seems to be an afterthought and is either too small for easy reading on the move, and/or isn’t clear and legible to help you stay within the limits. Even when it’s a standard round speedometer with a needle, there is a tendency to show the speed in increments of 20’s and not 10’s (ie 20/40/50/80 rather than 10/20/30/40 etc) which makes it harder to read and takes your eyes off the road for longer than is necessary.

There are times when you have to glance away from the road quickly, such as in congested traffic, so to actually see the needle at 30 (and not a dash/vaguely marked space that's usually between 20 & 40) makes the difference to whether you are driving within the speed limit; or not.

I don't like it. I prefer the 5 EV and it's subtle and understated style. I find the trend of designing sporty and fussier cars so dull and out of place. With that design comes bigger wheels, harder suspensions and lower ride height and that has nothing to do with real world driving.

Hi from Paris I would like to know what kind technology of the battery with the model ZS EV and Marvel R ? Lithium ion or LFP ?? Thanks you

Watching this, I have to say I’m really happy I went with MG ZS EV.

A lot of car for the money, tri-motor AWD, 70kWh, 0-100kp/h 4.9secs. I have an MG HS PHEV currently, interested in the marvel R as my next car.

MG are in the top 10 car manufacturers in Australia by sale. Who would have thought we would ever see that.

Looking at an EV. Watched this and subbed. So its time to go trawling through the content. Just so expensive at the moment but its the future. Excellent content 👌

Mutable beeps, for real? That'd be huge. KIA EV6 seems to beep like it's a friggin' symphony rehearsal

What happened to the front.?? Those big triangular parts will surely reduce range due to trapping air pressure.

What color is this in? Night watch grey? :)

They have some for display in stores in Norway. Just a few day, then onward to the next, no test driving yet.

Loving the look and design 🙂 Unfortunately no real boot space (from what I could see) and such a low towing weight 😧 When you consider a small two berth caravan will probably average around 950kg (unbraked) and 1200kg (braked)

What does VTL stand for?

I want to know who that doing the whistling song was at the start and end, I want to get that song. Shouldn’t that be in the credits somewhere??

Interesting video...

In China, as long as the car is towing rated by manufacture before putting onto the market, then it is legal to tow on public roads. That's why most domestically made cars in China now have official towing rates.

So a direct comparison to the new Leafs then, about the same size and prize. Smaller boot but with frunk about the same storage

Thank you for showcasing the new MG coming to Europe. And how disgusting gloss black looks in the interior once the car is in use. Do you know if the marvel badges on the front seats actually are Tablet holder slots for second row? Also can you point me towards a source for towing being illegal in China? That would explain quite a bit. Thanks.

Prefer the outside to the inside but overall pretty cool car.

Nice review. Sorry it is was not suitable for a soccer dad with a ton of sportbags every weekend. Can you get hold of the upcoming MG5 in its chinese version? Maybe that one will do it.

Can it load a big buggy in the back without the seeds down? does it have true one pedal driving? Does it have mg pilot? What is the safety rating ( MG'S ACHILLIS heel except the ZS EV )? Impressive charging speed. Driving speed should be very easy to see at any moment in a convenient safe position.Nice steering wheel. Nice inside and outside look. True real life range will be a make or break but SUV'S have a hard time getting 215 miles plus range for an affordable price. Anyhow we will see how the EU / UK version will be adjusted to the new audience. Could sell sell these in the UK but they would need to have a very good overall package / stats / price to cpmpete. I would not want to compete against the KIA NIRO which is similar & an exceptional good EV with an outstanding warranty & crash test results. One of the best imo. Will be hard to have an edge on them that is good enough to make potential customers pick them.
