We've had our MG4 Trophy now for over a year, and the LKA issue is really annoying! If they can't turn it off by law (and BTW, if that law is EU, then it may not apply to the UK any more) but I think the answer is for MG to FIX the LKA feature. We all turn it off because their implementation of...

I wouldn't want to disable emergency braking and parking sensors, so it's not a solution for me :-( - great investigation, though - thanks a lot for publicising the feature. We do need to keep up the pressure on MG, though...

My understanding of car retail economics is that the higher the value of the second hand stock, the more demand you can generate for new cars. This may sound counter-intuitive but as most new cars are PCP and leases, higher residual values make for more attractive new contract deals. So surely...

I've owned two Kia e-Niro cars; one was a "4" and the other a "4+". Their power trains, arodynamics, battery, throttle profile etc. were identical, with the ONLY difference affecting range being that the 4+ had a heat pump, whereas the 4 was simple PTC heater. I swapped them over in November...

A thoughtful response. My answer re. longer braking reaction times is based on my own experience, which is that my ingrained reflex to flick my foot to the brake if something potentially hazardous happens in front of me, is unaffected, and it SHORTENS braking time, as the car has already begun...

This is a very interesting thread. I'm intregued as to how many of those who voted "no" have actually used OPD? We've had 5 electric cars between my wife and I over the last 4 years, and test driven several more. I test drove the MG4 X-Power before getting my current car, and the one pedal...

Perhaps so they can try it out as an option - you never know; they may find out how useful it is in preserving range, improving brake wear and promoting relaxed driving! :)

I don't agree with that at all, frankly. There are always reasons to use friction brakes during an average journey, even when using OPD - when decellerating faster than the regen will do, for sudden car-in-front braking, etc. So the friction brakes always get a bit of exercise; enough to keep...

I, too, use Pis around the house (phone system, ad blocker, etc) and I've made simple low voltage UPSs for them. A simple arrangement with 3 x 3A diodes and a resistor is all you need, along with a 15v psu (many 12v psus run at 15v, and there are a lot of old laptop PSUs on ebay which give a...

We've seen the same issue on several occations - mostly one or more windows slightly ajar, but once one of the back windows was fully down when we returned to the car (parked at home, thankfully). Again, we'd put this down to accidental button-presses, but given the large number of folks seeing...

HaHa, by your picture you are also on 2 wheels. I ride a motorbike (summer weekends only, nowadays) and that's still petrol (can't quite wean myself off the lovely rumble of a Triumph twin through after-market exhausts ;-))

Attempting to return to the original thread ;-) - welcome MG4 Concert! We had our first electric MG over 3 years ago now (MG ZS EV back in Feb. 2020) just before lockdown hit. It was a godsend, as we were able to drive around the countryside to get out of the house, without ever going near a...

I'm really hoping this new 4wd model hits the streets in the UK before my e-Niro comes to the end of it's PCP in oct. It's the only car around that I think I would change the e-Niro for (given I can't afford to reach up to Tesla MY 4wd levels). Otherwise I'll hold onto it and wait 'till next...

"One Pedal Driving" is simply a software mode affecting the way regen is applied in the car. It actually doesn't specifically require strong regen, but usually the regen it stronger if "one pedal mode" is an option. The difference is this: with the MG4, if you take your foot completely off the...

you have a brake pedal for that :-)

No, not really. It's like an ICE car with very strong engine braking, but more progressive. You develop a light foot, so you progressively lift your foot to slow down in the same way you would gently press to gradually speed up. Any car can be jerky if you drive it that way.

This is the one big criticism I have of the MG4 - far too light regen (even on so-called "strong" setting). I would LOVE to have one-pedal driving. As has been said above, even those who were initially sceptical grow to prefer it over time. It does require some adjustment from ICE driving, and...

Really interesting you mentioned no "auto wipers". The brocure did state auto wipers, so we were initially disappointed when we collected our car in december (the test drive was in the dry!). However, we've noticed over time that the intermittent wiper rate DOES seem to change - I think it's...

We've been driving EVs now for over 3 years - MG4 is our third EV. So, things I like (compared with our other EVs and historical ICE cars): 1. Looks - it looks amazing!! (ours is Black) other EVs are/were crossover/suv and look clunky by comparison 2. Rear wheel drive - it puts all it's torque...

Thanks - I'll look them up :-)
