My First Long Journey In The MG4 Trophy Long Range - EV Public Charging Attempt
It's my first long journey that will be longer than the WLTP range in my MG4 Trophy Long Range. It's a cold morning and the battery will be not working at its maximum efficiency. For the first time ever, I hit the public chargers, where things didn't exactly go to plan...

TWO WEEKS With My MG4 Trophy Long Range: What's It REALLY Like To Live With?
Переглядів 84 тис.9 місяців тому
I took delivery of my MG4 Trophy Long Range 2 weeks ago and I've driven 1500 miles in it. It's now time to give a review on the car based on the time I've had it. There's plenty of good to talk about, but there's also some not so good aspects too... #mg4 #review #ev Music: Ben S - Create Your Own Sunrise music.ua-cam.com/video/fVw1D3h-9kk/v-deo.html&si=3NHETJlCse0KNWBP Ben S (feat.

How My First Commute In The MG4 Went In Freezing Conditions
Переглядів 5 тис.9 місяців тому
Conditions for my first 140 mile round trip commute in my MG4 Long Range Trophy have been below freezing temperatures. With range notoriously affected in cold weather, how does the EV fare and is range anxiety a thing? #mg4 #ev #range
Electrifying Journey: MG4 First Drive As A New EV Owner
Переглядів 15 тис.9 місяців тому
It's time for the first drive of my new MG4 Long Range Trophy. I've not driven an electric vehicle before, and so far have only sat in the car and synced the MG iSMART app to it. But now, it's time to see what it's like to drive, the performance, comfort, projected range and some of the features this car has. Being a petrol head, do you think I'm going to like it?
My First Ever EV! MG4 Trophy Long Range
Переглядів 16 тис.10 місяців тому
I have taken delivery of my first ever Electric Vehicle, the MG4 Trophy Long Range. I'm a petrol head at heart and love my ICE cars, so I am bringing you a real life update of what it's like to live with an EV and how the MG4 stacks up against the classic VWs and Skoda Superb Daily that I'm so used to. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for future videos. Check out my other channel youtube.com/...

    I drove an Ioniq 5 and it was doing lane keeping steering correction that I did not like.

    It's good to learn an experience of a driver of the premium trim. My Mg4 long range is still good but almost every single aspect is bad. inside materials are low quality, no cameras, audio is worse that playing of my phone, no side cameras, head unit is laggy. And more and more. Thank god economy is not too bad and charging speeds are good too. Auto high beam works perfectly though.

    Test drove one recently the Trophy version and was like wow. Its the dealers car he has had for 1 year with 11k miles & its for sale £19k. Used ev prices will drop in my opinion as loads where registered in Sept 24 to avoid the £15k UK govt fine so we should see some bargains in 2025. Net zero is somethign we shoudl aim for , but not at the price of destroying our economy in the process.

    I’ve got on with it and I have one. I’m pleased with the car apart from the poor programming decisions made with the way the software works. A panic breaking works as it has done this at least 4 times when it gets confused as refuses to believe that I’m in control and locks the breaks.

    Ever since they blew up those batteries in the pagers in Palestine, I've been contemplating about what could possibly happen in 5 years if we happen to go to war with China... I'm probably crazy but down here in Australia the Chinese are literally giving away their electric cars. They dropped the price on the MG4 by 13 thousand dollars overnight. The Chinese are literally losing money on each car they sell. They're so keen to get an electric car in our driveways they'll lose money to do it, probably because they love us .

    Hi, thanks for the amazing reviews on MG4, really useful! We are looking to replace our lease mild hybrid car with an EV, MG4 Trophy Long range looks very appealing financially as the lease cost is relatively small and very comparable to what we are currently paying, as it has been about 6 months since your last review, is there anything else you have learned, for example over the air updates have been applied? Thank again. Ivo

    Unfortunately the negative things you mention like the cup holders/ no rear interior lightsl/ cable stowage would annoy me as these are the things you have to live with day in day out,the last car i owned with just one front interior light was an 80's vauxhal.So when you start delving into what initially seems a great product this is what you find that some design elements are way being european standards today.Also insurance comp/ repairers have been in the news saying that technical back up especially body repair methods etc are not up to thatcham standards therefore causing long repair delays.As there are now many more chinese ev makes coming to uk this could become a major issue unless these Chinese vehicle makers get up to speed with crucial support areas.

    Looks like your in eco mode, limited heater and reduced power , a proper evaluation would be in normal mode using the controls as you would in a ic engine. Who wants to drive cold just to gain more mileage. (Or hot, as aircon uses a lot of power). Network charging has become very expensive. All part of the con I think. And all evs having to pay road tax next year. Again all part of the con! Thanks to the great British government. 🙈

    Maybe if you presented your charging card to the actual chargers NFC-reader it would have worked. It failed because you tried it on the VISA/MASTERCARD-addon they have on the reader. Right to the right of it you can see the area to touch for NFC Charge-cards

    I was thinking about buying an MG 4 SE as I don’t need all but one of the extras on the Trophy. Can’t believe the SE hasn’t got Sat Nav, bit of a deal breaker. So might have to go for the Trophy but what do people think about the NMC battery, aren’t the LFP batteries on the SE supposed to be better.

    HGV'S are limited to 56mph, so 60mph should be the minimum to stop them having to pull out.Remember even at 60mph your speedo could be inaccurate. Plus don't sit next to a HGV, pass the asap to avoid side swiping.
