    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 heard a lot of people complain about the driver assistance on the MG's. 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.

As I say, these autonomous features are fantastic and you can absolutely trust your life on them, eight times out of ten. @@jimirosa

And EV without a heater is just a bad joke. But I can explain you why. 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.

    The MG 4 does have some good features like you pointed out especially the ability to heat the battery, why all manufacturers don't do this is beyond me. Also heat pumps should be standard in EV vehicles if they increase the range. Its like BMW charging you for heated seats on a monthly basis. More cold weather tests please as even here in the UK our EV's suffered with the cold weather recently. It is a pity manufacturers don't give range figures for spring / summer and autumn / winter but I guess people wouldn't buy the EV. Hoovies garage did a really interesting video on the F150 EV lightning range in cold weather.

    Great review. The car drives great but the software is poor. I have the standard range with the LFP battery chemistry, it has 5/6 the capacity of the long range car, poorer winter performance but the battery is more durable. What are your thoughts on the LFP battery.

    • @jimirosa
      @jimirosa  Рік тому +1

      In general the LFP sounds like a good solution.
      Cheaper to manufacture, more durable and better for the environment. But especially in countries with a cold climate, they are challenged more than traditional lithium ion batteries. That is why I have not owned a car with an LFP battery myself.

    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?
