    Which charging cable to expect on MG4 delivery?

    Good luck with your new MG4. I got a "granny" charger (13A plug to box to Type 2 socket which plugs into the car) + long Type 2 cable to connect wall box or public charger to the car. All the cars I've seen on sale have had the 2 cables.

    MG4 Lane keep assist

    Yes. In MG Pilot, I changed Mode Select from TJA to ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control) Now, Keeping Lane Assist can be turned off. Personally, I think that the way the steering wheel is snatched left/right is dangerous.

    MG4 Range

    I got the 280 miles from mg.co.uk where it states (optimistically) Range applies to All-New MG4 EV SE Long Range with the 64kWh battery from a single charge on the WLTP combined cycle: Combined Range 281 miles (450 km): City Range: 360 miles (579 km); Combined Driving Efficiency: 3.8 miles/kWh...

    MG4 Range

    I have to ask myself, what have I gained with my 64kWh MG4 compared to my 53kWh MG5? I was wrong to put economy high near the top of my wants. Both cars have very strong points in favour of them, especially in terms of build quality

    MG4 Range

    My orange MG4 Trophy appears to have a standard range battery (not the advertised 64kWh) and yet is only giving me 222 miles after 100% charge. My 2021 metallic blue MG5 SW has a 53kWh battery yet it's giving me 215 miles. Below are readings taken from photos of screens that show the estimated...

    MG4 Trophy headlamp adjustment

    I wasn't that clear in my post, but this is the last straw. Public charging is a pain; lane assist grabs the wheel out of my hands, ACC is jerky; radio freezes; mode defaults to Normal and other settings change back to default values. Long journeys are not comfortable; nowhere to hang a coat...

    MG4 Trophy headlamp adjustment

    Useful info but I already know the headlights are not adjusted. I checked Kwik Fit's website to see if they will set them up for me but its not in their list of services.

    MG4 Trophy headlamp adjustment

    My dipped beams shine nicely on the motorway at 5am before dawn in December and I could clearly see the road surface for at least 2 metres ahead. Under the bonnet there's little adjusters behind head front light but turning them made only 1 cms change in height of the dipped beams on the garage...

    Radio Freeze?

    Yes, I'm waiting for the local MG Dealer to ring me back... Meanwhile, here's what MG Motors HQ in Longbridge have to say: The change - Fahrenheit to centigrade - is software we have had available. Unfortunately, the factory didn’t make it easy to just change from one to another etc...

    Radio Freeze?

    I’m having a strange issue with the radio, it suddenly goes silent. I can change station or switch from DAB to FM but it never starts again until after I restart the car. This is kinda tricky at motorway speeds!! Is anyone else having this issue or should I go back to the dealer’s and ask them...

    My MG4 Trophy is Dangerous. And other Rants

    Is there a way you can let me have the version number that you have? Maybe mine is not up to date...

    The MG4. Trophy-ly obfuscated

    MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

    I was lucky. Grant Brown of Arnold Clark, Rutherglen, Glasgow, was the salesperson who fixed the Sat Nav issue for me on 24 Nov 22. My gripe is definitely with MG Motors UK and/or SAIC in China. The car's software is obfuscated (is that a word?)

    My MG4 Trophy is Dangerous. And other Rants

    I've done 100 miles and already feel experienced enough to post a rant! I love the Adaptive Cruise Control but switch to TJA, Traffic Jam Assist, and Lane Assist turns on too! This feature is dangerous because it seems to grab the wheel and steers awa' with the fairies! Turn off Lane Assist in...

    MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

    I've done 100 miles in my Trophy. But, stuff like the above is getting the better of me 🤣 This car has a software system that is obscure - getting the sat nav to work, setting the voice volume, turning on cruise control without having Lane Assist trying to drive me into a hedge rather than...

    MG4 Audio on sat nav

    Thank you!! I now have less deafening sat nav. Some controls are SO WELL hidden!

    MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

    It's a little potty, but having accepted permissions in Privacy section of Settings, scroll the page down further and check boxes appear below the current screen. Well hidden! There you will be able to enable voice and sat navigation.

    MG4 Trophy Sat Nav activation

    Thank you, thank you. Why was it so obscure? Now I've allowed permission, it still won't display navigation!!
