New wheels 

for teaching 

cycle safety 

SENIOR CONSTABLE Jeff 

Martin has a new learning aid 

to help teach kids about cycle 

safety, thanks to the generosity 

of a local bike shop. 

For more than 20 years, the 

team at Around Again Cycles 

have been keeping Cantabrians 

moving – repairing and 

restoring second-hand bikes. 

They’re passionate about all 

things cycling, including safety. 

When Martin approached 

the team for an old bike to 

use to talk to primary school 

children about bike safety, they 

were only too keen to help. 

The team purpose-built 

him a demonstration bike, 

complete with working brakes 

and reflector lights, but small 

enough to transport easily. 

“It’s so much easier to 

explain the safety features of 

a bike when I have a working 

model,” said Martin. 

“It’s compact enough that 

I can take it from school to 

school easily. It’s also great for 

the visual learners. 

“The kids always ask ‘Is that 

your bike, Constable Jeff?’ It’d 

take me a while to get to work if 

it was!” Martin lives more than 

40km from his home station.

As a school community 

officer, Martin supports 

the city council’s Cycle Safe 

programme by talking about 

cycling and law. 

“The Cycle Safe team do 

an amazing job. They visit 

primary schools and over two 

days they check the kids’ bikes 

and helmets, talk about the 

importance of being visible 

and teach them the road rules. 

“Then they go out on the 

road and practise what they’ve 

learned. It’s a bit like getting a 

licence to ride.” 

Playground 

plans get a 

rethink 

following 

petition 

• By Geoff Sloan 

PUBLIC PRESSURE has forced 

the city council to take another 

look at its plans for a replacement 

playground at Thomson Park. 

Earlier this year, council officials 

revealed the suburb’s popular 

50-year-old fort playground 

would be demolished due to safety 

concerns. 

Waitai Coastal-Burwood- 

Linwood Community Board 

member Alex Hewison said it was 

a safety risk. 

“And for us elected members, 

our priority is ensuring that our 

community is safe. What was 

disappointing was the redesign.” 

The council proposed replacing 

the largely wooden facility with 

an imported, $80,000 modular 

kitset funded by the city council’s 

‘community parks play item 

renewal’ project. 

Those plans led to a community 

backlash. Residents were angry 

about the lack of consultation, 

slamming the replacement model 

as “too plastic”, with its smaller 

size making it only suitable for 

small children. 

Hewison launched a petition 

calling on city council staff to 

consider a more suitable like-forlike 

replacement. 

He said media attention had 

significantly boosted the reach of 

the petition.

Extra two years for landfill 

OPERATIONS will continue 

on part of the Burwood landfill 

until 2026. 

The 9.62 ha section of the 

Burwood Resource Recovery 

Park was expected to close when 

its resource consent expired on 

June 30. 

But a two-year extension for 

operations at site C has been 

granted by Environment Canterbury. 

Said city 

council resource 

recovery manager 

Dr Alec 

McNeil: “We had 

anticipated we’d 

need to close site 

C by 2024 when 

it was expected 

to have reached 

capacity, but soil 

Alec McNeil 

volumes delivered to the site have 

been lower than predicted, so 

there’s enough room for another 

two years of operation.” 

McNeil said there are no 

other soil disposal sites in the 

Christchurch area that could fill 

the gap in the market. 

“Continuing operations here 

means we don’t need to travel 

outside of Christchurch to other 

disposal sites, which cuts costly 

transport distances and provides 

time for the industry to open 

new landfill sites.” 

The Burwood Resource 

Recovery Park was established 

by Transwaste Canterbury to

resource consent extension was granted.

process earthquake waste from 

the city’s demolished buildings. 

Since 2019, Burwood landfill 

has been progressively closing, 

with only site C remaining 

open. 

The small section of the landfill 

is used to dispose of soils that 

contain low levels of contaminants. 

No hazardous material is 

accepted. 

“Continuing at site C until 

it reaches capacity is the best 

and most economical option,” 

McNeil said. 

