Thanks a lot David for your ever so kind words.

Cheers. i am glad I could help. What have you getting?

I am glad I could be of any help. Spring will be great time for your new shiny MG. At least you’ll great average m/kwh out of the box 😃

Hahahah.. Cheers Phil. This reminds me to pop out for a quick drive 😂…

Love Trophy’s rear light bar. Totally transforms the look.

I am sure if the could of fitted the LFP they would of, but unfortunately LFP are not so good in the density department and just cannot fit the bigger battery in such a small car. Also LFP are probably not the best in a country where it gets very cold.

I’m due to collect my EV4 Trophy in a week or so. I’ve never had an electric car and know that the battery is different from the LFP on the base model but what does this mean in terms or day to day usage? Do I have to avoid leaving it plugged in, expect more significant range deg in cold weather? TIA

Completely with you on that..

Great!! You are going to love it. EVs are addictive

Honestly, Paul. MGs are great. Super value and good to look at..

@@Letstalkelectric Yes and the latest MG5 with its sleek front end looks great, rather than the boxy one like my daughters. I'll get there, just waiting for the infrastructure catching up here and across Europe as well, because we drive abroad every year, off to Zadar in June next.

I test drove trophy/luxury and loved the look of it. Far many good things going for the car. Auto Camera, light bar, heated seats, auto folding mirrors, rear spoiler, mega speaker system.. you are going to love it

​@@Letstalkelectric I hope so :) it's way more expensive than yours but always almost 10K € less than the other competitors for the same equipments

which dealer did you order from?

@@tusharshah8938 Hi Tushar, its from MG East London

Cheers Michael. I am glad you found the video useful..

Yeah, a whole month...

Grey is amazing. You’ll love it

Great.. I can imagine how excited you must be. Good luck

Many thanks. I am glad you found it useful.

Yup, totally agree with the heater usage.

You need to get the model with the heat pump next time you buy an EV. Makes energy consumption in winter a lot better.

@Syntech you can't get the heat pump in the UK I believe.

@@sputnikboy22 Unless you have passengers, Heated seats and steering wheels do the job with less energy use

What I've found is that although the initial energy use it high, it seems to catch up and one longer journeys the miles/kWH improves markedly even on a cold day.

Cheers..

Cheers, Emil. You are going to love it. I picked mine on 2/11 and I can just imagine what you must be feeling. This time last month, I didnt sleep all night. Good luck with the pickup tomorrow. Make sure you turn off the lane assist and just keep An eye on the regen

Glad yo hear you are loving your MG. They are getting very popular. Yes, LKA can get a tad bit annoying. I had developed mussel memory and ended up disabling everytime i had entered the car.. Good luck and drive safe..

@@Letstalkelectric We have a post it note to remind us! Though it is getting to be automatic now.....

@@eddyrichards8474 😂😂 like the idea of postit notes

Wow!! You are going to live the grey colour

@@Letstalkelectric yep the grey looks the best colour.

Hahah. That will annoy you on a longer drives.. 😆

@@Letstalkelectric Also, one other thing no glass roof, though they are heavy and expensive it looks pretty dark inside? And can you play movies on the main screen?

@@anticat900 it does get very dark in the car during nights. You may want to look into adding some aftermarket lights like Givoo etc. No, you cant watch movies on the screen. Unless it’s connected via apple car play or android auto then you may be able to watch it only when the car is stationary

That’s a great feature and works every time

WOW!! Congratulations… I am sure you’ll love your new car. 👍👍. And it’ll be a 73 plate 🎉

I am glad you liked the video

Great spec and the light bar 🥰

Love the new Kia Nero’s shape. Very futuristic. Yes, wall charger would completely change the way you plan your journeys. I have a granny charger too but yet to use it. How are you getting on with your EV? Has the cold temp impacted your average yet?

You are most welcome, Dave. I am glad you found it useful

BYD looks promising. Either way, you cant go wrong.

Very classic colour. Love that shade of grey on mg4, especially on Trophy. I am sure you cant wait..

might as well wait for new reg in March. Will you?

