MG5 First impression
Good evenin all,
I have MG5 EV Trophy Long Range from just more than a month I would like to share my first impression from the car. Generally I am very pleased with the car and really happy that moved from diesel to the EV car.
The car is oferting very good value for the money in my opinion. Over the weeknd was the first long journey with the car 100 miles (70% driven on the motorway and 30% countryside,everywhere within the speed limits) with average use of 18.8Kwh per 100km outside temperature 9 C. As positive I can add the iSmart application, slide down side here is that is no statistics available about the previous chargings, but the preconditioning of the car in the frosty mornings is lovely. I still didn't try fast or rapid chargers at the moment only using my home and working charges both 7kw.
Was slight disappointment that both of the passengers door stop opening from inside on day two, but this is sorted already. Also something as disappointing is that the car not remembering the driver settings and every time when you go in to the car you need to setup driver mode and regenerating braking, something else which MG need to think in the future models/facelifts is to offer option for heat pump, which will increase the car effectiveness during the winter months.
However the car is looking good choice based on the fact that MG ZS is not available at the moment, MG4 sems to have quite few manufacturing issues (leaking oil and accumulator battery stop charging).
I am more than happy to see/read what kind of experience the rest of you have with the car.
Best regards Todor Radnev
