In the mid-1920s, the automobile company MG (Morris Garages) was founded. Since then it has changed several owners and is currently owned by SAIC Motor Corporation Limited. Now it has introduced its most powerful model ever produced, the MG4 EV Xpower.
The new model is based on a modular platform developed by SAIC Motor. It is decorated with a black painted roof, orange calipers, 18-inch wheels and a special light green color. It will debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK.
When it comes to the powertrain, the MG4 EV Xpower is powered by two electric motors (one at the front with 204 hp/ and one at the rear axle with 231 hp/) with a total power of 435 hp and 600 Nm of torque. It has AWD which allows the electric MG to reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 3.8 seconds. For now, MG has not revealed the top speed of this EV, nor what battery it will be equipped with.
The car is equipped with a dynamic control system, which is a first for an MG model. It has an electronic differential lock and an intelligent engine management module, which results in a torque vectoring system and better handling. Compared to the regular MG4 EV, the new model has a 25% stiffer suspension, thanks to changes to the dampers and springs, as well as stiffer anti-roll bars. There are also new better brake components with ventilated 345mm discs on all wheels.
Before the premiere, MG announced that the MG4 EV Xpower will cost 42,500 euros.