@@tusharshah8938 I would buy sooner rather later as prices are going up by £1000 from next month and honestly, there will always be a new number plate temptation. You still 2.5 months before 23 plate is out

@@tusharshah8938 I will take it as soon as it's available the sooner the better

Absolutely, heated leather seats would have made so much difference to the interior quality

The trophy version has all of those I believe

Trophy has these features too although I think seats are part vegan leather....

Hello Emanuele, many thanks for subscribing and I’ll be more than happy to answer your question. App connects via the built in GPS. SE has the basic GPS, which enables you to connect with the car for its basic features (heating, fault, lock/unlock, find car, charge status, heat battery etc). Trophy/Luxury has GPS and unlimited wifi hotspot (built in sim) as well for satnav, music app etc. this means the range to connect the car depends on the gps and your phone’s wifi/network availability. I turned on the heating of my car from 160 miles away for my wife. Remember, car heating automatically turns off after 10mins of activation (for safety and preserving the battery) however, thats more than enough to defrost the car and make it warm. I hope this has answered your questions. Thanks.

@@Letstalkelectric That is amazing! thank you so so much for your answer, very exhaustive! I hope my car arrives sooner than later!

@@EmanueleBergamini you are most welcome. I hope you get yours soon…

Hello, glad you found the video helpful. I have been using my home charger for the last 20 months with zero issues. You name it and we have had that weather without any drama. These chargers and the car charging ports are all IP rated and you should not worry about using it in extreme conditions 😊

Haha, totally with you on that. MGs have come far from what they were before.

Hello John, happy to help. Please drop me a line on saurabhdutt@live.com on exactly what you are looking for and I’ll be more than happy to custom make a video for you and mail back.

Unfortunately not

Thanks Roy. If I could find £6k, I would surely go for the trophy. However, I keep going back to the value you get for £26K. I think, it’ll have to be the SE

Yes I understand , I think I will go for the long range battery. 👍

@@royboydanny1415 Now SE LR is a perfect match. That would be my choice too

Cheers.. thanks for your message. Unfortunately I ended up getting rid of my MG due to many problems with it. I wasnt getting anywhere with the service/warranty team.

@@Letstalkelectric oh, I’m sorry to hear that Saurabh - seems like a cracking car. What did you get instead?

@@grahamkutner-simon8272 I ended up getting a Tesla Model 3

@@Letstalkelectric out of curiosity was it a case of returning it because of the issues or more like losing money on it by trading and such

@@AbdoJouma hello, it was more around the safety issue I had which made me very uncomfortable letting my wife and my son get in that car

You are most welcome

el consumo por KWh es identico salvo el luxury que consume mas ! si por el aleron jaja , y por favor los que comparan standar con comfort baterias LFP con NMC no tienen en cuenta todos los factores ... el LFP solo vale la pena si haces muchooos KM urbanos y te da igual tener poca autonomia en los viajes, las baterias de 64 kwh NMC son mejores simpkemente porque tienen mas autonomia ... no es cierto q no se puedan cargar mas del 80% solo es una recomendacion, y el Nº de ciclos que duran es mas q la vida del coche....

I was a tad bit nervous before buying. Good news is MG is aware of the issue and there a quick fix for it. Yes, MG5 looks promising though

Having had 2 MG4's and rejected both for multiple issues. I would look elsewhere

@@djewson Totally understand where you are coming from.

You f course, £26 is still very expensive for a family hatchback however when it comes to en EV, think its still reasonable. Completely agree with you on BYD bringing some change. No, the software is still the same. No calls yet from the dealer or any OTA update unfortunately

