MG5 Range Accuracy

[Tims Travels]

Hello all

I’m collecting a 61kWh Exclusive this week. I’ve previously driven a 1st generation Kia Soul EV which gave tremendously accurate range. What it said was what you got. I was wondering if anyone could give me an idea of how the MG5 holds up? Is the guessometer fairly accurate?

GOM uses previous diving history from trip counters etc. I base my range in my SR as 1% to 2 miles and the GOM is about right.

I am doing the same at the moment with my 1 month old Facelift. Hoping it will improve in the warmer weather

I don't know how the guessometer works on Kias but on the MG it works as described above by @Jomarkh
This means it can never predict accurately if you change your driving pattern for example spend weeks pootling around town and then decide to do a motorway run.
The way around this is to rest the accumulated trip in that scenario before setting off on the motorway journey. It then becomes pretty accurate as it is now basing on current data.

NB the current trip resets itself if car not used for a shortish period
