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..

So anyone got their cars yet?
Loan already approved Maybank 60k 6 years 2.63%
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..

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.... Collect your car already?

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...

I suppose you're right.... We'll just wait and see... Already booked number... VMF... And bought 70mai a810 front dashcam... Appointment with carsome on Wednesday to value my Ativa.... Now every night cannot sleep waiting for car..

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?

Ancom contacted me yesterday to arrange for wallbox installation... Yay
SA says car should be here this week... Maybe they trying to ensure wallbox ready when your car comes...

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...

Would have been quite reassuring if they gave an answer like this... Doesn't look like this is available in Melaka though.. But they trying to get it repaired today... Fingers crossed..

Can imagine your disappointment. Whatever the SA or dealer said, get it in written form and not just verbal . Insist on black and white. Insist they write down repair and repaint with sane colour code even.

Don't sign any thing until they give you that. If they can't , write to SAIC Motor Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. (registered number 1476318-D) whose registered office is at Level 2, Tower 3 Avenue 7, Horizon 2, Bangsar South City, 59200 Kuala Lumpur.

Thanks...
They trying to get it repaired today so fingers crossed... Today went to check and in the sunlight you can barely notice it... So lucky that when I went check it yesterday was in part shade... Otherwise if take delivery will be more sad... Looks like an honest mistake... Poor SA had to take responsibility but must have been sunny when he received so really hard to spot...

Received my silver standard on Tuesday 30 April, charged to 100% with the Autel wallbox on Thursday night.... Friday morning travelled 170km Melaka to Eco Ardence to install tint... Used ACC 105-110kmh mostly... Arrived with 53% charge remaining.. Top up at Eco Ardence chargev dc charger to 75% before returning to Melaka...
So...
1. Range 350km on highway if you keep to 110kmh
2. ACC better implementation than the Ativa... Because of the almost instant acceleration... Easier to change to fast lane... ACC Will continue even after coming to complete stop... Ativa ACC deactivates below 30kmh...sorry can only compare to my previous car.
3. Coming from ICE, charging was quite easy using the chargev app..... Just plug in the cable, press the start charging button on the app... Stop also on app.. Received invoice almost immediately.. Was worried because it was drizzling but all OK even though no cover..
Now keep finding excuse to drive the car...

Some observations after 4 mths and 8000km ownership of standard..
Town driving on normal mode gives 14kWh/100km with range of around 360km.
OPD bumps this to 12.6 increasing the range to 400km which is pretty good.
Highway cruising at 105-110 kmh with ACC
gives 15 kWh/100km with 340km range..
Without ACC can get 13.5 increasing range to 380km..
So wltp claim quite accurate
