 Still miss RWD in the snow/mud/wet , so much fun.


Then you will love the BYD Seal Performance when you make the move. 55% power to the rear wheels, blip the throttle on a turn and the back end will step out.

    Your assumption Thailand will follow, is I believe, false.   Two completely separate markets with separate circumstances.   What kickstarted the EV revolution here was BYD & GW

yep, it's a great car and fun to drive! it handles really good for such a cheap price.

Unfortunately the future MG4 cars will be FWD, not sure if they will continue with the RWD. so sad.

That sounds perfect.

 

My son has gone off the idea of a Neta as he wants the MG4  as the warranty deal with the battery sounds excellent 

I was looking at a 2nd hand atto3 but for not much more the MG4 makes more sense

 

Not looked at the T&Cs yet and i am sure there must be some limitations

 

I see the MGzs ? Is at 499k with 8 years warranty on battery but he prefers the look of the MG4 in black which looks good 

Standard model D ? Is 519k with free charger fitted 

I wonder how far the standard range will go at around 100kph?

We have the X std range, it will go 335km driving hard and nearer 400km if air con off.

About 7% less, if anything like the MG ZS, probably less, as more streamlined than the ZS.  MG4 & ZS specs are about the same, aside from dimensions.

 

We use about 13.5kwh per 100 kms doing 90 kph, which increased to about 14.5 when maintaining about 100+ kph, though we rarely go over 110 kph.

I get mixed up with all the models 

I think the MG4 has a D model and a V model and then a X power model.?

When they launch the MG4, it had 2 standard range models only, X & D.  The major differences were the headlights, rear spoiler, seat colours and (I think) number of speakers.

 

When you charge up the car it initially says about 400km.  When you start it, it immediately drops to about 340km, but if you turn the A/C off, it jumps back up to about 400km.

Here we go again with Toyota trying to sell the BZ4X in Thailand after quietly pulling it from the Thailand market over a year ago due to low, low sales. And Toyota Thailand must be delusional with a sales target of 6,000 during the first 12 months; maybe something more realistic is 60.  And sorry, none of the Toyota always  "just around corner" new whiz-bang technology like the Toyota sold state battery....it comes with a lithium ion battery.

For  the NEW  bZ4X, the sales target is 6,000 units in the first year (12 months). For customers who pre-registered from August, the company will begin delivering the vehicles to customers from November onwards and will receive the following special privileges: 

  • Cash discount of 20,000 baht
  • Special interest rate 0.99%

 

Comes with a vehicle quality guarantee from Toyota Motor Thailand as follows:

I don't care if the BYD Sealion 7 is a better deal....more bang for the buck!!!!   Toyota Thailand has set a BZ4X sales target of 6,000 for the first 12 months (6,000 would place it near the top of all BEV sales in Thailand) and it shall be a success!!!!!    And if by some small chance 6,000 are not sold then that will occur "just around the Toyota elusive corner."

Toyota Thailand has different specs to this

Maximum running distance according to NEDC standards (kilometers) AWD 570 FWD 600

https://www.toyota.co.th/model/bz4x/specification

I think the specs for Toyota bZ4X in your comparison were from a model released in 2022 hence no year mention where for the BYD it specified 2025

2026 Toyota bZ4X facelift – EV updated in Thailand with larger battery, up to 525 km WLTP; from RM198k

Toyota has launched the bZ4X facelift for Thailand, where the electric crossover is on sale in two variants, three years on from when the model first arrived in the market.

Yep, that's what I posted, screenshot from Toyota TH

 

73.1 kWh battery in both versions for TH, as the smaller battery, may or may not be LFP, but irrelevant, as not available here, confirming what AI stated.

 

Toyota, still behind the Big Boys, probably always will be, along with overpriced, and TBH, untrustworthy IMHO.

 

What they state, and what actually comes off the production line is a big ???????, as caught out before being a bit, fraudulent :coffee1:

Claiming Lithium-Ion is confusing. 
 

if you’re ever in a BYD showroom, take a look at the stickers on the cars, they claim to be a Lithium Ion batteries when they are actually Lithium, Iron Phosphate, batteries.
 

I wrote to Rever two years ago and told them it was incorrect, a fat a lot of good at that..

Yeap, it can be confusing.  But actually an LFP battery is sub-type of a lithium ion battery since an LFP battery does use lithium ions. 

 

However, since the "cathode" of the LFP is made of lithium iron phosphate it's typically called an LFP battery and its Anode typically made of graphite.    Now, the cathode of the type of battery most people call a lithium-ion battery is made of Nickel-Magnesium Cobalt (NMC) or Nickel-Cobalt-Aluminum (NCA) with its anode also typically being made of graphite.    The cathode material used is the biggest difference between what we commonly call a lithium-ion battery or a LFP battery.