£26k for an EV at this level is actually pretty good value, especially compared with the likes of some likes my Hyundai Kona. Although I do have the ultimate spec version, I wouldn't say it's worth £10k more than the MG4 from what I've seen of it, however, I do love driving my Kona a lot, and in non wintry weather it too can achieve very respectable economy of 4+kW/h. The Kona has enjoyed very favourable reviews from all over, but now there is serious competition at much cheaper prices, it'll be harder for it to keep that prestige. The MG4 is a smart looking car, but the version reviewed had one major thing missing for me, and that's a decent audio system. I chose my Kona Ultimate for it having all the creature comforts, especially heated seats and steering wheel (does wonders for my back and arthritic fingers), the pre-heating or cooling, vented seats, but the main thing was the 9 speaker Krell audio system with it's deep bass and ability to run max volume with no distortion. Granted it's not quite as loud as I'd have liked, but it's loud enough for me 99% of the time, and too loud for most others even at 25% volume 😁 Now that winter has its grip on us, I've set the car to winter mode, which has an immediate effect at lowering overall range, indeed a full charge sees the estimated range drop from 298 miles to around 230, and once you start using the "heat" button, another 30-40 miles disappears. Despite all that, being able pre-heat the car (including defrosting windows & mirrors in less than 5 minutes), having almost instant heat available despite it being -5°C outside is awesome, which makes getting on with your journey a glorious thing compared to old tech ICE cars having to waste time, fuel & money to warm the engine up before it can start anything else 😎 There's not much that would persuade me to go back to using ICE cars again 🤔

Hi not yet. My issues are very minor so not too concerned about them

Cheers, I can totally understand where you are coming from. I was quite intimidated with moving over to EV too as we all “fear change”. The switch was smooth and I havent looked back ever since. Car comes with type2 cable (standard cable) and Ohme home charger comes with 5m tethered cable so no drama there too.

@@Letstalkelectric amazing thanks for fast reply! I've bene told that mine is only coming with the 3 pin charger not type 2

@@thedoyles6013 that’s exactly what I was told. Just tell them very nicely that the granny charger is going to be no good for you as the socket isnt close enough and you arent planning on getting a home charger yet. Only option you have is to use unthreaded work/destination chargers. Just request them to swap the cable with a type 2 and they’ll do it fro you. Failing that, just google standard type 2 cable, there are so many retailers out there. It shouldn’t cost you more than £150ish

You are right, Oct Int do not directly work with MG and other cars due to no API connection. However, if you have Ohme Home Pro installed then there will be no issues at all. That smart charger works as a bridge between Oct and MG

@@Letstalkelectric thanks. I'm getting the ohme, so shouldn't be a problem.

@@logant6490 Ohme is great. There is another Video I did for the home charger. You may want to have a look. 👀

Cheers for the feedback. 👍👍

You are going to love it

Couldnt agree more, Stephen. Value, logic and usability all are winners with the standard range

Wow.. White trophy looks really good. Love the black and white contrast.. And the rear light bar ❤

I do think WHITE is the best choise for MG4 's look. 😃

@@pandabamboo656 Completely agree

Hi, rear seats are not adjustable. They just fold down completely to access the boot

@@Letstalkelectric Sorry, but I meant the bank where you sit on top. Usually this can be pulled up first and then the part for your back can be fold a bit more down to get a flat boot. I have not seen anyone folding that seat cushion up to the back of the driver seat. That is why I am asking cause our test ride will be after chrismas . Thanks a lot.

Hi, 10p/kwh is only for the off peak hours

3 years on an electric cars is just a joke.. looking forward to the 7 years warranty

@@Letstalkelectric Note not everything on the car is not 7yr I think only battery and chassis. Not the infotainment system. I could be wrong. I am at least 2 maths away from delivery of my LR version

@@mutsaushewokunze6522 yes, you are correct. Most car manufacturers only offer that long warranty on battery only however, MG’s 7 years warranty is on everything on the car. Of course, consumables are excluded (lights, tyres, wipers etc)

@@Letstalkelectric It's debatable just how generous MG will be regarding the warranty. They'll probably be ok for 3 years but I'll be willing to bet they'll be looking for excuses not to do repairs free of charge in the following 4 years. It might help if you pay for their overpriced yearly ''services'' as a form of bribe of course 🙄

@@Macmonkey1000 hahah. Good point

Hi, unfortunately not

Hi, not any more. We used to get it until a few years ago. Yes, this one is the cheapest family EV you can buy in the uk