“I want to assure local residents 

that apart from the change 

to the resource consent, all 

operations will remain the same 

and will not involve any new 

excavations or an increase in size 

– we’re adding material to the 

existing site area.” 

The city council will not be 

seeking a further extension when 

the consent expires in June 2026. 

Once closed, the site will 

be incorporated into the 

neighbouring Bottle Lake Forest 

Park. 

Menz Shed 

steps up for 

picnic table 

project 

VOLUNTEERS from Linwood 

Menz Shed have built four new 

picnic tables which are being 

installed at McCormacks Bay and 

Charlesworth reserves. 

The Avon-Heathcote Estuary 

Trust approached the Menz Shed 

about designing the tables after 

being offered funding by the 

Ferrymead Rotary club. 

“The generosity of the Ferrymead 

Rotary Club will allow locals to 

sit down and enjoy the stunning 

environment that these two 

reserves have to offer,” said trust 

manager Tanya Jenkins. 

The handy Menz Shed 

volunteers, part of the Linwood 

Resource Centre, were happy to 

support the initiative and fulfil 

instructions to create sturdy tables, 

said Jenkins. 

“The project has provided the 

opportunity for local men to 

share and pass on knowledge of 

woodworking to others,” said 

Charlie Hulbert, Linwood Menz 

Shed community development 

co-ordinator. 

Each table is secured to a 

concrete base and milled from 

macrocarpa wood with a thick top 

and seating. 

They have been crafted to be 

durable in the salty environment.

Enviro Master helping 

Cantabrians 

Enviro Master has been helping 

Cantabrians get the balance right when 

it comes to choosing the perfect heat 

pump or air conditioning system for 

their home or office since 2002. 

Their team of expert sales people, 

qualified electricians, heating and 

refrigeration engineers, help to supply 

and install one of Christchurch’s 

widest range of heat pumps including 

Panasonic, Mitsubishi Electric, Daikin 

and Fujitsu. Because they have no 

affiliation with any one brand, you can 

be assured their advice on the benefits 

and differences between each product is 

unbiased. 

They will recommend the most 

energy-efficient and cost-effective system 

for your individual situation, and will 

have you regulating the heat in your 

home or office in no time. 

Nowadays, customers are often 

wanting whole home solutions to be 

able to maintain even temperatures 

throughout the home both in Winter 

and Summer. This can be achieved by 

using ducted systems or multi systems 

and Enviro Master are experts in 

designing, installing and commissioning 

these systems. 

Help is currently available with a 

government subsidy offering 80 per cent 

of the cost of a new heat pump up to 

$3000 including GST. 

The subsidy is part of the Warmer 

Kiwi Homes initiative and is available 

to Home owner/occupiers with a 

Community Services Card, a SuperGold 

combo card or who live in a low-income 

area as determined by deciles 8-10 on 

the New Zealand Deprivation Index. 

advertorial 

The applicant’s home must also have 

been built before 2008, have insulation 

up to code (insulation subsidies also 

available) and have no fixed heating 

in any living area, such as an existing 

operational heat pump or fireplace. 

To ensure you choose the right system 

for your home or business, one of Enviro 

Master’s experts will visit to assess your 

individual situation, offer advice and 

answer any questions you may have. 

This consultation is at no cost to the 

customer and is always provided before a 

heat pump is installed. 

Anyone wondering about their 

eligibility for a subsidised heat pump are 

welcome to get in touch for details and 

help with the application process.

Playground gets a 

$20k funding boost 

• From page 1 

The strong community response has 

seen a partial backdown from the city 

council. It is now adding an extra $20,000 

out of existing budgets to bolster the 

project. 

“There’s a significantly larger footprint. 

There’s a tunnel, unfortunately there isn’t 

that big double slide because once again 

that would require additional funding 

and we’re really proud to have kept that 

within existing budgets to ensure that our 

community have a bigger and playground 

without breaking the bank,” Hewison said. 

He believes the public will be happier 

with the new upgrade.