"Somewhat problematic on long trips  ..."  unfortunately, you keep hearing this argument from people who don’t own an ev, but not from experienced ev owners with several years of driving behind them ... :smile:

 

long trips are only problematic for someone who drives several hundred kilometers five times a week, doesn’t want to take any breaks, counts every minute, and doesn’t mind paying two to three times more per kilometer for gasoline ... according to aseannow, such drivers actually do still exist  :biggrin:

 

by the way, thailand is ideal even for long-distance trips, plenty of charging stations, low electricity costs, etc. on an 8-hour road trip, you can easily combine a toilet / meal break with a charging stop ... no problem at all for ev owners ... :smile:

 

No, I meant like a long long move trip.  I frequently due to my contract jobs go on a trip of several days between many states here in the USA.  I would never try that needing to rely on finding and stopping and waiting at charging stations, especially if I am driving at night.  An EV would not work for me.  Should I settle down and normally only drive around where I live then an EV could be OK

That is such a ridiculous price. I have seen two on the road here, both probably Toyota employees. The 2026 model is already released in North America - less ugly, less plastic, much better range and much faster (338 bhp, 5.1 seconds to 100kmh) they should be slashing the price to get rid of their stock. Even though the 2026 model is much improved it still won't sell if they price it the same.

Due to my job I do know that Toyota have a range of full EV models coming over the next 18 months or so, so they have finally bitten the bullet. However I don't know spec, pricing or anything, I just know the models that will be coming. If they price them anything like they currently do they haven't got a hope. Until that magic SSD / water powered / fairy dust engine that is just around the corner arrives of course.

https://carnewschina.com/2025/11/08/updated-byd-atto-3-will-have-650-km-range-with-74-880-kwh-blade-battery-pack/

 

Update on the Atto 3 — I believe that after the recent price war, the next trend will be to increase power and battery capacity while keeping the price at the same level.

I thought with the LFP Blade battery KWH increasing from 60KWH to 74KWH that would indicate it would come with the  Blade battery "Gen 2" vs the current Gen 1 blade battery.   The Gen 2 blade battery is suppose to have up to 40% higher energy density.  But when reading above article it says the Atto 74KW version will be much heavy  than the current Atto version indicating to me they are probably still using Gen 1 batteries and just adding some additional  Gen 1 blade batteries or just using some higher Amp-Hour capacity Gen 1 batteries.   

 

Due to the increase in the battery capacity, the curb weight of the updated BYD Atto 3 has increased to 1,880 kg, which is 190 kg to 255 kg heavier than the current model (1,625 kg to 1,690 kg).

 

Some info on the BYD Gen 2 blade batteries according to the Electric Viking...
Gen 2 "short and long" battery versions.   My apologies if this has been posted earlier.

100% electric vehicle registration in Thailand

October 2025 saw a total of 10,165 units shipped, representing a 105.2% increase year-on-year  and a 3.7% increase from the previous month.  The MG4 dominated for four consecutive months, followed by the GAC Aion UT / Deepal S05 / BYD Dolphin and GWM Ora Good Cat.

The cumulative total number of registered vehicles in the 100% electric vehicle (BEV: Battery Electric Vehicle) group in October 2025 is 10,165 vehicles (26.0% of the total number of registered vehicles in Thailand, totaling 39,075 vehicles).

 

105% increase year on year - where is mr graph when you need him "EV sales are declining year on year"

 

26.0% of the total number of registered vehicles being EVs is the same % as the UK and Australia  - well done Thailand

Thailand Number of Registered Vehicles

Thailand Number of Registered Vehicles was reported at 20,756,478 Unit in Feb 2025.

CEIC calculates monthly No of Registered Vehicles by subtracting No of Registered Motorcycles from Total No of Registered Vehicles. The Department of Land Transport provides Total No of Registered Vehicles and No of Registered Motorcycles.

https://www.ceicdata.com/en/indicator/thailand/number-of-registered-vehicles

26.0% of 20.76 million vehicles would be over 5 million vehicles, not 39,075

From January to September 2025, 367,107 cars were produced for domestic sale, an increase of 3.75% from the previous year.

 Electric Vehicles: In September 2025, new registrations for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) totaled 11,906 units, a remarkable 80.23% increase from September 2024. From January to September 2025, 104,571 BEVs were registered, a 38.49% increase from the same period in 2024. The total number of BEVs registered as of September 30, 2025, stands at 330,301 units, a 59.85% increase from the previous year.

Thailand Number of Registered Vehicles was reported at 20,756,478 Unit in Feb 2025.

CEIC calculates monthly No of Registered Vehicles by subtracting No of Registered Motorcycles from Total No of Registered Vehicles. The Department of Land Transport provides Total No of Registered Vehicles and No of Registered Motorcycles.

26.0% of 20.76 million vehicles would be over 5 million vehicles, not 39,075

From January to September 2025, 367,107 cars were produced for domestic sale, an increase of 3.75% from the previous year.

 Electric Vehicles: In September 2025, new registrations for Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) totaled 11,906 units, a remarkable 80.23% increase from September 2024. From January to September 2025, 104,571 BEVs were registered, a 38.49% increase from the same period in 2024. The total number of BEVs registered as of September 30, 2025, stands at 330,301 units, a 59.85% increase from the previous year.

26.0% of the total number of registered vehicles being EVs is factually incorrect 

 

 

The article means to say "newly" registered vehicles for Oct; that is, just comparing the total number of newly registered vehicles for Oct and not all "currently" registered vehicles which covers decades and decades of vehicles being registered in Thailand.
