Honest review of the MG4 XPower

[Panther]

I am seeing around 230 miles when full on mine, a 116 mile round trip on b roads mainly used 49% did a 105 mile motorway trip at weekend and used 50% so similar.

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, longest I've driven in one go.

My xpower is showing 312miles from 100%

No chance you will get that though, but looks good

Nobody disputed what it showed .. just that when you come to use the car the chances of actually getting that range are infinitesimally small.

Depends how and where you drive.

Don't think it matters how or where you drive. You ain't gonna get 314 miles from an X Power.

And if (by some miracle) you do, why have an XPower in the first place?

You might have a hybrid XPOWER with the Extended Range battery fitted

What's wrong with having a fast car that can be really efficient. Think you guys would die at my 6.5m/kwh last summer

Depends how and where you drive.

On a standard road map its downhill all the way from just south of Edinburgh to north London. You will need to charge up several times for the return journey.

The MG4 is not an efficient car though, Model 3 as example would slaughter it.
If you hypermile it then yes it is possible.

Must be driving it like miss Daisy is in the back, no way an x power is returning over 300 miles with anything like normal speed limit driving

Nothing at all, it would be bloody great!
But not at the expense of not doing, what the X Power was bought for in the first place. Having fun! Drive an X Power like it's begging to be driven, and it's not efficient at all, but who cares.
