Owned my MG4 for 6 months now. Infotainment system is a little sluggish at times, but isn’t the maze you think. Two programmable shortcut buttons on steering wheel….I set them to climate control and camera. Agreed with many things you have said here. Not difficult to switch off lane assist which I do on the narrower country roads. I’d have mentioned the option to turn on Traffic Jam Assist which is brilliant.

I've heard a lot of people complain about the driver assistance on the MG's. I've driven the MG5 and never had problems with it. quite the opposite, went a lot better than I expected. the drive had a lot of corners and traffic. the only time it didn't work "properly" was on the really sharp corners. other than that, I had it on the whole drive and braked and turned as it should. yes, sometimes its a bit "harsh" on the steering, but never to the point where I was scared or uncomfortable with it.

The MG 4 does have some good features like you pointed out especially the ability to heat the battery, why all manufacturers don't do this is beyond me.

More cold weather tests please as even here in the UK our EV's suffered with the cold weather recently. It is a pity manufacturers don't give range figures for spring / summer and autumn / winter but I guess people wouldn't buy the EV.

At the beginning it was stated that the WLTP figs were 435km of range at 166W/km. Later in real world driving it was 250 W/km. That's a huge difference. Also, the batteries are NCM and thus it is recommended that charge is either 80 or 90% maximum and discharge is not less than 5%, further reducing range. Thus max range of 211 Km in those conditions. Pathetic. My Mazda 2 gets 1000km on 44 li of diesel. Why on earth would I want an EV?
@jimirosa2 жыл бұрын
The 250 wh/km was wit heavy motoreay driving at 130 km/h You’re Mazda wont do that great under those conditions. After owning 30+ ICE Cars (BMW, Audi and so on) i am not going back to fossil fuels 😊

Hmm does it not at all come with a heatpump in denmark??? This is the luxury spec list in Norway. Aerodynamisk bakspoiler Varmepumpe (heatpump) Oppvarmede forseter (heated seats in front) Oppvarmet skinnratt (heated steering wheel) 360 graders kamera Navigasjon i sanntid MG Pilot med BSD / RCTA/ DOW Trådløs lading 6-veis justerbart førersete Batterilading med forvarming (preheating battery)

I really like that colour but unfortunately it’s also the same colour as all the utility vehicles of my local council/authority. So this would be the same colour as refuse trucks, road repair trucks, council vans, cars, drain clearance machinery. It would just blend into the background. And those awful rear spoilers in the top spec., which actually decrease the range by 16km due to increased drag. Not much form and function thrown out the window.
@jimirosa Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the inputs and for watching. Arr you sure about the spoilers. F.eks Skoda and Hyundai claims that their spolers decrease drag…
@dcvariousvids8082 Жыл бұрын
@@jimirosa - From other independent testing, the reduction of potential range is correct. The different between the top specs. and others is mainly cosmetic. The main outer difference being the rear spoilers, so I presumed increased drag. I’m fully apologetic for being incorrect for this assumption of increased drag, if I am incorrect.
