The MG 4 standard really don't have a normal reverse camera? I know the rest has 360 camera. Would be perfect if the standard has reverse camera plus blind spot.

nope... can buy from aliexpress

Yeah, the Lux won't bring a lot of range onto the table because the battery is NMC which are recommended to charge up to 80% only. If charge once in a while for long trip is okay but if frequently charge will reduce the lifespan of the battery quickly. The LFP on the standard version can be charged to 100%.

8 yr battery warranty... 1:1 replacement if degrade <70%

faster kong is better no?... lol... but imho no issue unless lemon unit...

Went for a test drive in Melaka and made a booking for silver standard... Good value as first ev and especially for my use which is 95% melaka town.. My Ativa monthly petrol bill around RM250 for 1.6-1.8k km... Estimate home charging around 300kwh which should cost RM150....RM 100 saving which should increase another RM150 when they remove the subsidy... Not much.. But it drives so much better than the Ativa... Always wanted rwd... Nice that Malaysian  model comes with rear wiper and grab handles so the Mrs is happy.... Bummer that side mirrors can't fold... Kumho tyres... The other 18" get continental.. Need decent tinting since inside all black.... Other models at least get privacy glass... But overall great value... Saw first unit delivered to customer yesterday... Silver lux..

congrats... book mine without test drive... lol...

i dont want rear wipers actually... i have never ever needed to use it...

That's interesting. I would expect RM250 to register 400km-600km in city driving conditions. To be able to get an additional 1000km is really something.

Anyway congratulations on the new MG4. It does look like the best value EV with regard to looks and performance. The exterior of the mg4 looks better than other EVs in the same segment such as Byd Atto/Dolphin.

his number is reasonable... about 16 sen per km...

my diesel about 14 sen... hybrid 9 sen...

The Perodua Ativa is not a diesel or hybrid and is just a common NA or turbo engine isn't it?
*
1L turbo petrol... diesel/hybrid prices is just to give you some other references

your estimate 250/600= 42 sen per km... is really high

SA in Melaka seem clueless.. Keep saying car already in Malaysia... But can't even give estimate ETA
Free Wall charger only for those registered this month.... So if car doesn't come this month will probably cancel..

i wonder if the Lux variant is worth getting as a day to day car - the range of 400+km seems acceptable over the Extended version that cost a fair bit more

extended got more powerful motor...

dunno what you mean... waifu send kids to school... or you genting run because work there... both also day to day car...

best is go test drive it yourself 1st... then you have an unbiased 1st impression...

by all means follow up with watching/reading reviews... and go for 2nd or more test drive to see if anything is a deal breaker...

cars from different batch and different countries may be spec slightly differently hence some of the review comments are invalid... also reviewers can be bias...

Bro... Did they tell you get free wall charger only if register car by 30th April? I paid booking fee on 9th April and until now SA cannot tell when can get car or if qualify for the free wall charger... What's stopping them from delivering your car on 1st May just so that no need give you the free wall charger..
Crap.. I'll cancel if they do this..
*
i book before launching... at the time sa no idea got any freebies or not

after launching sa says first 200 cars only... but papers say book before 30th... didn't ask more because irrelevant to me

sa says they targeting volume sales... so trying to push as many cars out as possible... so i doubt they try to cheat you out of a wallbox... because car very popular everywhere, and is cbu... later bookings hard to confirm when to get allocation...

anyways wb given by mg... best call mg to find out lor... they try to relaunch the brand here and opening more and more showrooms... i think they will honor the wb...

thanks for sharing your opinion.

i think this is doable with a little bit of planning. i’ve test driven the Lux variant yesterday i am quite pleased with the car’s handling, performance and comfort. the only gripe i have is the rims.. those plastic covers are quite tacky.

i am thinking of keeping it within the range of 20%-80% too although my SA told me that 100% is not an issue whether its LFP or NMC, but i highly doubt it. even if i want to charge it to 100%, i don’t think i can because i live in a condo with a public charger 🥲

lux has faster ac and dc charging... also bigger battery more flexibility...

when go shopping/movies... park n charge at ev stations for now usually empty... no need go round n round looking for spot... wink.gif

city driving - 12 kwh/100km
airport run - 15 kwh/100km... so, x 60 sen/kwh x 96km roundtrip = rm 8.65... use up 26% of my 50kwh battery...

sa says this week got another shipment... he also expects this week to hit 100 bookings... lol...

ancom says they have 200 wallbox in warehouse... autel maxichargers, not some chapalang brand...

just now check mg malaysia website... it does say booking and registration by 30th... i think its unfair if its mg fault cannot meet delivery for registration... any updates?

personally speaking based on the spec sheet, the Lux extended consider sweet spot.

because real world range might be less than 500km (probably within 430-450km) compared to Lux with 430km on paper (which assume could be less than 400km)
*
ya... imho either standard or extended...

so far getting >wltp with 1st charge... after phase 1 deterioration i think should settle down nicely to wltp numbers for standard

6.1s century run is really sweet for the extended... but 150k really need to think hard...

So guys,
Car came yesterday 2pm and when I we went to check, found a small dent the size of 20 sen coin on the front left fender... So pretty disappointed... They say will send to get it repaired but not sure if they will get the colour right...
Puspakom inspection Friday afternoon so JPJ registration on Monday...
Now keep asking me pay balance...
Should they get the dent repaired first before asking me to pay the balance... Or maybe I should retain say1k until they get it repaired?
All in all, really sad experience.... Can I cancel the order even though car is already here?
*
probably paintless dent repair... pull/knock it even... if the kung fu good you won't find it again...
