The MG4 EV is a battery electric small family car (C-segment) produced by the Chinese automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor under the British MG marque. First released in June 2022 as the MG Mulan in China, it is the first vehicle to be based on SAIC's battery electric Modular Scalable Platform (marketed as the Nebula platform in China). It was introduced in Europe as the MG4 EV in July 2022.

    Is there a way to read battery state in kWh?

    I don't know if anyone else has faced this, but I consistently see a 10% discrepancy in the charging rates and wonder if I can get to the bottom of this. I charge at work using Amp/Fuuse chargers, which consistently report 7kW charging rates. When I check the MG iSmart app about charging rate...

    It’s arrived !!!

    So the x power arrived today. Dynamic Red Very little time to actually drive it, but with what I did get in normal driving mode it was awesome fun. It’s a November 2023 build but registered 2 days ago. With the driving I’ve done so far briefly touching 90mph I have felt no unusual...

    XPower Gearbox Oil Breather ?

    Do we know if the XPower suffers from the oil breather leak I've been seeing in the MG4 forum, or had it been fixed before the Xpower came along ?

    Which update solves the failure to import the '+' of your phone numbers?

    I know some here reported the same issue when connecting the phone to system using bluetooth connection. Typically, anything in your phone book with international numbers was imported without the + character (or the 00 prefix), making the number invalid. I know an update solved this issue but...

    Poor design... a cautionary tale, always turn your wipers off

    I've been fairly happy with the lacking ignition or start/stop button... that is, until the below happened: It had been raining the previous evening, so I'd had the wipers on and didn't think to turn them off before I got out of the car. The next morning the car was covered in snow so I...

    More winter wonders

    Last year, I posted some video of a trip to the village in snowy conditions that left many other cars unable to get up the many steep hills on our area. I was amazed at Goth Leo's ability in the treacherous conditions. Today, I had to go the village again, and there's been a slight thaw. The...

    Are we allowed to jack up our MG4s

    This may sound like a daft question, but my friend has an EV (Polestar 2), and he has been told specifically he is not allowed to jack it up. I need to jack my MG4 up because I have a flat tyre, the car is at home, and I want to take wheel off, so I can take it to tyre place to get a replacement.

    2 R40 Workarounds and 1 new annoyance

    Not sure if these are well known, but after a few thousand miles I've found a couple of workarounds for a couple of R40 bugs. 1) radio not turning on - if it doesn't come on you only have to press the up volume on the steering wheel and hey presto 2) If your android auto is in day mode at night...

    Eco mode and level 3 regen in icy conditions

    My 2024 SE would not let me set up my normal driving preferences this morning. Which is eco mode with level 3 regen, SOC was 50% and there had been an ice warning from the car, when selecting the level 3 regen setting the car messaged me that full regen was not available ( as if I had 100%soc)...

    Frozen Charging Port Door? (Flap)

    Mods, I know there are plenty of Charging Flap related Debacles, but I've started afresh as I haven't seen this information before. Please move, if this has been covered elsewhere. After last year's faffing and Charging Flap related shenanigans, I got my hair off last night when it wouldn't...

    New X-Power would get a MY22 or MY24

    Hi, Looking to buy a new X-Power. Would you get a MY22 or MY24? (MY24 is odd naming given the MY24's are being delivered to the showrooms any day now from what I've been told.) MY22 - £1,884 cheaper MY24 - Identical in every way except range up a negligible amount, no bluetooth key (which I...

    Dishonest dealer or acceptable practice?

    How is this possible? Ad says 'Brand New' but car has 17" wheels, no rear wiper, no central headrest. So about 18 months old :unsure: https://www.autotrader.co.uk/car-details/202408072627521 Trading standards, anyone?

    Horrendous noise!!

    Hi. Long time since I posted but thought I’d ask you experts 😊 Drove my car earlier today and it was making a horrendous grinding, whirring, banging noise, the sort of noise you’d expect if an exhaust was hanging off but obviously it doesn’t have one! It went on for about 5 minutes, people...

    Run flats

    One of the (hopefully) final pieces in my "what-do-I-need-to-know-before-buying-an-MG4" knowledgebase is tyres. Being not that young and living in the countryside, I'd far rather have run-flats tyres than a repair kit that the MG4 appears to come with as standard. Is that possible and, if so...

    Brake corrosion and smoothness

    Hi, is anyone else having any brake issues ? The discs on show are corroding on the central part which looks unsightly and also unless I am very careful the brakes snatch on when coming to a steady stop. The car is 3 months old.

    MG Cyberattack concerns

    Does anyone know on here what remote control the Chinese have over MG4's if you don't sign up for the iSmart connectivity option? I am guessing that the car may still send data to the Chinese (location, charging patterns etc.), but presumably not identified with an individual under GDPR...

    ...Just ordered an MG4 Trophy ER (my first EV) any advice most welcome...

    Hello! Newbie here... After a week or so reading reviews etc I've just ordered an MG 4 Trophy extended range. It will be my first EV, so I thought it would be really useful to shout out to owners, as I'm sure there will be things I'm not aware of, or don't fully understand. I have a daily 20...
