MG4 lands for first time

The first deliveries of the MG’s new electric vehicle (EV) are on their way to dealerships around the country.

“The office has been abuzz while we’ve been tracking the ship with first delivery of this new model, the MG4,” says Arek Zywot, country manager for MG New Zealand.

“It’s finally here. Vehicles are being unloaded and transported to MG dealers around the North and South Islands.

“There has been unprecedented interest in and demand for this model thanks largely to rave reviews from overseas media. There’s every indication it’s going to be a success and we can’t wait to hear feedback from people who drive it this week.”

Zywot adds the MG4 Excite with its 51kWh battery is the first BEV available for less than $40,000, after rebate through the clean car discount has been applied.

“Anticipation is certainly building to a crescendo ahead of first test drives,” adds Zywot. “This has to be one of the most exciting new launches I’ve ever been involved with.

“With the volume of vehicles on the move, there may be some small delays getting the new model to each of our 18 sites.”
