    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    So it looks like last month was my peak at 4.1. The change in weather has seen a return to my usual 3.8.

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    Coming up to the car's first birthday and my best month so far managing 4.1! It was holding at 4.2 for a while but dropped down at the last minute! Have really enjoyed my first year with the car. Have just got back from my first service, battery health at 99% and all good. I did think £125 was...

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    I've always been a bit on my own! 😁 Thinking into it a bit further I was wondering what sort of loads you are all carrying as that must make a difference. Most of my journeys are with four passengers so maybe that is the difference!

    Unfortunately the relentless Welsh rain has seen me drop down again this month!

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    It is, although most of my journeys are local within about 10 miles from home with a max 40mph limit. I also spend a lot of time waiting in the car with the radio on and I have noticed that when I do the miles/kWh keeps dropping the longer I wait so I'm guessing that it is continuing to...

    At last I've managed to get to 4! Not sure I'm going to be able to to it though!

    I'm still struggling to get above the 3.8! I think I probably do too many short journeys and early mornings!

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    A bit disappointed with my performance this month but I think it is down to mostly only doing short local journeys. I live at the top of a hill and I've noticed that when I pop down to town I get figures like 7-8 for the downward journey but when I come back home the figure drops to around 2.6...

    Mine was 0.1 the other way this month! Mostly short journeys where the use of HVAC and demisting before setting off has a greater effect.

    Interior light mg5 non facelift

    I understand that the facelift has rear interior lighting. Is this achieved with lights in the grab handles as above? If so maybe it might be possible to obtain the new facelift grab handles and do a swap if the fittings are the same. Total speculation but just wondered if anyone knows!

    Not so many miles this month but the colder weather has definitely had an effect.

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    The colder weather is definitely having an effect. Four long motorway trips the rest made up from short local journeys of under 10 miles each way.

    Battery heating on the MG5

    Yes there is a tab in the car settings section. I'm not really sure when to use it though, I think it is just to preheat the battery before rapid charging but I could be wrong! I haven't ever used it yet!

    Would you expect rear lights on with Daylight Running Lights (DRL)?

    Whilst DRLs are to improve pedestrian safety the problem is with the large number of poor drivers you see driving in twilight without their lights on because they haven't given it a thought because they either think the DRLs are lighting their way or they don't understand that the rear lights...

    MG5 arriving at last.

    Excellent news, enjoy! Mine was delivered yesterday and it is even better then I remembered! Unfortunately didn't arrive until late afternoon so I've not had much chance to play yet!

    Say Hello

    Placed my order with New Car Discount end of May but believe the car was already on order. Decided to go with the silver, my current Focus is black but I'm forever cleaning it!

    Say Hello

    Hi everyone. I've been lurking for a while as I wasn't sure if my new car would ever arrive but had the email today to say my new MG5 LR Exclusive will be delivered to me on 6 September! Feeling very excited (but also a little bit scared!) I've always had Fords before so this is going to be a...
