MGS5 Information & Reviews

[FCat53]

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……

I'm getting 4.1-4.3 in normal driving, so 260-270.

But does it have UV protection on all/ or ANY window glass ?, I guess I know the answer !

Not finding my arms burning on MGS5 like my ZS, and rears also tinted on Trophy.

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

Are you sure about the WiFi, the hotspot on my phone is turned off as is the Bluetooth Internet sharing ,also my car is parked only 6 feet from my home router and the car does not ask to connect to it. However if I go to WiFi settings on my phone it shows MG as an available network, and in the system settings on the infotainment screen it shows a password to enable you to connect to the car's Wifi. I have the Wifi and hotspot and data turned off on the car and everything works perfectly via the Bluetooth and android auto ie I can watch YouTube play music use Google maps. The cars satnav works perfectly without the phone as I discovered when I inadvertently left it at home one day.

His review is pretty good but he makes a few mistakes, like saying it doesn't have one pedal driving, he just hadn't found it...

Yes, I commented on that, didn't mention the easy turn off of 'driver aids', or power tailgate.

I tried commenting twice but my comments just disappear. Not sure if he doesn't like me or if I got automodded for mentioning something the modbot didn't like.

My comments are there, were you using an adblocker?

Nope, from what I can read one comment might have been blocked because I mentioned carwow which the auto mode could have caught.

Are you talking about comments left on YouTube or comments here?

But it is not part of the customization option. So every time you need to activate it. Also, it is not clear what is saved and reapplied after you start up the car again. So it could be ELK will default yet again.....

So every time you need to activate it.

Not on mine. OPD is permanent and persistent.

 

[NLMGSAN]

Aah. Thanks. That is bonus.
Now, if all saved preferences are considered as default at startup, that would be an even bigger improvement.

 

[TimothyN]

Some are saved, others are in a profile.

Generally things to do with driving preferences are permanent.

If you switch off "safety systems" you can save your preferences, but have to manually invoke those preferences every start using MGPilot. That's two button presses, and is somewhat annoying, but not the end of the world.

When you compare it to others it's a lot better. I believe on the EV3 for example you cannot turn off the nagging.

Thanks. Very informative.
Any experience with voice controls?
