2022 MG 4 could

  





 The forthcoming electric MG 4 hatchback, due later this year, is expected to be very similar in design to the Chinese-market MG Mulan, unveiled this week. 

The Mulan shows off a fresh design language for the firm, marking it out from the MG ZS EV and MG 5 SW EV.

The 4 was previewed in February, with the image hinting that the new arrival will feature radical design cues. 

MG gave few details of the 4 at the time, but it did confirm it measures 4300mm long - a similar size to the Kia e-Niro – and "is developed with the UK consumer in mind". 

The new car is set to be positioned as a value alternative to electric family hatchbacks such as the Volkswagen ID 3 and Kia e-Niro.

For the Mulan, MG has claimed a 4.0sec 0-62mph time. However, this hasn't been confirmed for the 4.

The Mulan will also be the first EV built on SAIC’s Nebula platform, meaning it will be rear-wheel-drive.

No battery information has been released for the 4, but it's expected to get something similar to the packs offered in the ZS EV: 51kWh for 198 miles and 73kWh for 273 miles.

Yet it could also be broadly identical to the latest iteration of the 5 EV, with a front-mounted 154bhp motor giving a 0-62mph time of around 7.0sec and a 57.7kWh battery that's good for some 250 miles - figures that would line it up as a viable rival to the Ora Funky Cat, another Chinese hatchback due on sale in the UK this year. 

The Mulan also features a wrap-around rear light bar, which was visible in the teaser video for the MG 4.

Audi A6 Avant E-tron

  The  Audi A6   will gain an all-electric equivalent in 2024, complete with an Avant-badged version that is set to be the first all-electric offering in the executive estate segment.  Following the reveal of the  saloon-shaped A6 E-tron concept  last year, Audi has revealed a follow-up concept that closely previews the estate variant. It won’t immediately replace the A6 Avant, though, because Audi is planning to launch a ‘parallel offer’ powered by combustion in the future.  Like its saloon sibling – which sports a rakish silhouette in line with a vision to provide an EV alternative to both the current A6 and A7 – the new A6 Avant E-tron sits atop the Premium Platform Electric (PPE) architecture, which Audi is developing in partnership with Porsche and will be deployed first in the new  Porsche Macan EV  and  Audi Q6 E-tron  in 2023.  This platform blends elements of the  Porsche Taycan  and  Audi E-tron GT...

Volkswagen Group

As  Ford  prepares to reinvent the Mustang coupé with a hybrid V8 and electrify its  Ford Puma ST  hot crossover, the manufacturer could soon bring back several other historic nameplates to its portfolio. Last year, Ford’s Europe design chief, Murat Gueler, told Autocar that reviving old monikers could be a shrewd marketing ploy for the firm.  Murat Gueler, told Autocar that reviving old monikers could be a shrewd marketing ploy for the firm. This could be a move purely to stop other companies using them and a spokesperson told Autocar that “the registration of intellectual property is not a signal for any future product plans”. But with a Europe-focused electric crossover on the way, sitting atop  Volkswagen ’s MEB platform and built at the same Cologne site that made the Capri, Granada and even Scorpio, Ford could look to spiritually link the newcomer with a successful ancestor. Gueler told Autocar last year: "The industry is in its craziest tim...

Volvo C40 Recharge Twin Ultimate

Hình ảnh
  There is no need for a crossover SUV to have 402bhp, but I’ll be damned if it isn’t fun. The  Volvo C40 , despite its pseudo-coupé sloping roofline, isn’t meant to be a sports car. Volvo's Geely Group owner has Polestar and the likely upcoming O2 roadster for that. No, this is fundamentally an XC40 coupé. The big difference from the  Volvo XC40 , apart from its stockily muscular ‘coupé-SUV’ styling, is that it won’t be offered with any combustion engines. It rides on the same CMA platform as the XC40 and  Polestar 2  and is available with those models’ two pure-electric drivetrains. Since it is essentially an XC40 coupé, there’s no technical reason why it couldn’t have the XC40’s range of petrols and hybrids, but Volvo has chosen to position the C40 as the spearhead of its EV transformation, proudly proclaiming it’s the first Volvo in history designed as pure-electric only. That's not untrue, but it does make the C40 sound ra...