RESPONSE: Alex Hewison is pleased public pressure has resulted in a 

‘bigger and better’ playground for Thomson Park. Below – the old fort 

playground was removed in May. 

PHOTOS: GEOFF SLOAN 

“I think anything is better than the 

original design.” 

Hewison said the new design will allow 

more play elements to be added on in 

future, subject to funding. 

The change in plans will result in a 

delay, but he hopes the new expanded 

playground will be up and running for the 

area’s children by the end of the year.

CHALLENGE: Aquagym swim club members working hard to achieve their 

840km goal. 

Swimmers clock up 

length of South Island 

• By Isabella Adams 

A SWIM club challenged themselves to 

swim the length of the South Island in a 

week. 

The Aquagym swim club ran their first 

ever “aquathon” to fundraise for the club. 

The goal was to swim the length of the 

South Island, a total of 840km, which they 

achieved through weekly training sessions 

and a wrap-up event at the end of the last 

month. 

Club president Mike Walker said the 

idea came from one of the parents. 

“What we wanted to do was raise money 

at the club for supporting our coaches, 

getting equipment for the swimmers and 

things like that. 

“One of our mums said, ‘well, why don’t 

we swim the length of the South Island? 

And we’ll count it, we’ll do it over a week, 

and we’ll count all our trainings together’.” 

The Cashel St based club set a goal of 

$6000 and fundraised through Givealittle. 

They raised $7037. 

Walker said they would run a similar 

event in the future. 

“The people who got behind it that I saw 

and swam with seemed to have a good 

time and really enjoy it. 

“I think we’ll definitely do it again.”


HOUSE OF TRAVEL PRESTONS 

Your locally owned & operated travel provider 

Only have two weeks leave during the year due to Xmas closures? 

Have kids at school and can only go away during school holidays? 

Have precious pets that you cannot leave for long? OR simply don’t like to fly far? 

We are often faced with the above scenarios and sometimes it can be hard to 

come up with some new and exciting ideas about where to go for your holiday…. 

Families with kids in high school are now faced with stricter school rules over taking 

kids out during term time. Many businesses close down over Xmas and New Year 

which can enforce leave for many of their employees, limiting your mid-year 

holidays to a shorter period. Many others with work or family commitments also 

struggle to take longer holidays and take time out of their busy lives. 

So, we have come up with a few interesting destinations and ideas that you can 

easily fit into a two-week period. Our Prestons store has been open now for a few 

months and we have already met a lot of locals and invite you to pop in to say HI to 

our team. We recommend you join our Facebook page to keep up to date with our 

team. Please feel free to email us with your travel enquiry and one of our 

experienced team will get back to you – prestons@hot.co.nz

LOOKING FOR INSPIRATION 

for a 

Shor t break 

away? 

Tasmania 

Tahiti 

The Philippines 

This little island sits at the bottom of Australia and if you like friendly folk, 

cool things to see and do then this is a great under-rated destination. 

Perfect as a self-drive destination with short distances and easy driving. 

Some highlights are: MONA Gallery in Hobart, Port Arthur Historic site, 

Freycinet National Park (fab beaches), Launceston, Cradle Mountain 

National Park (stunning walks and a chance to see the local wildlife up 

close – those Wombats are super cute). If you enjoy wine, beer or 

whiskey then Tassie has so many fantastic cellar doors and distilleries. 

Fiji 

OFF THE BEATEN TRACK – while the popular resorts book up 12 months 

in advance there are a few gems in Fiji that are relatively unknown still. 

Depending on your budget you can get a unique experience and avoid 

the crowds. Some of our favourite options are: Toberua Island Resort, 

Jean-Michel Cousteau Resort and Navutu Stars Resort in the Yasawas. 

For those who like to cruise we would definitely recommend Blue 

Lagoon Cruises OR Captain Cook for their fabulous 3, 4 or 7 night 

cruises around the Yasawa Islands. 

