MG Reviews

MG already had an MG4 electric hatchback, but at a moment in time when fuel prices are soaring and demand for electric vehicles is at an all-time high, the Chinese brand is introducing a second. The MG4 Urban is an all-new small car that shares little in common with its namesake. We test drive this new small electric car to see how it performs in terms of value, space and performance.

The Australian market hasn’t truly revolved around a sedan since I was a kid. These days it’s all about SUVs, and anything low-slung is easy to overlook when it comes to family hauling. Add to that the current fixation on hybrid and electric powertrains, and a mid-size petrol sedan feels almost out of step.And yet, here’s the MG7.It’s a mid-size fastback with a turbo-petrol engine and just one trim level. Its sharp styling is matched by an even sharper price, and it doesn’t seem particularly concerned about not fitting the current mould.It lines up against the Toyota Camry SL, Skoda Octavia Sportline and Hyundai Sonata N Line and raises an interesting question. Is this the sedan comeback nobody saw coming? And could it remind modern families why sedans were once king?

The MG HS Hybrid+ has arrived and we've spent a week with this new Toyota RAV4 to see how it shapes up.

Australia gets another ute and this time it's from MG, but does it deliver enough of the goods for this loaded segment?

The MG U9 Explore Pro is the hero model in the Chinese brand’s new ute line-up. Boasting a generous list of creature comforts and some clever features not available on the other variants, the Explore Pro is clearly targeting the premium ute buyer.

If you’re looking for a ute that can serve in the role of family transport the MG U9 Explore X is that kind of machine.

The MG U9 is the newest ute to hit the market and the U9 Explore is the entry-level model in the range.

MG wants to become one of the most popular brands in Australia - which means it needs a ute. The Chinese maker has taken assistance from its sister-brand, LDV, to rush the all-new U9 dual-cab ute into the market. But is it a case of too much too soon? Or is it the right ute at the right price? We drive it to find out if the U9 has what it takes to propel MG to the top.

IM is a premium play from Chinese mainstay MG, with the new brand a joint-venture between MG parent SAIC and China's version of Amazon, Alibaba, amongst others, seemingly with the goal of toppling Tesla. There's a Model 3-sized IM5 we've already tested, and this Model Y-sized IM6. And this one is the Performance, which offers supercar speed in properly sumptuous surrounds.

Not so long ago the sedan seemed to be on its last legs in the Aussie new-car market. But EVs, the Tesla Model 3 in particular, have changed that. And now a new liftback-style electric sedan, the MG IM5 has arrived to challenge not only the Tesla but other EV five-seaters from BYD (Seal), Hyundai (Ioniq 6) and Polestar (2).
