I’ve had my Camden Grey MG4 Trophy 2 weeks. Overall I’m very happy with it. Yes the lane assist and AEB can be a bit annoying, and I occasionally have to restart the infotainment when the radio decides to go quiet, but otherwise no issues.
Anyway, this weekend I have done a long range trial to Manchester and back from Darlington with the missus. It’s a 218 mile round trip and I knew it would be close run thing to do it on a single charge, with the majority of the trip on motorway and over the Pennines too. But it did it… Just! I nearly bailed out with a fast charge at Scotch Corner on the way back, but I had 8 miles to go with 15 miles range, so carried on.
My cruising speed on the motorway was between 65 and 70mph. I was on Eco mode and had the heating on on the way there. Aircon on the way back as and when required if the windows started misting. At 10% battery on the way home I took the option of energy saving mode. Two photos attached are arrival at Manchester Piccadilly and arrival back in Darlo. 3.7 miles per kWh overall isn’t too shabbby in my opinion for that trip. At least I know what it can do!