Located just over a four-hour flight from Auckland this South Pacific paradise 

has a distinct French feel. A stunning destination - beautiful beaches and 

lagoons with a mountainous backdrop. You can easily head over to Moorea on 

a short 30min ferry ride OR take a flight over to Bora Bora and indulge in an 

overwater bungalow at one of the many gorgeous resorts. Tahiti also has some 

fantastic cruise lines operating around their islands – Paul Gaugin and 

Windstar offer small ship itineraries that get you to the outer islands that are 

well and truly off the beaten track. 

Broome & Darwin 

Best to head up this way from June to September when the weather is the best. 

Here you will find something to fit all budgets, but our advice is to get out and 

explore the National Parks – from Darwin you have Kakadu, Katherine and the 

Lichfield where you can go glamping OR stay in luxury lodges. From Broome 

you can jump on a small ship cruise up into the Kimberley region. This is a 

stunning location to do a 7-day cruise and combine with a few days on the 

beach in Broome OR a city break in Perth. 

Again a destination that Kiwi’s are not that familiar with. You can fly up 

to Manila OR Cebu and then take a ferry or a short flight onto some 

absolutely stunning island destinations. Some still largely untapped by 

the tourist market this archipelago of islands not only offers the clearest 

blue waters and an interesting culture it presents very good value for 

money. A great alternative to Bali or Thailand. 

OUR HOT TIPS TO PLANNING YOUR 

NEXT SHORT BREAK… 

• For parents: book early if travelling in the 

school holidays. We recommend booking at 

least three school holidays in advance 

• Come in for a chat – collectively we have 

“been there, done that” – don’t spend hours 

trying to do all of your own research. It can be 

overwhelming and very time-consuming! 

• Unique “off the beaten track” destinations can 

often consist of a collection of quite small, 

boutique resorts which can book up early – 

so get in touch now! 

• At House of Travel we are TAANZ bonded 

which means your money is safe with us. 

Fraud is rife globally and you have to be very 

careful where you send your funds.

Adding ginger for 

warmth in winter 

Discover 

New Brighton 

Ginger’s warming magic makes 

it a great edition over the winter 

months, writes Penelope Maguire 

Pear and ginger layer cake with 

chocolate ganache 

This is a beautiful 

cake that is 

reminiscent of 

sticky ginger toffee 

pudding (and is 

equally good served 

warm with vanilla 

ice cream) but is 

re-imagined as a 

sophisticated layer 

cake sandwiched 

between rich dark 

chocolate ganache. 

Ingredients 

340g butter 

1½ cups firmly packed brown sugar 

1½ cups golden syrup (540g) 

3 ¾ cups flour (450g) 

2 Tbsp ground ginger 

2 tsp ground cinnamon 

1½ tsp baking powder 

1½ tsp baking soda 

½ tsp salt 

1½ cups of milk (375ml) 

3 eggs, lightly whisked 

4 large ripe pears, sliced 

Method 

• Preheat oven to 180°C and grease and line 

two deep 20cm cake tins. 

• Melt butter, brown sugar and golden syrup 

in a saucepan until smooth and combined. 

• With a whisk, stir together flour, salt, 

ginger and cinnamon then sift in the baking 

powder and baking soda in a large bowl. 

• Mix eggs and milk in a separate bowl. 

Then very gently combine the eggs and milk 

with the dry ingredients and butter/sugar 

mixture in the large bowl, folding until 

combined. It should be a reasonably wet 

mixture. 

• Pour batter into the cake tins and top with 

sliced pear, then bake for 50-60 minutes 

until a skewer comes out clean. 

• Allow to cool in pan for 20 minutes before 

turning out on to a cake rack and allowing 

to cool completely before layering together 

with the whipped chocolate ganache (see 

below). 

Whipped chocolate ganache 

Ingredients 

375g 70% dark chocolate, finely 

chopped 

1½ cups cream 

Method 

• Place the finely chopped dark chocolate in 

a heatproof bowl. 

• In a saucepan, heat the cream until it 

barely comes to a simmer, but do not let it 

boil. 

• Pour the heated cream over the chopped 

chocolate. Let it sit for about 2-3 minutes to 

soften the chocolate. 

