Not an MG
Range Displayed

The range displayed is not wholly based on the battery capacity and the mileage advertised.

An algorithm within the car looks at existing battery capacity and driving history, examining previous journeys miles per kwh for example and derives an estimate of what range may be available.

Speed, cabin heating, terrain, regen use, weather conditions, to name some of the factors involved, will have an impact on miles per kwh and therefore it is purely an estimate, as was the range when you collected your vehicle.

The range available will not take into consideration the type of journey you may have planned based on the above factors and therefore regard it as just an estimate.

And?

How much charge does it have?
How have you been driving it?
What's the temperature like?

Did you really believe the SE LR would do 280 miles in winter?
100% charge it was 6oc yes I don’t believe 280 miles but more than 195

You omitted the important one - how have you been driving it? The GOM estimates range based on the average miles per kWh since the previous charge (or since the last Start).

If you'd been getting 3 mpkWh then 3 x 61.7 = 185 miles. 195 miles would suggest just under 3.2 mpkWh.

Yes nearly all my running is non town use but I do generally keep to the limits

Just thought to open up this thread to discuss the range of MG4 cars.
Anyone noticed that MG4 range is significantly down. I have MG4 Trophy and its only showing 220miles after 100% charge. Anyone experiencing similar issue?

If anyone know settings which will increase the range, please reply.

Many Thanks
