    Honest review of the MG4 XPower

    My sentiments exactly, why have all the power if your not going to enjoy it :)

    Mg4 vin number wrong?

    P should be 2023 and R 2024 as far as I know, Mine is S (2025)

    Unused features, change my mind..?

    I've used the Sat Nav and it was OK on a recent trip (I used ABRP to find chargers), I recently turned the auto high beam off after it threw a wobbly and randomly turned on when i was following a big white van !! Always had the LKA on without issue. Launch control only ever used once (yet) sport...

    MG4 Software Update Thread

    Well I'm on SWI133-R32 and I'm not sure if that is the latest !!

    Bluetooth - Am I missing something?

    I know there are many threads around Bluetooth and software updates etc. as ways to fix. I have my car booked in with MG in several weeks time, but just wanted to check whether I am missing something in the process. I paired my phone (Samsung S25), no problem, next time I get in the car the...

    Charging Anxiety

    Well took it very steady on the way there and used 51% battery, so I was quite please, charged at an Evolt charger, contactless and once I figured it out (with the help from another MG4 owner) it was quite simple, only slow charging but I was in no rush. One tip I got from the other owner and...

    Newbie

    Well if it's any consolation mine broke down on the way to being delivered !!! but since then 'touching wood) it's been fine, almost 3000 miles in and going well.

    Honest review of the MG4 XPower

    I did a trip to Barmouth from the midlands at the weekend, 106 miles one way, started with 100% charge and I did take it very steady (kept it in Normal mode), got there with 49% battery and a quoted 102 miles remaining. 2hrs, 20mins driving with no stops and I found the seats quite comfortable...

    Squeaking sound

    My rear brakes squeak very badly when reversing and the cars only 2 months old, one of the joys of using high regen and rarely having to use the actual brakes !!

    Honest review of the MG4 XPower

    I've never reset the GOM, and the highest range I've ever seen after a 100% charge was 201 miles, which seemed pretty accurate as after a 100 mile round trip and averaging 40mph and 3.0m/kW I still had 50% battery. Motorway miles and 'Spirited' driving certainly hammers the efficiency, trouble...

    Charging Anxiety

    Will have to use some restraint on the M54 and try to stick to 60/65ish rather than my usual speed limit +20% :ROFLMAO: Electroverse, Ionity, Instavolt and Gridserve apps all downloaded and ready to go !!

    Charging Anxiety

    I'm sure I'll experience some charging anxiety on my first road trip this weekend to Wales, 120miles one way, there's no way the Xpower will make it back and not yet used a public charger, so it could be fun !!

    Software update for speed sign recognition?

    I've got SWI33 and R32 and the speed recognition is crap and so is the bluetooth !!

    Honest review of the MG4 XPower

    Definitely a matter of opinion and perhaps you have got a bit of a 'dud' XPOWER. I've had mine for just over two months and absolutely love it. Yes the range was questionable for the first month until someone on a different post was discussing efficiency and mentioned about the 'intelligent...

    Found: MG4 Standard Range with heated seating

    What's different about the steering wheel? apart from it being on the wrong side :ROFLMAO:

    First road trip (Welsh coast)

    So I'm looking at a trip over to Barmouth from the midlands, shouldn't be a problem getting there but doesn't look to be that many chargers around (according to zapmap) and those that are there all seem to be pretty slow or quite expensive (looking at charging before heading home). I'm thinking...

    Stupid Bluetooth

    So it appears the dealer lied (shocker), when they said I had the latest software as mine is SWWI133-R32

    Stupid Bluetooth

    I'm still trying to find out what the latest version is for 2025 XPOWER SWI133, Bluetooth is one of the worst I've experienced

    Simple Fix for rear seat belt alerts

    Mate got in the back plugged into the center rear seat when he was sitting on the outside (by mistake), constant bloody beeping/bonging that was extremely annoying until he sorted it out, which took some time as it was late at night and he couldn't see a thing in the back !!

    Happy with my range.

    I did a 100 mile round trip to my daughters the other week, heater on 21 degrees, heated seat on some of the time, a mixture of 30, 40, 50 & national limits (all A roads), averaged 40mph over the trip with the occasional 'blast' in sport mode, from 100% got back with 42% which I was pretty...