• Gently stir the chocolate and cream 

together until the chocolate is completely 

melted and the mixture is smooth and 

glossy. 

• Allow the ganache to cool completely in 

the fridge then whip in an electric mixer on 

high till doubled in size before topping each 

cake and sandwiching together. 

Triple ginger and 

cardamom kisses 

Similar to the classic; however, I like to do 

these ginger kisses in a lined muffin tray, 

simply because it’s easier and tidier than 

piping on to oven trays and sandwiching 

with butter cream, but you can do that too. 

Topped with fluffy ginger buttercream and 

glacé ginger, these pack a gingery punch. 

Ingredients 

Makes 12 medium cupcakes 

2 cups flour (240g) 

¾ tsp baking soda 

¾ tsp baking powder 

3 Tbsp ground ginger 

2 tsp ground cardamom 

1 tsp ground cinnamon 

115g butter, softened 

¾ cup white sugar (150g) 

4 Tbsp golden syrup 

3 large eggs 

½ cup milk 

Ginger butter cream and 

glacé ginger to serve 

Instructions 

• Preheat your oven to 180°C. Grease and 

line a 12-cupcake tin with paper liners. 

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together 

the softened butter, sugar and golden syrup 

until light and fluffy. Add the eggs one at a 

time, beating after each addition. 

• In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, 

ground ginger, ground cardamom, ground 

cinnamon, baking soda and baking powder. 

Set aside. 

• Gradually add the dry ingredients to the 

butter mixture, add milk and mix until just 

combined. 

• Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin 

tin, filling each cup about ⅔ full. 

• Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 

minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into 

the centre of the cake comes out clean. 

• Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a 

few minutes before transferring them to a 

wire rack to cool completely. Then pipe on 

big dollops of the buttercream (see below) 

and top with glacé ginger. 

Ginger buttercream 

Ingredients 

225g softened butter 

4 cups icing sugar, sifted 

1 tsp ground ginger 

1 tsp vanilla extract 

2-3 Tbsp milk or cream 

Method 

• With the whisk attachment, beat softened 

butter on medium speed until smooth 

and creamy and gradually add icing sugar, 

beating on low, then medium speed until 

well combined. 

• Add salt and vanilla extract, beat until 

combined. 

• Add cream or milk, one tablespoon at a 

time, until desired consistency is reached. 

• Beat on medium-high speed for 3-5 

minutes until light and fluffy.

Vibrant artwork 

celebrates our city 

The stunning artwork Christchurch 

Landing by Keith Drury – a fitting tribute 

to our much-loved and resilient city, is 

available in limited edition prints at Frame 

‘n’ Copy in North New Brighton. 

In fact, the story of this unique and 

colourful artwork began at Frame ‘n’ 

Copy. A customer had taken another 

print of a Keith Drury painting, Belfast 

Cove, into Frame ‘n’ Copy to be framed. 

The style and vibrant colours of that work 

captivated the team, sparking the idea 

to approach Keith to create an artwork 

depicting Otautahi Christchurch. 

He was delighted with the opportunity 

and the resulting painting, Christchurch 

Landing, is a truly special representation 

of the city.

Natural support for healthy joints 

Joint issues will affect most of us at 

some point. They can appear in any joint, 

such as the neck, back, shoulders, elbows, 

wrists, hands, hips, knees, ankles, and feet. 

Cartilage is the protective surface 

between moving bones that allows them 

to move freely. It is constantly worn 

away and needs to be rebuilt. This repair 

process slows down for most of us as 

we age. The result is that some joints do 

not have enough cartilage, causing the 

joint function to be less smooth. This 

is the most common form of arthritis, 

osteoarthritis, leading to inflammation, 

pain, stiffness, and reduced joint mobility. 

Joint pain can also be a factor in falls. 

Generally, joints with the most use or 

stress show problems first. 

Many people seek pain relief from 

their doctor. The usual prescription is 

non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, 

or NSAIDs, which offer pain relief but 

do nothing to stop the progression of 

arthritis. 

