Taller, and wider with slightly shorter wheelbase but by and large similar dimensions

Similar HP, better torque and faster century spin, and boy , never thought to see it so soon in 2024, similar price of RM12xk

The equipments and spec are very also very similar

Also win over Mazda CX3 and Mazda CX30

Nah, not going to impact the Honda's sale figures since we are brand conscious...might convert those from BaoTeng though...

Funny you have mentioned Brand, do you know how old MG brand is and how old Honda is.?


One is 1920s and another 1950s, but I agree not many are actually really brand " conscious " and realize that

EV ? Nah...where is the RV

j/k

More China cars.........LOL

The design is quite old school in my eyes, not unlike the Corolla Cross.
HRV or even WRV look fresher.

You see how long the queue at sushi restaurant vs fish & chips restaurant you know which one more popular already

Also one is an original company that still exist, another is just the name, the original company is no more since like the 1970s

Mini is owned by German BMW
Rolls-Royce also by German BMW
Bentley is owned by another German Volkswagen AG
Jaguar and Landrover is owned by Tata Group of India
Volvo (The Swedish), Lotus, Proton and Smart and many more are owned by Geely Group of China..


SAIC , the numero uno (number 1) car company in China who owns MG is much bigger company than Geely who owns Volvo, Lotus and Smart, how big?



So your point being?

Same feeling here, I will not be attracted by it at all, even at below RM100k mark.

However, I do feel that the BYD Seagull is nice on (my) eyes, if that is being offered at say below RM80k mark (after 2025) then there is a good chance I will get an EV.

Below RM80k spot is reserved for P1 and P2 bro

between this two brands , in malaysia still people will go for honda , because it's honda .. even though MG might be better

Protection is up to 2025 IINM

Ford or Peugeot and so many also longer history than Honda.

Already have an ICE for long distance. If cheap enough, no harm getting a small EV just for town usage, when petrol subsidy removed. Cheap to run, easy to park. Best of both world.

Don't want battery toy car. No, thank you.

Looks is subjective.

People also don't buy car based on looks alone, but they don't. Some care about boot space and HR-V small boot space of 335 L actually makes some take Corolla Cross because it has a bigger boot of 433 L

MG ZS boot space is bigger than these 2, so it's boot usability is more practical

Some also complained about Honda having long queues at the service centres with horrendous service level.these days.

UMW services has also deteriorated, truth be told, I have owned both T&H cars before, so I can speak from experience.

Now UMW has been acquired by Sime Darby, honestly I worry this the most.

So MG will be at least an alternative for both T &H, or even Mazda served by Bermaz which I can also tell you Bermaz Service is nothing to shout about.

Being an EV require less things to service, so that helps in MG's favour.

Yet, it is the younger brand like BYD and Tesla now rocking the world.

MG wants to return as FULL EV brands as alternative these two : BYD and Tesla

So we can either live in the old world or rock and roll it in the new one

2025 is the start of the protection, how many long years will it be protected still, do u have that answer?

I certainly think it will remain for years to come because another one to protect is P1 a.k.a Proton.

MG is CN. CN mostly copied tech from European cars and sometimes inherited the same problems. The Europeans were too lazy to fix them.

Honda is Jap tech and very refined and reliable for years already. No stupid sensors or extra ECUs doing something in the background crap.
