I test drove the Kia E-Niro a while back and it had an auto setting too. The car could decide which level it wanted at any given time. Can't remember exactly how it knew which level was needed but I do really hope it has one pedal driving too. At the very least, is able to do Regen whilst MG pilot is active like my MG5 does. I know the ZS's (pre facelift and current ones) would resort to friction braking and not regen whilst MG pilot was active!?!
I'd assume the only way it could auto is all to depend on the speed you're doing? So i guess at speed it does little and at low speed it does strong regeneration.?
and using radar in front for vehicle proximity ?
Ah yes that aswell, if it was super clever maybe detect speed zones using satnav or road signs
The MG4 spec does mention both "Adaptive Cruise Control " & "Intelligent Speed Limit Assist with traffic sign recognition" on all trims.
Not necessarily true. Its likely there will be more LR Trophy's in the early batches (it helps with the residual value) but its also likely to the most popular so it all depends when you order. Ordering could open at any time and it will almost certainly be before the middle of September.
Hi Sam. I have a £99 pre order with you guys for an MG4 SE LR. Do you guys know when MG HQ will be letting you know September allocations and what's the current ETA on demo cars?
Oooh, everyone is now waiting for an answer..
Demos on track for mid Sept.
Thanks you for posting. It is great to have real data and genuine experiences from users. I agree that the MG4 will likely charge even more efficiently than the 5 and owners will likely be happy with what they get. My point was merely we need to see the charge profile curve or independent testing to know for certain.If it's any reassurance - I was charging my mg5 lr at a gridserve 350kw charger the other day and there was a e-Niro (71 plate so not the Niro EV) charging at the same time as me. We both had about the same level of charge at the start - I peaked at 90kw, his peaked at 73. Mine throttled slowly down to 57 as it neared and passed 70% charge, and his rate was consistently 15-20kw below mine. I'm far from knowledgeable, being new to EVs, and maybe my battery was warmer but it seemed like a fair comparison.
I can't see the MG4 having a worse charging speed than the 5. If it equals or exceeds the 5 then you should be ok.
If I am talking out of my backside and being an idiot, I'm sure someone will be along to tell me shortly
Edited to say I had scanned your post and missed the line about quality 150kw chargers. The 350 chargers are the only rapids I've tried.
If true that is disappointing. I really don't understand why it would be such a low rating if designed from the ground up as an EV. Whilst I acknowledge that it is better than nothing (and better than ID3), >1000kg would put it more in line with ICE cars of a similar size as other manufacturers have started doing. I hope the dealer is misinformed or making guesses, maybe something official will be published by MG soon!
It's definitely 500kg. I checked with MG UK.
Thanks for confirming Miles. I'll have to take my trailer loaded with firewood to a weighbridge to check it! Suspect that I may have to wait a little longer for my affordable tow-capable EV though.
