Thank you for your support! You'll love the car, it's very well equipped and has a great driving experience. Stay tuned (and subscribe! :) for a lot more MG4 specific content which I'm filming.

Great video, I’d recommend turning off intelligent battery heating except for when you’re planning to fast charge and want to get the highest rate possible. Leaving it on uses heaps of energy and kills your efficiency according to most users on the MG EV forums

He’s absolutely right. I think it uses equiv to 30mph when it’s on. Only needs to be on when it’s really cold out .

The emergency location if key fob battery fails is in the center console. Put the fob at the bottom of centre console

in the very bottom, where the storage compartment with the roll away lid is? (guess i should read the instructions one day too!)

Fantastic video. Clear and concise. Can you set the favourite button to turn off individual functions, like LKA?
@bozugarage 2 ай бұрын
I don't believe you can at the moment - maybe with a future software update. But the climate control shortcut is very useful. Unfortunately the left button often forgets its setting after a few days

Apparently the aerodynamics work well to keep the rear window clear without a wiper. I used my rear wiper today, and it's so tiny it barely makes any difference to rear visibility anyway! Congratulations and enjoy your car!

The button inside the door that unlocks the door only unlocks the front doors until you open the drivers door and then the back doors unlock Unlike the zs ev mk1
@bozugarage 11 ай бұрын
OK, I actually haven't pushed that button yet :) Seems like a good safety precaution in case there are kids in the back who will jump out without looking. There is also the option in settings to unlock just the drivers door from the key, or all doors - another safety option there.

Nice video, been thinking of buying one of these. I know you have only had it for a few days but I wonder how well these will hold up. Currently driving a trusty Lancer that's about 10 years old with no issues. Would be interested if you did a 6 month review and what you liked and didn't like etc.
@bozugarage 11 ай бұрын
Great idea, I'll do a one, three and six month video. Already noticed a tiny annoyance, the gear selector thingy does reduce leg room a tiny bit, but really it's a minor issue. Seats are really comfortable and I haven't had fabric seats in a while, but great in hot weather as they're cooler.

This is really useful, thanks. One question: Can the star "favourites" button be programmed to operate air recirculation?
@FallenAngel53 10 ай бұрын
Yes
@bozugarage 10 ай бұрын
erm... pushing the favourite button, you can then adjust (from the right joystick) the temperature and fan speed, but technically not recirculation that I can tell. Think you might have to do that via the touchscreen still.

Really interested in speaker upgrade for the 51 excite and how might we add more lighting to the rear. Great video
@bozugarage 10 ай бұрын
Easiest for rear lighting is sticking a USB powered LED into the rear socket. Some people are velcroing rechargable LEDs to the roof lining or side pillars. If this was my car I'd be doing a full audio system with amps, EQs, subwoofers and the lot, but my wife only listens to old boomer talkback radio :(
@derekharper6031 11 ай бұрын
Couple of things i have found and need some answers to... if you dont put on your seat belt you cannot put into drive ir reverse. From main home screen, swipe down for more settings. If TPM alerts it throws up a warning on driver screen, announces it over audio and sends a message to you MG smart app. There is no TPM reset... increase trye pressure and drive for a while and it should reset if the issue isnt a TPM fault. Can anyone let me know how you can change the threshold fir the speed sign warning? Literally 1km over the posted speed and the damn warning flashes. Would be nice to have speed sign recogntion warning enabled but allow say a 5km margin..
@bozugarage 11 ай бұрын
Is your car an Australian model? I was moving the car around for video angles without putting on a seatbelt and was able to drive it. Think the driver door must be shut though. Yes on home screen you can swipe down, or left/right for additional ways to access the settings/apps - forgot to add that in the video. Don't know about the tyre pressure reset, haven't had any pressure loss - yet

Ok so seatbelt doesn't need to be on.. if you hold foot on brake pedal too long it kinda times out. Simply foot off brake, back on an can then put into D or R.

I hear there is no rear wiper, I have this car on order but the paddle says rear wiper so if there isn’t one one why does it say there is
@bozugarage 11 ай бұрын
Don't know what country you're in, but all Australian models have a rear Wiper. I think original MG4s delivered in Europe had no rear Wiper, current MG4s all do. Check with your dealer.
@FallenAngel53 10 ай бұрын
Because all the first phase cars don’t have rear wiper or three rear headrests. They updated most manuals to say there was a rear wiper etc as more and more were made with the rear wiper. All new models include rear wiper etc. 🇬🇧

Great informative video 😊 Can I please ask if there was a reason you went with the 51 instead of the 64?
@bozugarage 10 ай бұрын
Thanks for the comment! I prefer the LFP battery in the 51 (that's why also have Model 3 RWD). Range anxiety not an issue for our needs as it's a city car only, we'll take the Tesla (and it's supercharger network) when we need to do longer drives.

@jonathankapoor2389 10 ай бұрын
Same reason for me. We live in NZ and we do 5 long range trips per year, and with Tesla opening their super charger network to non-Tesla plus other charging brands we are confident those trips will work. We stop every 1.5 hours with our child, so the highway range with good network is sufficient.

Nice video, what kind of car trade in do they offer
@bozugarage 11 ай бұрын
No idea as we're going to sell the old car privately - however expect generally terrible trade offers, since car dealers generally toss trade-ins to wholesalers or auctions. If you have a decent car to trade in, may be worth selling privately or getting offers from car brokers to purchase. We're selling a Hyundai i30 and should be able to sell it reasonably easily for decent money, they hold their value surprisingly well and are a very reliable car.

"Lock the car and walk away and you are done." Means you have turned the car strangely means you have turned the car off. If you put it in the garaged unlocked the Android Auto will keep looking for you and can reach quite some distance.

Are you saying that we should lock the car at all times when not using it, otherwise it will keep "searching" for a nearby key to keep it active?

It seems to. My garage is attached to the house and 3 rooms away it keeps pinging my phone.@@bozugarage I pressed the "power" button off a few times before realising it just disconnects the HV battery and anything running off the 12 volt battery keeps going until the car is locked which is presumably why the power button is under the safety tab
