Eagle-eyed viewers will notice our price on screen is a few hundred quid short of the actual price. To confirm, it is £37,115, as shown elsewhere. Anyway, would you take the ID.3 over the MG4?
Mat Watson from carwow: verdict on the MG4 and VW ID3 Should you Avoid it Consider it Shortlist it Buy it As for the VW ID3, shortlist it. However, for the MG4, go right ahead and by it!
MG4 also has a far longer warranty period. VW are trying to get round the difference in price by offering superb finance deals but it still looks bland but I think those who like the brand will buy the brand those who want a cheap first or second EV the MG4 will take a bit of beating - When BYD launches the Dolphin in the UK VW ID3 will have another competitor to go up against. Also with the Volvo EX30 and Smart #1 also coming in the next few months I think ID3 is dead
The reason VW ID cars haven't been selling in China is due to Internet connectivity, which is a higher level there. VW has since addressed this issue. Of course, the prices we pay in Europe are much higher than the prices in China.
They focus on retail price but it's depreciation that we pay for. The residual value of the VW after 4 years will be much higher. Battery degradation is high in MGs because their thermal battery management is nowhere near as good as VWs.
there is a BIG issue with the ID3. is there is NO Tow HOOK for house owners.. they need to remove garden despose. so the missing TOW HOOK is a BIG deal Breaker.

As tested that VW was £48020. That’s loads more, the MG4 is an obvious choice there.
Difficult to beat MG4 these days
Hi, I’m Mat Watson, and your watching CarWhat??
It’s still flawed and far too expensive.
MG4 every time

Ridiculous price.
So about £10k more than it should be, no wonder it’s not selling in China!

MG4 X Power for me 🚦🚀
We're timing one on our track in Sep. Keep a look out for our video 😆
Only 2.8 miles per kWh!
I have an ID.3 and I have averaged 4.17miles/kWh over 7,600 miles of a mix of motorway, A & B roads.