According to the British Journal 

of General Practice, NSAIDs are not 

recommended for long-term use and 

are responsible for 30% of hospital 

admissions, mainly due to internal 

bleeding, heart attack, stroke and renal 

damage. Research shows that all NSAIDs 

double the risk of hospitalization due to 

heart failure.

supplementary nutrients is beneficial in

It’s all on in Term 3! New courses 

and exciting events at Risingholme 

A new line-up of courses and events 

are on the way at Risingholme, offering 

a range of opportunities to expand your 

knowledge and flex your creative muscles. 

As part of our 80th anniversary celebrations 

we are thrilled to present our free taster 

programme ‘Have a Go’ Day which will 

be running between 19-25 August. These 

mostly 1-hour sessions are a great way to 

try something new in a supportive smallgroup 

environment without having to pay 

for a full course. The tasters span our course 

offerings and a full timetable and booking 

link is available on our website. Terms and 

conditions apply. 

Following this we are celebrating the 

best of our creative learners with a public 

art exhibition on the weekend of 14-15 

September. Rise Up: Celebrating 80 years 

of Creativity at Risingholme showcases a 

curated collection of works made by tutors 

and learners at Risingholme. Covering 

a range of media from painting, pottery, 

patchwork, textiles, wood sculpture and 

more, Rise Up is a chance to celebrate 

artistic achievement, empower and support 

emerging artists, and contribute to the 

wellbeing of our community through a 

meaningful engagement with art. Visitors 

will also have the opportunity to support 

local artists by purchasing their work. If 

you would like to exhibit your work and fit 

the eligibility criteria, submit an entry from 

by the 19th July. Entry forms are available 

from the 80th Anniversary Events tab on 

our website. 

New courses are also on the menu for 

Term 3! Take a food journey across the 

globe with our newly launched Tastes 

from Around the World cooking course. 

Developed in partnership with the team 

behind Share Kai and Kōrero, this 6-week 

course will introduce you to the cuisines 

of Nepal, Afghanistan, and Eritrea 

through a series of traditional dishes that 

capture the diversity of each cuisine. From 

momos (dumplings) through to hearty 

stews, flavoursome rice dishes, injera (a 

sourdough pancake) and more, this exciting 

new course will expand your culinary 

horizons and familiarise you with the 

cuisines and cultures of some of Ōtautahi’s 

ethnic migrant communities. 

Music enthusiasts will be thrilled with 

our new Introduction to Piano/Keyboard 

course which will teach you the basics of 

the piano/keyboard and inspire you with 

the confidence to want to learn further. 

Keyboards will be provided during each 

class, so anyone is welcome to join!

events, and to enrol, visit our website

WEA Term 3: Food for Thought 

The Canterbury WEA has a long 

history of engaging citizens in debate and 

discussion about the issues of the day. 

Glance at the Term 3 programme and 

you will see that this is still very much 

alive today. Alongside up-lifting and 

enriching workshops in arts, crafts, music 

and writing they offer a range of thought 

provoking and sometimes challenging 

talks and discussions. 

Join Margaret Taylor to view then 

discuss “The Power of Activism”. Young 

Australian climate activists feature in a 

documentary that moves beyond critique 

of the world’s inaction on climate change. 

Instead, it celebrates the example set by 

this group of gutsy future-proofers, while 

Regular physical activity is key to 

wellbeing over the Winter months. Our 

Night Class Programme has Pilates 

and Yoga (both accredited through the 

Community Group Strength and Balance 

Programme) and Tai Chi to keep you active 

this Winter. 

Being creative also keeps us active, think 

Music, Watercolour Painting, Stone Carving 

or Basket Weaving. Learning a new skill 

keeps us active too, why not try Knitting, 

Photography or Sign Language? 

Eating well is also vital for Winter 

wellbeing. We offer a variety of cooking 

classes to suit every taste, the perfect way 

to bring some fresh variety to your menu. 

