According to reports, the new car that rolled off the assembly line this time is the NEW MG4 ELECTRIC Thailand Edition. Thailand’s Prime Minister Saitha participated in the offline ceremony and took a test drive of the convertible pure electric sports car MG Cyberster. At the same time, the local’s first in-depth real estate battery also officially rolled off the production line.

Thai Prime Minister Saitha said that the local government still needs to vigorously promote the local production of core components for electric vehicles, cultivate the construction of the local electric vehicle industry chain, and pay attention to subsequent issues such as the recycling of electric vehicle batteries.

Comprehensive it was previously reported that Chinese automobile brands that have entered the Thai market include Changan Automobile, Nezha Automobile, BYD Automobile, Great Wall Motors, GAC Aian, etc.

Changan Automobile previously announced that the company’s “right-hand drive production base” in Thailand will be put into production in 2024, with a production capacity of 100,000 vehicles in the first phase and will increase to 200,000 vehicles in the second phase.

According to the September delivery status announced by Hozon Auto last month, the cumulative delivery of all Hozon Auto models in Thailand has exceeded 10,000 units, entering the “10,000-unit club” of the single overseas market.

In addition, BYD’s Seal and ATTO 3, Great Wall’s Tank 300, Tank 500 and Ora Good Cat, Haval H6, and GAC Aion’s AION Y Plus have all successively landed in the Thai market, and some models are expected to gradually achieve localized production locally.

According to SAIC Motor, sales in continental Europe exceeded 50,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 160%; sales in the UK were nearly 50,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 64%. Europe has become the first “100,000-level” overseas market for the MG brand, and its products have been sold in 38 countries including the UK, France, Germany, Spain, and Italy.

MG4 Electric officially landed on the European market in September this year, and has received more than 20,000 orders within three months of its launch. SAIC expects to enter more than 80 countries around the world by 2023. At present, the MG brand has built more than 790 stores in Europe.

As a new pure electric model, MG MG MULAN is built based on SAIC Nebula architecture, equipped with a new super electric drive system and Rubik’s Cube battery, and will be launched in September this year.

In terms of power, MG MULAN provides two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive versions, and is divided into three power versions and corresponding three cruising ranges. Among them, the power system includes a 125kW single motor + 51kWh battery version, a 150kW single motor + 64kWh battery version, a total power of 315kW dual motor + 64kWh battery version, and the corresponding cruising ranges are 425km, 520km and 460km respectively.

But while the EZS is essentially an electric version of an existing combustion engine model, the MG4 EV is a new design based on the parent company’s Modular Scalable Platform – known as the Nebula platform in China – that is said to offer advantages in terms of flexibility, space utilization, safety, driving experience, weight reduction and advanced technology.

The platform is scalable and can support wheelbases from 2,650 to 3,100 mm, meaning vehicles from hatchbacks to saloons and SUVs to vans may be in view.

It also features the One Pack battery solution with battery arrangements ranging from 40 kWh to 150 kWh and a pack height of just 110 mm, the flattest battery SAIC has ever developed and reportedly the thinnest in its class.

“In the One Pack battery system developed by SAIC, the projected area of all cells on the modular scalable platform is the same; so are the connectors associated with the other components,” said SAIC’s Zhu Jun. “With this design concept, it is theoretically possible to easily realize batteries from 40 kWh to 150 kWh. It can meet the energy needs of A0 to D-class models and provide users with flexible and diverse options. Users can buy a small battery up front, then replace and upgrade when they need longer range.”

MG says the MSP architecture is also somewhat future-proof in that it already allows for OTA updates, and possibly future upgrades include fast charging from 400-V to 800-V, building a platform for battery swap services and equipping for autonomous driving.

For the five-door MG4 EV, all this means that the car will dominate the European C-segment with a length of 4287 mm, a width of 1836 mm and a height of 1504 mm. There are two battery capacities available at launch – a 51 kWh pack with a WLTP range of 350 km per charge and a 64 kWh version that extends the range to 450 km, but other models may be added later.

The lower capacity One Pack is paired with a 125 kW motor, while the larger battery pack is combined with a 150 kW motor. Either way, the rear-wheel-drive hatchback is said to be capable of a 100-kilometer sprint in under eight seconds and a top speed of 160 km/h, while the 50:50 weight distribution allows for better handling, more direct steering action and faster cornering.

The outgoing electric hatch features somewhat aggressive styling with its rather large vertical side air intakes under squinty headlights up front, sculpted creases on the doors, shapely two-tone wheels and a split rear spoiler with a large skid plate and a taillight at the rear end of a crossover-like vehicle that spans the entire width of the vehicle except for the badge.

Inside, a tablet-like digital dashboard and central infotainment screen can be found, with tilting button controls below. The top and bottom edges of the steering wheel are flat, and the floating center console has a driving mode dial and storage for the parking brake and some smartphones.

MG says the MG4 EV is currently undergoing final durability testing and is expected to go on sale in Europe in the fourth quarter, with the right-hand drive model confirmed for the UK in September. Additional information, including pricing, will be provided closer to launch.
