Picked up new MGS5 today

[dave5492]

Got my new MGS 5 trophy long range today love the colour just wondering if anyone knows how to pre set the heating so the car is nice & warm before I get in .

Congrats @dave5492, yes it's a lovely colour, have you got the MG iSMART app?

 

[dave5492]

Yes

 

[MG Clive]

Look under 'Climate' on the app, it should be fairly clear what you need to do.

 

[dave5492]

Just found I’ll try that cheers

I have had mine a couple of months now and have to say I am really pleased. The range is great and so is the efficiency.
I have used IONITY chargers twice and the charging speed was excellent.

 

[dave5492]

Hi, Dave how many miles to a charge are you getting having a EV charger fitted next week a ohme one with octopus energy so off peak is 7.5p

 

[DaveIJ]

Im charging to 80% at home and so far since new with a couple of long motorway drives
my efficiency rating is 4.3 miles per Kwh. Much higher for urban driving. only done just over 2000 miles but I am very impressed so far.

Good colour choice Dave!
If you are interested in consumption, check out this thread:

Thread 'The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread'

Jul 31, 2025

This is the MGS5 version of my MG5 thread - same rules and same reasoning.
Reset the "Accumulated Total" at the start of each month and record your average at the end of that month.
It can't start properly until the end of August so this will serve as a reminder to anyone wishing to participate that the first reset must be tomorrow (1st August).
I'll publish what I have just now as a starter although it isn't really representative of a proper month so wont end up on the graph I'll later add.
