2024 - bought second hand - had it nearly a year now, covered around 7.600 miles. Car is still joy to drive - definitely every car from now on will be all-wheel-drive EV. Tech is not amazing, plastics are of really poor quality - especially ones in the boot - they scratch so easily! But I'm...

That's too bad, sounds like it's as useless as ACC on my MG4xp. You would think that after all these years some improvements would be made.

Lovely looking machine. They really reached a next level of class and beauty with this Polestar 4. Is this single or dual motor?

It's not a glitch, that's how sport mode is programmed in MG4. If you need full regen potential you need to keep it in normal or eco.

You have 61kWh of useable capacity, which translates to around 7 litres of diesel. Obviously you're not going to go far with this. WLTP is really super-misleading to people who don't know any better 😑

Do you drive with your Aircon/ heating switched on? The car doesn't have a heat pump, so HVAC system uses a lot of energy. You said that in warm weather you get a decent range so I wouldn't worry about it. You could try using seat heaters rather than AC, but that will cause problems when it...

Yea, I was waiting for this change... Thought it would never happen. BYD Seal becomes an excellent option now saving you on 'ripoff tax ' 👌😃 This will come super handy when I'm ready to let the Xpower go in a few years time 🏆

Fantastic news, thank you. So many great cars with the list price of 50k or under.

I wonder if anyone tried putting on 235/50 tyres to increase comfort...? They seem a bit cheaper too.

If it's Trophy - then it can be updated to R67

Correct. I got R67 installed 11 days ago and didn't have to reconnect my phone since. Although sometimes when you start a car and press the phone button - you have to wait a moment before it finishes "syncing process".

https://evkx.net/models/mg/mg4/mg4_electric_long_range/chargingcurve/ This is an excellent source for charging curves and other valuable data for almost all EVs. MG4 64kwh for example charges best at 1-60% reaching that in some 19 minutes. I hope you find this helpful 👍

I think there's a bug when you push the slider all the way down to '0%'. Instead you keep it a touch to the right - 'at 1%' - that should do the trick.

Nice one, congrats buddy! Just be careful with your alloys - this car is wider than average and I find curbing them way too easy lol Also you have to put your wipers in service mode before you lift them, otherwise you'll scratch your bonnet like some of us did 😅

When a chap on YT tested mg4 he found out that the car will do another 15miles after 0% SOC before it's completely flat. That's what battery buffer is for - 61 kWh usable from 64 kWh battery 👍
