Telling LR and SR apart

[abucksdiver]

From way-back-when I test drove the ZS, I don't remember any badgework etc. identifying the battery capacity.
When my mythical car does arrive, how do I check it is the Long Range version, or do you just have to trust the Dealer/MG?

There’s a thread somewhere about this. I think the battery capacity is on the info plate inside the drivers side door body along with tyre pressures etc.

Hi,
On the MG5 you can pop your head under the car and read the battery

Look at the estimated range on the infotainment display. On a 100% charge, LR over 200 miles; SR under 200 miles. You can extrapolate if the car isn't at 100%.

Yeah - Also on the same charging percentage screen, you will find that you are unable to slide the percentage bar down to 80% SOC and get it stay in position on the SR models.
It will keep bouncing back up to 100% due to the different battery type used on the SR models.
On the LR models you can set this percentage at 80% etc and it will hold at your desired position to achieve your required SOC.
On the screen on the LR it will display an estimated 212 miles of range when setting / charging to a level of 80%.
This can be seen on the App also !.

IIRC someone mentioning the Vin plate info tells you the motor output.
The SR has a 130kW motor and the LR has a 115kW.

I recall the previous post said the car in the service station charging will be a short range one
