Thanks all,

I went for a long range one. I do 20k miles a year so I'm hoping for much less stopping at the charging stations. A welcome upgrade from my ZS EV.

It was a brand new one, but we're only on day 2 and I already have 250 miles on it Drove M5 -> M6 in Birmingham on my way to Manchester. It was absolutely amazing in an always congested / stop start traffic, with the Pilot on I didn't have to touch the accelerator even once. Generous 90s stop time is amazing and was a real cherry on top. I wasn't expecting it!

I'm not sure what you mean by this @rokfor2000 ?

In my old ZS EV, the moment the car came to a full stop in a traffic jam, I had to touch the accelerator to get it going again, even with the Pilot on.

With this one. It stops. and if the car ahead of you moves withing 90 seconds, it starts moving and follows it automatically. It's a small thing that is sooo noticeable ... It really made my day yesterday.

What colour did you get? What efficiency to you see on the journey?

 

[rokfor2000]

It's a black one. I got 3.1 miles/kW

I got a black one. I drove from Bristol to Wigan and got 3.1 mi/kWh.

The weather is still quite mild to be fair 310 miles range isn't too bad was that mainly fast roads?

 

[Oliver C]

Thank you. That is quite pleasing to hear.

Wow, that's a quick turnaround then!

Same order as mine - long range in black... Looks like we ordered at a similar time, but my estimate is around Feb / March!

Does make me think that MG are prioritising the private customer order rather than a lease / salary sacrifice! Glad you are enjoying the car and decent efficiency too!

To be honest, I've cast quite a wide web. I live in North West, but work for a company in Wiltshire as I'm doing that route quite often, the whole corridor was a fair game for me. I've spoken to a lot of dealers around M6 - > M5 ->M4. The one Bristol happened to have one, so I just jumped on it.

Think you'll be ok. It's not leather, so should be easily Wipeable. Wet wipes should do the trick.

Yes, for the seats. But what about that white dashboard? I think that material will look scruffy quite quickly. In fact, even some of the demo cars had a problem. The best combination for me would be the grey dashboard with white seats and door cards. Unfortunately, it's not possible to mix.

Pity they didn't have black seat/carpet option

Hi, I have test driven the Launch edition and was super impressed, however the Long Range seems more appealing purely on the bigger range (difference of approx 70 miles I believe).

I was hoping to be able to see the interior white/ivory in person but so far has not been possible but online images are confusing with some showing full white / ivory and other images showing back of driver seat white and grey plus dash board and sides of seats having some grey too - can anyone confirm the actual colouring pls of the white / ivory interior pls?

Hoping to finalise order for white on white tomorrow but have asked for the logos on the car to be in black as the silver logos on white don't look great and black would match glass roof plus tyres - any thoughts on changing the logo colours to black?

Hello @Shazay, welcome to the forum.

If you mean the front logo, you can get black overlays > Overlay.
