MG4 SE SR vs TROPHY LR Summer Range Test | Comparing the data

Hey and thanks for tuning in this week.

In November 2022 I performed a 70mph range test with my MG4 SE Standard Range.
Recently, I also range tested the MG4 Trophy Long Range in the warmer British summer climate and compare both the tests. I felt that it would only be fair to compare the two like for like with similar route and outdoor temperature. Although not scientific, it's a great insight into what these two cars are capable of with a fully depleted battery so we can understand the limitations and have some helpful milestone markers for journey planning.

In this range test, I take my 'South west 70' route with my 2022 MG4 SE Standard Range to explore its potential range in the warmer climate. I safely maintain 70mph through where possible with the normal test procedures of using adaptive cruise, HVAC set to 22˙c and fan speed on +1.

It's also worth noting, in this video, my MG4 SE Standard Range is 10 months old vs an MG4 Trophy Long Range which was brand new.

I'd love to know what you thought of the test. Are you an MG4 owner? What's your experience on road trips? Do you have any tips to share?

Amazing, so detailed, I really like the MG, this pushes me towards the SE...

[sntsiev]

Interesting post there, thank you for uploading! I test drove the MG4 yesterday and was very impressed.
Your videos are certainly helping make a decision on what model to go for.

[PJWey]

Brilliant thanks really useful, will be bringing another MG4 to the West Country later this year

Would love to see a winter version of this. I've noticed a big hit to my SR range in the cold. Would be interested to see how the LR impacted in comparison.

[ytdood]

Looks about on par with what I'm getting from my LR Trophy version. But I don't keep it at 22C, but 26C, I think there's a 4C delta from what it's actually putting out, the internal temperature as reported by the app and an internal temperature gauge match that, not the '26C' on the HVAC. 22C makes it blow cold air still, quite annoyed with this but once set to 26C, I've not touched it for over 4 months now. I do always chuckle when 'summer' tests like these show a bleak, misty sight and barely any sun :D I guess to the outside world, it might look off but there's something magical about the way everything looks in this weather.

Good video as always!

Thanks for these vids.

I've thought about it a lot and ordered the SE. Most of my driving is town driving - occasionally I'll drive a bit further but then I'd need to plan a stop in either vehicle or charge at the end point for return.

So for me, in real world use the better efficiency of the smaller battery SE works for my lifestyle and use case. I would have liked the cameras, but not enough to be a deal breaker.

Car's coming in about 4 weeks apparently; really can't wait!

Interesting stuff. Thanks. A real-world difference of only about 25 miles range between the two at 10% charge, which is as low as I'd want to take them on a motorway.
Just wish they would make a "SE SR +" with more features included as standard. I object to safety features like blind spot detection being left off standard trim levels.

Just got my MG4 thanks to your videos <3

Love me a trip to GUS❤
Thanks mate good info ❤

[dgareandro]

Lad: At 21:21 It should've being 64KWh?!
Thanks in advance, very interesting comparison, well done mate 😁👏👌

[MUFC]

Thank you for putting it MPH and not KMs as I’m in England 👍 ❤

Just last week I was on the motorway with my Zoe. Drove at 110kph which is about 1mph slower than 70mph and managed to drive 180km with 79% battery. I'm really taken aback just how bad my Zoe is compared to your SE SR even though we have similar battery size.
Thankfully that piece of junk is going away in a couple of days. Sadly not to the junkyard but to the dealership which is going to sell it to someone else.

I’m in New Zealand and have had the Essence (similar to the Trophy) for a month now. So was interested to see what range you would get on the motorway. In NZ the Essence has 18” rims (and wider tyres) so I expect the range will be a bit less. So far I’ve only driven it around town / country roads … love it.

As usual your videos are very clear and to the point Stuart.

You may remember I ordered a mg4 last 31-10-2023 in spain, well still no reply from MG to any email, dealer still said, doesn't know nothing, so we decided to go on holiday to turkey as we were not going to wait any longer, so guess what, we are there 3 weeks and get an email your car is at the docks we will have it here in 2 to 3 weeks in the dealership. So cut short our intended 10 week holiday and book a flight back in time to collect the car.
Get back and get an email I have just seen your car it is the wrong colour inside. I will reorder the car for you. Yep, really, no apology, no, i will make sure its priority, in fact nothing. question him and he again doesn't know nothing. why have you got to make a new order, because your order they have sent it wrong, so i need to reorder. So when will it come "no idea".

Cannot recommend buying any car from the spanish MG. if this is the treatment before you buy what happens after you buy.

Any way they have done me a favour 🤣 as l have test drove some more cars and even the tesla model 3 (didn't before as it was some 10 or 12 000 euros more) and it is such a better car in every way, as since i ordered the MG4 it has come down in price and is now for us only 2000 euros more than our pre MG4 price rise. So we have cancelled the MG4 (at least they didn't argue about giving back our deposit) and have ordered the New refreshed highland model 3. which should be here october/november. Maybe just in time for our planned trip to the UK to visit family etc. So will we come to UK by diesel or electric. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Nice job!
Just i need to change to km.. but anyway it's easy..
Daily base, to my job the standard is enough..
The good question, how figure in wintertime, heat pump is good or not...here in Hungary sometimes -5..-15 happen... but anyway I will see.. :-)

[jamesguy]

Ive had my SR model for a year also. I don't drive as fast - usually 60-62 mph on dual carriageways for approx 50% of journeys and 50% rural and town driving on eco mode, the GOM predicts 230-240 miles in summer. Really surprised that the trophy has so little range advantage, the SE SR easily exceeds my bladder range. Its a pity MG UK do not offer the LFP battery on the Trophy like in other markets, I'd buy one.

[tangomoocow]

Great video, thanks. Is that screen standard, I'm pretty sure I've never seen it on my trophy? cheers.

[roscopeco]

This is where the sweet spot of the range is the SE LR, which is more efficient than the Trophy because as it doesn't have the extra spoiler which lowers the efficiency.

[DavidJJJ]

Great video, I'm getting the standard range in 3 days, so good to know real world. Also, nearly every country in the world uses kilometers, please include next time!

[davidmcclure]

Hello Stuart. Will going as low as 3% degrade the battery, done regularly, or is there a recommended battery %age that ideally you should not go below? Are the percentage and range reliable unlike conventional cars telling you 50 mile range then a few seconds later 0? Really interesting how close the ranges are, Thank you for a a very informative video.
