MG4 Trophy LR delivered today.

Been driving a Mokka-e since 2021. So this is a bit of an upgrade. One thing that's immediately apparent. The MG App is better than the Vauxhall pos. A start AND a stop time...swanky !

Congratulations on your new wheels! I'm sure you'll love the car.

Welcome to the forum @Ethanedwards, I know nothing about the Mokka-e, but I'm sure you'll enjoy MG4.

Welcome along! You'll need to let us know the important stuff - what colour?

Camden Grey.
I work in Colchester ( twice a week) and it's a 75m commute. So on the Mokka-e ( it was an early one with 201m range or 186after 4yrs) so I used to arrive home with only 54% left .

Which meant to avoid any anxiety, charging it every time I used it. Cos you never know what the A12 will throw at you. Closures , diversions etc. Been doing this commute 18yrs now used to be 5days a week.

Well the MG has sufficient range to charge once a week, do my two commutes, then enough left over for some stuff over the weekend. Its just done the two commutes with 35% to spare. In winter too, it was zero on Wednesday. So pretty decent performance. Especially as I really dont understand it much yet. The Vauxhall I knew how to get the best out of it. Now learning the MG.

Probably much the same Ethan, slower you go the further you can go.
The unavoidable stuff will be the same, cold, wet roads, headwinds and hills etc will all reduce range.
Personally I don't think regen settings make a lot of difference. it seems no matter what you set the amount of regen is about the same.
If you have an unsteady right foot, lower regen levels on motor way could help. There are people here that swear it does. But I just leave mine in OPD as that's my preferred driving method.

 

[Ethanedwards]

Well the Mokka-e has mild regen all the time it also has a bit less mild regen - the B button. Overall pretty weak though, our Fiat500e in Range mode had far more. But still careful use of the B button did make a difference. I may leave it in adaptive.

yep, try and see, go with what works for you.
But be sure to give OPD a fair trial, you may fall in love with it like I did.
