I notice the Australian version has a panoramic sun roof.

I've also noticed that all countries have a manual dim/dip rear view mirror. It looks like they've taken the power source for the mirror to supply the overhead USB socket for a dash-cam.
 
Just joined - please don't flame me for asking..
Does the MGS5 have front radar-assisted Cruise / AEB, or just camera-based computer vision detection?
This was cited in the Bjorn video above as a possible reason for phantom braking episodes (similar to Tesla issues), but he may have been driving a pre-production model.

Thanks Delascas almost, didn’t get detailed enough, trying to get my head around the WiFi/data/hotspot/bluetooth and what does what.

Wifi: Connect to available Wifi networks nearby, ie the wifi created from hotspot your phone. Once Wifi is connected, the car will use data from wifi instead of built-in data from the SIM card
Data: Turn on/off data connection from built-in SIM card
Hotspot: Turn your car into a Wifi hotspot with the data from the built-in SIM card
Bluetooth: Connect to Bluetooth devices, ie, your Phone. You can also connect a BT keyboard to the car also...

For example, when I'm charging and I want to watch YouTube, I turn on hotspot on my phone and connect the infotainment screen to the wifi network created by my iphone, and the car will use my phone as the source of data

Could anyone reconfirm the real-world range for the Trophy LR?

210 doesn’t seem that optimistic!

I get that in winter on my MG4 trophy on a good day……