@@Letstalkelectric In germany you get the subsidiaries still but guess what: the british prices are lower even after 6000 € grants by government and 3600 from manufacturer. Price here is 32000 € + 1000€ delivery + 1000€ Epress in 2022 = 34.000€ and 4000 more for bigger battery and 6000 more for luxury which is your trophy. We will get that trophy in the light grey version and DOVER WHITE . Funnny that we get british named lines that do not exist in britain like comfort and luxury. There seem to be a lot of smaller differences between the lines cause your car shows a lot of differences in detail like in the booth no second level floor and 6 speakers , so 2 in the back instead of zero. I check the small british user yt videos cause they look different on topics compared to the german view on the same car. Your one has the LFP battery and therefore you will face far slower charging speed due to cold temperature. You will need a far longer battery pre heating to get anywhere close to advertised 117 kw. We have seen here first comparison rides of Cupra born = ID.3 family and MG 4 big battery in November where the Cupra born charged with 60 kW after a 45 km ride on ionity charger. In 10 minute it charged 8 kwh and then the Born owner did ride the MG and afterwards charged the MG4 with 120 kW and 16 kWh in 10 minutes, but this is the Li Ion battery which does not suffer that much from the low temperatures. A german youtuber got the white standard version and had only gotten 60 kW but now in december with 0°C ambient temperature and was quite disappointed, again ionity high speed charger capable of 350 kW. If you wann know better about the dependencies check in your app the battery temperature at arrival in front of the charger cause that is the key element which determines your charging speed cause the car communicates with the charges and delivers the info about the charging speed it wants to be charged. And be aware that 1°C can make the difference between 90 kW or 60 kW chargigng therefore preheating is pretty good idea or charging instantly after a long ride cause then the battery is already in best state to get charged cause preheating can need a lot of energy like in the id. family where the battery is charged with over 6 kW which might add 6 kWh onto your consumption in winter if you need to preheat for 1h before charging. It all depends on your behaviour and especially fast charging is a lot faster and more convenient after along ride in winter instead of before the ride. great car, great videos and eye for those details others did not mention like the peeling effect on the seats which was another reason among your feeling about dark and dull interior to go for the trophy with light grey interior and bi color.

Hi, it completely depends on your daily “non stop” range. If you can keep your daily milage under 220-210 miles then there is no real reason for going to the LR. 1. SR has LFP, can be charged to 100% regularly without impacting the battery 2. Lighter car 3. Marginally quicker 4. £2500 saving’s straight away 5. No additional tech, unless going for trophy

I am glad you found it useful 😃

Hello, I have been having my car (mg4 trophy) for 3 weeks now, and I am using it as a taxi. In the temperature of 1 °C I was averaging 3.4 - 3.6 miles/KWh, but in the temperature of around -5 °C I was averaging about 2.7 - 3 miles/KWh depending on the driving style, road conditions, and terrain. Since I got the car, this is what I have been experiencing. I was always having my heating on at around 22 °C and passengers are frequently opening the doors in the car, so the heating system has to work hard to keep up with the temperature inside the car. On a side note, my rear window always fogs up, so I need to use the rear window heater often. I think its a badly designed or just the rear window is too close to the passengers that they can quickly steam it up. Regarding the consumption, I may need to improve on my driving style as I was coming from a prius as my previous car. That was handling differently compared to this car, so I presume that I just need to get used to the pedal movements (travel). This car (mg4) has very sensitive pedals in eco mode than the prius had in eco mode. In the prius, you had more pedal travel, and it was easier to save on fuel, but in the mg4, the pedals do not have as much travel to play with.

Hi , thanks for reaching out. Please can you drop me an email at saurabhdutt@live.com

He is averaging 4.1 miles per kWh or 15.1 kWh per 100 km. A good result in my opinion.

1 mile -> 1.61km, 4.1miles per kWh -> 6.6km per kWh, which means, as macmonkey1000 already mentioned, 15.1kWh / 100km -> that´s really a good value for a MG4 🙂

Hello sir, the mg4 has 25% of regenerative braking strength of the output of the electric motor. This is not the strongest at the ev market today, but it does its job. I got the trophy model, and it does work just fine for me. I definitely would suggest some software update to mg as well. They have much more room to improve in different areas.
