MG4 Reviews from various online publications

[gasman]

I've just been reading the MG4 spec. The trophy has all windows with 'one touch' open and close. I'm guessing that global closing/opening will be possible now.

I thought that just meant it had a toggle when you press the button in fully, which made the window open/close without needing to hold the button - not 100% sure though.

The Trophy also has the auto fold door mirrors which to me is an important feature.

It does, but that means each one must have the sensor so you can't trap anything in when it's closing. If it's got that, it can have the global open/close linked to the key - a Mondeo I used to have had it and you just had to press and hold the lock/unlock button and it would close/open all the windows.

Not sure how that would work with the Bluetooth key, but can be a useful feature on a warm day as you can let some fresh air in without having to get in and start it. Saying that, assume you can set the climate control from the app to cool it down if need be.

Except that he said that he was testing the LR which in SE spec with the red paint costs £29,120.

I was interested in his comments on the hesitation "at 45mph" when accelerating, and the question of whether it has a two speed gearbox.

Overall it struck me that he thought the car competent, excellent value for money, but uninspiring.

He said he was testing the SE long range didn’t he ?

He did, and that's what the red car was.

Just noted that SE seats do not have any pockets for storage behind them.

I honestly don't know what those little pockets at the top of the seats are for anyway. They say mobiles, but likely that it will be kids in the back and I've never seen one of them put a phone down anywhere.

The small mobile phone pockets may be high enough to hang kids coats.

The Trophy also has a larger seat pocket lower down. Many people find seat pockets to be very useful and convenient.

Another positive review, this time from Electroheads (there a couple of errors in it...)

A hook would be better than the small pockets. The map pocket is a bit bizarre as well, especially for a car that has sat nav as standard. Whilst wouldn't change the cost of the car, it would have made it a bit cheaper for MG to produce without them

 

[MarkPorth]

Pockets of any kind in the back of cars are mainly for rubbish and for sticky sweets to be shoved in in my experience.

 

[Vipar]

Hooks could be dangerous. I store my CD’s in mine and my breakdown cover paperwork

I think she needs to do a bit more homework there is to many mistakes and wrong information in this for me and she’s not the only one to do this kind of review.

It doesn't have a CD player.

It doesn't have a CD player.

Does it have an eight track tape player?

Found another difference in the software between the SE and Trophy.

This is the secondary menu screen (after you swipe left from the main menu screen):

Based on the above, it is likely the SE will not have the SOS call button which is present on the Trophy. I may be mistaken though...

 

[duncerduncs]

The SOS button is mandated by the EU (since 2018) so I'd be amazed if it's only on the Trophy!

I'd also suggest that hiding it in a sub-menu is dangerous.
