Miles' MG4 Long-Distance Review (over 200 miles in a day)

[Miles Roberts CG]

Finally got our MG4 Trophy Long Range demonstrator in Volcano Orange, so took it for a drive to the North Yorkshire coast to test the real-world range. (Was Friday 7th October - so strong winds most of the day, and heavy rain in the morning).

Hope you find the video useful!

Excellent long range test on various types of roads and weather conditions, Great drone shot also.
I wanted an EV that would get me from the Inverness area and down to Edinburgh or Glasgow without getting stuck on the mountains on the A9 (over 180 miles) This is it.

Well done Miles with the review and range test, very clear and understandable in all aspects, glad you took the time to point out the towing and carrying capacity for both towing and bike carrying, plus the roof load or lack of it should explain to a few on the forum and put that query to bed, so yeh well done and thank you

A proper review unlike the person who did the Car Wow one

Useful and informative video. Professionally produced. Audio was clear despite the wind and road noise. Loved the drone shots and slick editing.

@Miles Roberts CG please could you give us more information about reduction gear oil leak issue. What is MG UK saying to dealers about it? Is this an isolated fault related to a batch? Thanks in advance for your input.

Really enjoyed the video. Thanks @Miles Roberts CG

@Miles Roberts CG Does MG actively engage with dealers like yourself on feedback from customers especially since this is a new model car on software update and bug fixes and any schedule for fixing.

Thanks for the detailed review. I wanted to ask if stopping and taking all the drone shots wouldn't affect the range of the car during the test?

Thanks for the feedback.
We are told it's because the transmissions have been overfilled. The fix is to drain the oil and refill to the correct level

Oh yes, the car was left switched on all the time we were filming, so 5 and a half hours of driving, but the car (and heaters) were on for 8.5hrs.

Hi Miles might be a bit more to it then this just in case you have not seen it at #106 in the gearbox oil leak thread Crawfyt has reported his car as been back and the oil level was a little on the low side to start with and after a refill it it is still leaking.

12 months, and either 10k (low mileage servicing) or 15k miles (regular servicing).

A bit disappointing, Niro EV is 2 years.

Always useful to have an inspection every 12 months, even if there's no oil/filters/coolant to change.

Does the MG4 come with a supplied V2L adapter?

No, it's an optional accessory (available to order via the dealer).
