The usable battery capacity is 61.7 kWh, not 64. So your result (62.1 kWh) is almost exactly correct.

Hey Bjørn! I was just as bummed about the MG’s audio system as you are… until I discovered the ‘Arkamys 3D Sound’ and ‘Virtual Subwoofer’ options. Flipped those switches and BAM! It was like going from a tin can to a concert hall. 😲🎶 Give it a try; your ears will thank you!”

[MrVeeBlog]

I still like this car. I think it could make the grade for me even for the occasional road trip. I hope you can get the EX30 and put it through its paces soon. That will be interesting to see it in the real world. Thanks Bjorn. Happy belated fathers day.

If I remember correctly sound in the MG4 only was acceptable after turning on the "virtual subwoofer" function. This created more of a surround sound feeling with more openness.

Same range as an ID3 or Tesla M3 SR. Nice!

The term "tropical night" is defined throughout Europe with night temperatures not below 20 degrees.

The safety systems are very well described as nervous. My mg4 was a nightmare, add in the leaks, the underfloor not fitting and it had to go back for good after 1100 miles. Shame, enjoyed the ride quality and the great charging speeds. If they get their tech and QC fixed I’d buy another one.

Good on you mate this is what we need to know for practical purposes.

Great test. The MG4 raises an interesting question. Why pay more? It rides very well, handles great, is quick enough, and fairly quiet. You get good enough range, even with the LFP version.
With fossil cars, there were clear differences in the quality of the engine, and vibration and noise dampening. No one can tell the difference between a 150 KW electric engine from a premium brand and a Chinese brand. Batteries are except for Tesla mostly made by the Chinese. So how do you justify paying a lot more for a European premium brand? Other than to show that you are loaded, it will be increasingly difficult to hide behind technical superiority.
Other than the snob appeal, a 25 000 Euros Chinese car is as much fun to drive as a 50 000 Euros German Premium car.

Algorithm. Thank you for the video and your opinion to this car. Very helpful! :)

Would love to see a test of the 2023 refresh of the MG4 to see if it ironed out some of the TJA, LKA issues and maybe others

[stephanbiegel]

You should use eco mode. Extends the range for me about 50km in a standard MG4. I always drive in eco. Its fast enought for me ;)
On heightway I have in eco about 18 KW per 100. In Normal 22. Its only bad that you have to set the mode bevor every drive. I put it on the left favorit key.
But I have to say that my MG4 is a 2023 model with latest software.

[wintersun]

Using the calculation at 14:07 for extended range battery which is 74kWh net gives a range of 373km/ 231miles

Problem where all your personal settings reset to default each time you start the vehicle... is that still a problem or have they created saved profiles for each driver ?

[impuls]

The stereo system was really bad even through your mic, boomy in the 120-200Hz region and no lower base at all. The treble is super diffuse and at a low level. It seems like they havent spent much polishing the finer details on this car. Classic chinese production where the focus is get the product out the door as quickly as possible. The polishing will come after the product is launched hopefully through updates(doubtful..).

i just noticed mister green is gone from the intro

Lane assist just pings if you get close to the line.. it has nothing to do with holding the car between the lines. Same as the kona. It will just hold you a tiny bit but if you let go of the steering wheel it goes poof anyway. Although the HDA on the kona is 10x better then the MG4 :)

[matthew]

I’ve had my mg 4 long range for about two months now, driven about 6890km. I’m kinda happy with it, but a few things bug me: the lane assist is a killer, like really that thing is extreme, on head traffic crash system randomly activates and brake the car, wipers leave a smear just in the middle of my main area, charging is great, however it’s prone to overheating, so can get 136 ish, but middle of charging session it drops down to 6-9 for about 10-15 min before going back to 136 ish. Also there is an insane amount of wind noice from the front left side.
