Its a nice car, pity it's electric! , Not sure that cheap, chinese electrics inspires confidence. Does it come with a fire extinguisher? Although its actually not cheap compared to a better petrol, some of which with modern engines will be cheaper to run depending where your charging and costs. Petrol are definitely cheaper to fix, they also do more miles without the range anxiety of charging and the axiety of spontaneously catching fire!! Think its more for town and for the nieve who know nothing of cars apart from what they read in the guardian!! 4 times the carbon footprint of a petrol car to make! Not to mention the minerals for the batteries that have to be sourced and mined! Then there's the toxic waste from the battery afterwards! They still have to be plugged in and that energy comes from gas and oil powerstations!!! Crazy! Electrics is so much more expensive to repair and service and is the first thing to go wrong on any car, so why would you fully depend on an eggs in one basket rediculas idea! Totally neive, but to each thier own! 😂😂

Recent owner of the much older Q210. Honestly, it has been great, it's such a nice car!

I look at many ev road trips , everyone regards the trip as a challenge, not the message the pro ev want to convey but it is a fact petrol and diesel vehicles make road trips easier, i have a bmw i3 rex as i will never public charge, no hunt the charger which may not work or is busy and have to wait,

I will be owning the MG4 Luxury Long Range, Next monday! Im so excited for it. Definitly an upgrade when you come from a Ford Fiesta lol

What is this trim level equivalent for the United States models? Because in the United States for example, the 2022 model is generally classified and described as being the EX Trim or the Premiere Trim:

I refuse to give dictatorships luxury products profit....

Very informative, thank you

Two observations: 1. Most people would not go below 10% due to anxiety, 2. An indicated 70mph is really 68mph true. Thus, the real warm weather range was 210 miles or c. 200 miles at an indicated 72mph (70 mph true). The real winter range would be c. 20% less, thus a real motorway range of c. 160 miles.

Why the high temperature? At 22 I would be soaked in sweat. To each his own of course. For me the standard wins hands down with an LFP battery.

Around town I'm getting 4.5-5.0 kw easily, but on motorway 3.2 is the normal at 65 mph

I love this car! What state is the battery in, have you had it tested for degradation. Currently have an id3 of about the same age, double the mileage and the range doesn’t seem to have dropped at all. Looking at either getting a new kona or a 2nd hand Ioniq 5.

6 Months is nothing

It is a throwaway car so can be forgiven should last a bit longer than 12 months maybe

By the time the car got to 10%, that was 3 hours of driving! How big is your bladder? Seriously, I would suggest that a 10 to 15 minute stop every 200 miles or every 2 hours is important for safety. Provided reasonably spaced high powered working chargers are available on route, 250 mile range is plenty.

your journey there is about the same if not more than you'd pay in petrol for a standard 1.0 litre car on unleaded

thanks for video, good Q&A! i also wish it had a glass roof

A middle lane hogger on the motorway, of course your an EV driver.

Fantastic mate

hi, how would you rate the sound \ audio quality? and is there a way to connect a phone as hot spot? cheers

Excellent appraisal, very down to earth observations, best "reviewer." Common sense approach to explaining your experience, thanks, 🇬🇧

most notable is a key dimension - width - The Kia Niro has one of the narrower profiles compared to all other EVs making it more likely to fit in the standard UK tiny garage for those lucky enough to have one.

Very interesting and informative, thank you

Nice video, however, mind that ANY kind of battery chemistry is at the most stressed state when fully charged or fully discharged. It is true the it's not as bad with LFP compared to NCM but it will still happen, so if you don't need max range all the time and you want longevity, limit the charging. Charge fully only ocasionally for calibration.

Don't like the pointless in car lights, Matts and sill covers are nice thou

you should do the same road trip on Eco mode 👍

Great video! Very informative. Thanks.

about 60K new and a 22 plate about £21K that is insane depreciation then factor in tyre replacements at £150 plus a go and thats a no from me sorry.

Mileage is absolutely fine if you live in a town and go to work in it, or travel to the next town or village 👍 full tank about £17 quid and lasts a month whats not to like, a short commuter's car , fantastic 👍.

Ordered a 22 plate Ioniq 5 premium long range. One thing to note is if you buy approved used from Hyundai as long as its a 71 plate onwards they will give you a 5 year warranty like new. The battery warranty doesn't reset though so still counts down from 8 years from day o registration. Pretty big win to swing me towards it!

Great car and a fantastic buy as a nearly new used example. Just a little too big for me. I just wish Hyundai had put the blueprints through the copier at 90% and introduced a little brother.

I could very easily have bought a 2021 Ioniq 5 recently, it was between this and an ID4. On car alone I marginally preferred the I5 but VW swung it by offering some great finance deals which made thr ID4 a lot cheaper on PCP - this was a bonus because I don’t need to worry about depreciation.

Good demo.

I actually have this car and I hav done 340miles with still % remaining in the teens and that was 3 in the car too

Love my 72 plate. Best bang for buck out there in the EV world.

I have a AWD variant with 36k km on the clock and can totally share your verdict. The car feels like new after 2 years and hasn't lost any appeal that led me to buy it. I think people will be very happy with their used electric cars ones they can overcome the prejudice.

Another interesting video Stuart, thank you.

Thanks for this, its great to have this as I'm considering buying used 👍

Really good review, thanks.

But its Chinese!!!MG's parent company is SAIC Motor (Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation).

No need to “test real world” because no one drives outside of the “real world.” No need to drive just do math. 77 X 3.8, 77 X 4.1, etc. What needs to be determined is the miles/kilometers per mile at a speed. I elect to use 64 mph. Wind, terrain, electric/HVAC systems drain adjustment, means a practical range of 3 hours, close to 200 miles as I care not to go below 15% if possible. 2022 Ioniq 5 SE RWD long range battery size.

Hi Stuart, on average what do you charge this to? I’ve got the se standard and seen it’s recommended to charge to 80% so on the app I have set the limit to 80 but it continues to charge to 100% and I can’t set a limit on the cars entertainment system either.

Thanks for not just going in the outer lane the whole time like most EV range tests 😂

Great review, my wife and myself really like the MG4, we have been looking at getting the Trophy. I just have to pass my driving test :)

what type of battery is installed in this car?

I’m thinking of getting the exact same model but wanted to know if it’s a better option to go for than the AWD?

Quite useful. One commenter managed almost 7 m/kWh which is a real peak to achieve. 4 miles/kWh seems do-able in Model 3, Ioniq, etc, so that’s the starter for ten. I think permitting our electricity prices to domestic properties, to be susceptible to control and influence of Big Energy Gas & Oil (Big EGO as I refer to them), is a shockingly stupid position for the country to let itself end up. Nuclear is even worse, they extract price guarantees way in excess of present-day, like double, in order to even want to get into a bid for building a nuclear power plant. It’s absolutely standard. The more nuclear we have, the more the kWh price heads to £1 a unit. It feels like the government energy strategy is literally written by shareholders of BP. Lastly, I concur about speeds up to 70mph or so, they rip energy out of a battery. My experience is an old Nissan Leaf though, even 70mph it only could last 40 minutes or so, it was in short pathetic. And an unwelcome surprise, as we had 250 miles to travel in a cold night. 9 hours. Kids. No. Did it once. Old diesel, 4.5 hours with a break the length we wanted. Zoe is much better, the bigger the battery, the less this high-drain use damages efficiency. Take care all.

Do you have the new software? What about intrusive LKA? Thanks

Does the back wheels look like they are mounted on a rear axle that is too narrow?

please clean your car

328km with grandpa speeds sheesh, wonder how low it drops with 140km/h