New in Term 3 is Easy Weeknight Meals 

putting a dollar value on their work. 

Thursday 25 July; 3.30-5.30pm, koha. 

Peace & Disarmament: Remembering 

the Past to Protect the Future. Lucy 

Stewart will discuss the importance of a 

peace and disarmament approach to global 

tensions. Monday 5 August; 12.45-2.15pm, 

koha. 

Human Nature since the dawn of time is 

also explored in two 5 week courses with 

Michael Couch.

MG4 X-Power potent but lacking polish 

THE X-POWER is the wild child 

hot EV hatch in the MG4 range 

that has a bit of larrikin thrown 

into the mix, adding intrigue 

and excitement to its multidimensional 

personality. 

The adrenalin charged, 

X-Power is easily the fastest and 

most potent production MG ever. 

It is capable of knocking out the 

0-100km/h dash in a vivid 3.8 

seconds, boasting dual-motor 

power of 320kW and 600Nm of 

torque all for $69,990. 

It’s a performance car steal even 

in a post Clean Car Discount 

world. Nine months ago it would 

have attracted a healthy $7015 

rebate, meaning you could have 

driven away in this barnstormer 

Motoring with Bob Nettleton 

for an absurdly cheap $62,975. 

Specification enhancements 

include orange brake calipers, a 

two-tone black roof, 18-inch alloy 

wheels and polished trim accents, 

and an exclusive attention 

grabbing new Hunter Green 

colour option that the test vehicle 

sported. 

Not only is this compact fivedoor 

hatch quick, it’s also a fast 

charger capable of recharging at 

up to 140kW, in a charge time of 

only 26 minutes from 10-80 per 

cent using a 150kW DC rapid 

charger. 

The X-Power is equipped 

with an all-new dual motor 

configuration delivering up to 

320 action packed kilowatts of 

Ratings out of 10: Performance 9; Handling 7; Build Quality 

7; Comfort 7; Passenger and Load Space 7; Styling 7; Value 

for money 9; Safety – Five Star ANCAP crash rating. 

Overall points out of 10: 8 

peak performance to all four 

wheels, via front (150kW) and 

rear (170kW) electric motors. 

Its accelerative powers are 

remarkable with throttle 

response both breathtaking and 

instant. 

Tyre rumble, especially on 

coarse road surfaces, becomes 

especially niggly on longer trips. 

Apart from this irritation, it’s 

smooth and silent around town, 

ticking even more boxes for an 

already appealing vehicle. 

The claimed 450km plus allelectric 

driving range shrinks 

rapidly if you binge on the 

X-Power’s addictive performance. 

A modern and thoughtfully 

designed cabin is well 

put together but given its 

performance hero status in the 

MG family, the interior doesn’t 

have the expected X-factor. 

On the outside, the generic EV 

styling looks far too much like its 

mainstream siblings. A bit more 

X-factor wouldn’t go amiss here 

either. 

The X-Power has almost every 

technology base is covered. 

I especially liked the clever 

dual-screen technology with 

configurable driver display, 

featuring a floating infotainment 

screen, and an audio system with 

Apple Car Play and Android 

Auto. 

A rotary dial gear selector is 

intuitive and easy to use, while 

getting to where you want to 

go is made easy with satellite 

navigation. 

The MG Pilot system makes 

a compelling safety statement 

off the back of a comprehensive 

package of standard safety kit. 

The test car felt super solid, 

agile and stable on the road and 

body roll is superbly contained 

under brisk cornering. 

Direct and well-weighted 

steering with just the right 

balance of road feel, rounds 

things out nicely. However, as 

an overall ride and handling 

package it falls short of the best 

hyper hot hatches, although you 

have to cut the X-Power a little 

slack as most of are priced well 

north of this one. 

Even making those allowances, 

more finessing is required to take 

some of the edge off the hard 

low-speed ride. Another work-on 

is dialling back the suspension 

noise that’s fairly strident over 

more demanding patchwork and 

potholed road surfaces that ask 

the hard questions of a vehicle’s 

suspension.
