Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, to me it's one of the best looking EV's around, looks sporty and looks like it's moving even when parked, far better than 90% of those SUV's that look like a brick with four wheels, it represents an entry to EV's for people without a bottomless pocket !

I like the way it looks. Maybe that's just because every other EV is a big ugly SUV. And I like that the MG4 comes in that bright blue and the cool orange and not just various shades of silver and grey like all the other cars it seems. I mean, it's no Lotus Elise or Porche 911, but they've gone all ugly SUV anyway. It's smart and sporty. I like it!

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.

Because here where I live in a hot country with non-stop working air-conditioner mileage of any EV is not over 200km with fully charged battery driving straight with constant speed. Same situation will be with working heater in cold countries - not over 150-200km.

More cold weather tests please as even here in the UK our EV's suffered with the cold weather recently.

Hi there. Unfortunately, I don't agree with that. I revisited the car on my Danish channel a week ago, and the systems are still miserable.

The thing about the temperature is fixed. It was a software error showing 5 degrees too much. So 26 in the display was really 21. On mine now 21-22 is ok in the Norwegian winter with -14 outside.

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)

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?

@jimirosa 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 😊

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.

With an extremely large driving requirement, some EVs and with a lack of charging infrastructure may well become a challenge. In Denmark, however, the conversion to electric propulsion is fast because we have lots of DC chargers and the country is so small that you rarely drive more than 400-500 km on a daily basis.
