Introducing the MG Wier: An Affordable Electric Crossover:-
This is the MG Wier and MG calls it a crossover utility vehicle I’ll get to the shape and other details later but why you should be interested in one is one that it’s all electric and two because prices start at 9.99 lakh rupees .
Not an SUV: A Quasi-Hatchback with MPV Design Elements:-
This very interesting new model now MG isn’t calling this an SUV because it isn’t I’d call the shape of like a quasi hatchback more MPV like so the front section is really short it’s split into two sections you get full width drls on top the main headlights are lower down there’s enough Chrome to make this look like a fairly expensive vehicle.
Smart Exterior Features with Practical Design:-
Now the shape that I was telling you about is more MPV is and that is most clear on the side now this one runs on 18inch they look quite smart you have your charging port right up here pop out door handles which is a nice touch uh I’ll have to see how they are in real world usage uh it’s got a very nice and big glass house so I’m expecting it to be quite roomy and ay on the inside uh again at the back uh if you could just come here you have the tail lamps that start very prominent LED detailing and it runs across the width of the tail section it’s quite rounded here and U it is a what I’d call very interesting addition to our roads not an SUV .
Spacious Boot and Flexible Storage Options:-
Is rated at 604 L you get a pretty wide and uh nice sized luggage compartment you can also split and fold the seats to make up more luggage area and there’s also some storage under the boot flow on the inside the MG Viner feels really .
Modern Interior with a Huge Touchscreen:-
New age you get this 15.6 in touchscreen it is your go-to control for almost all settings it’s really large it’s almost uh the size of a laptop screen so it will take some getting used to it is quite in your face I will have to say that you do get uh physical controls for the air conditioning system uh there’s single uh Zone Auto climate control here so you get your blower settings and temperature controls .
Practical Cabin with Plenty of Storage:-
Here you get cup holders down here there’s a lot of storage space over here there’s USB charging sockets a wireless charger over here even more space in between so this is really well thought out and very nicely designed cabin big on practicality glove box here another cup holder up here and uh even in terms of quality it is quite impressive.
Comfortable Seats with Stylish Design:-
I really like the finish of the seats they’re really well padded uh this fish scale effect looks unusual but I must tell you that the seats are really really really comfortable I also like this Forwood finish it is quite convincing there are hard plastics lower down.
High-Tech Features and Ambient Lighting:-
I think for this price point it is more than acceptable other Tech features include digital dials up front and uh you get a familiar steering it’s borrowed from the comet but gets a different tone here other features of Note include ambient lighting and of course topping off that list of features is a massive glass roof it doesn’t open all you get is uh this curtain that rolls all the way back it makes the cabin feel really really a the screen is packed with goodies uh you get a 360° camera right over here uh it’s pretty highres uh there’s connected Tech so you can keep in touch with your car remotely and it has got the works with Android auto Apple carplay you name it it’s on the screen again.
Spacious Rear Seats with Recline Feature:-
I think the size might take some getting used to because it is really large and in your face the wior is built on a long 2.7 M wheelbase and you get the benefit of that when you’re sat at the back as you can tell there is a lot of space to the front seat I’m just under 6 ft tall the front seat is set to a position that I’d be comfortable in and I’m really well catered to on leg room head room for someone of my height is just about adequate anyone taller will have an issue with Headroom space for three is also more than adequate and what helps that experience is this absolutely flat floow now as for seat Comfort it’s really good the seat.
Very well padded it’s got this interesting fish inspired uh design very nicely cushioned and what will perhaps makes the biggest difference is the seat recline 135° check this out whoso you can really slouch back and relax and I think this will be one of the biggest selling points on the wior.
Power and Range: Efficient Electric Performance:-
Now talking of the specifications of Interest the MG Wier uses a single electric motor that powers the front wheels it makes 136 horsepower the battery is a 38 KW unit and that has a range of 331 km now that’s a claimed range figure we’ll have to see what it works out to in the real world now what’s made that 9.99 lakh rupee price possible well MG is charging 9.99 lakh rupees for the car but the battery comes separately sold under a concept called battery as a service .
Battery-as-a-Service: A Unique Cost-Saving Approach:-
So MG will charge you about 3.5 rupees per kilometer of usage for the battery over and above that you’ll have to also pay for the charging but if you do the maths it does work out a whole lot cheaper than going for a combustion engine car what makes the deal sweeter.
Financial Incentives: Buyback and Cost Efficiency:-
Is that mg is assuring a 60% buyback value in 3 years so it makes a whole lot of sense if you look at it exclusively from a financial point of view we’ll have to see what the product is like to dry what it’s like to live but on first count this is a very very interesting product and who knows it could just shake up the EV industry.
