Seats are the same. It’s bottom part of the seat that are a problem. Someone asked a month ago for ‘tips’ on getting in and out of the car because of it 😂 Think the buzz/hum I get is from the front motor so probably true. Have also heard the trophy drives better because of the rwd. Biggest...

Might be “fine”, but my point is others are better. Getting in and out of the car is not nice. It’s been raised on here before saying how awkward it is, largely due to the huge side bolsters. Passengers regularly comment on how hard it is getting in and out. It’s not effortless, which it should...

Well the Niro I mentioned has, better range, more space, better driving position, smoother drivetrain, better suspension, better infotainment, better phone app, better dealer customer service, physical climate and media buttons, better warranty, better air con and fans, comfier seats, better...

Haven’t driven the PHEV Niro but the EV version of the same car is better in every way except from the fact it doesn’t have OPD. if your Niro is a ‘4’ or ‘4+’ then you’re better off keeping it. I have an MG4 and an eniro and would set my mg on fire now if it meant I could have a second Niro. Do...

I’m fairly confident this isn’t a troll because I too drove a new Corsa the other week (courtesy car whilst the MG4 was in for repairs) and it is indeed horrendous beyond belief. “How could anyone buy this” is exactly what I thought, so OP is posting the truth in respect of that at least. I do...

Just like to add that I’ve checked the ‘Cars you’ve smoked’ thread and am shocked to see some of the hypocrites that have accused me of being a reckless driver bragging about how quickly they overtake slower moving cars on multiple posts. Multiple people. To the idiot that called me an onanist...

Argument? There’s no ‘argument’ to be had. It was a question regarding the extent to which the xpowers power diminishes based on charge %. It’s not an opinion based issue. So yes, your experience with your Trophy is absolutely irrelevant. Again, sorry if that hurts your feelings. Also...

Based on that chart, no issue with my car. My ‘test’ yesterday produced very similar results so it’s MG’s attempt to save the battery. Just good to know it’s a ‘feature’ not a ‘fault’. But, there are literally posts earlier in the thread that say the don’t think there is any drop off in power...

Good. Holier than thou attitude strikes again. You criticised Ollie’s driving and then conflated his posts with mine. You drive a Trophy so your opinion on the matter is also irrelevant. Chart has now been posted showing everyone the XPowers power drop off is excessive compared to other EVs so...

For the avoidance of doubt, I agree. At no point have I ever said that if a car doesn’t get to 60 in sub 4 seconds that it’s dangerous. The chart you’ve just shared shows that the 100% charge 0-60 dash takes almost half the time that a 10% or 20% charge attempt takes. Some people have...

Erm, no I didn’t. Like I said, I checked the forum after initially posting and people were arguing with somebody else telling them they were a dangerous driver. My last post was made AFTER those comments. So you seem to be conflating my posts with somebody else’s. Suggest you read back a few...

I really couldn’t care less what meritless conclusion you draw about my style of driving, thank you. I also don’t care if the power doesn’t ‘suddenly’ disappear. I don’t drive at full throttle for hours at a time so wouldn’t feel the power reducing, would I? If I set off with 50% charge and the...

Haven’t checked this in a while but unsure why my genuine question about the car’s battery/power has been hijacked so that the ‘holier than thou’ crowd can preach about how much safer they are than everyone else. I tested the car’s acceleration today at 21% and it didn’t reach 60 until 7+...

I absolutely need 100% of the power to get past the gloits that don’t know how to drive and get on with my day. I’d be a safer driver doing 150mph backwards whilst blindfolded than half the idiots I see on the road. Saw someone yesterday scrolling through tik tok whilst driving. I would’ve...

That’s my problem I think, I’ve had faster petrol and diesel cars so am accustomed to the power, making it more noticeable once the mg gets restricted. I might do some test runs and record what G’s the car pulls on acceleration at 80% and 30% as that’ll be a good indicator. It’s actually quite...

It’s not an over analysis. I do roughly 50 miles a day. If I charge it every other day, there’s a very high chance that on day 2 I end up getting limited power before I get home. So 50% of my drives get restricted, meaning I drive an XPower on a Monday and on the way home from work on Tuesday...

I don’t want a Tesla. Our Kia doesn’t do this. And even if it did, 60% range is well above the 120 miles that the XPower gets before you lose power so I could accept that in a Tesla with 300miles of range

Should have to disclose it on the marketing brochures in my opinion. “0-60 in 3.8 seconds (50% of the time)”. The more I drive the XPower the more I realise it’s a cash grab by MG. No real R&D gone into it, just dump another motor on the front axle and claim it’s quick. If the car actually let...

I used to notice it at about 20% but recently it’s been 30% since it’s got cold. So that’s giving 100 miles of useable range with ‘full’ power

Noticed recently that the car seems to limit power when it gets to below 30%. Seems like it loses half the horses. Is this a built in battery saving precaution? I’d kind of understand why, as it saves battery, but if I’m 3 miles from home with 40 miles of range, I’d like to be able to use the...
