The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

[DaveIJ]

Mine has been 4.4 but have shown off sports mode a bit and about 30 % motorway driving use adaptive re-gen

Apologies, I forgot to reset on the 1st of the month, so this is for August and part of July.

I’ve generally been in normal mode with medium Regen. Motorway journeys have been with cruise control set to 65mph and I’ve only gone above this occasionally for a quick overtake.

Although I’m occasionally seeing individual journeys of 4+ m/kWh, I’m overall under this and I’m not sure how some of you are getting 5+.

I did do a motorway journey today (Carlisle to Dundee) which used around 65% charge and got around 3.8 m/kWh. This was with 3 people in the car, as well as 2 dogs and some luggage.

I will definitely remember to reset tomorrow…

These are significantly more efficient than an MG4, so the claims about improved efficiency are true. This is excellent news.

Reckon mine is about 0.3-0.5 up on my regular work journey (compared to my 4 trophy).

Anyone care to wander back on topic?

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I was wrong before. I used a lot of V2L yesterday and it has made a significant impact on my consumption, from 5.3 to 3.2, so it would seem that you can't do both.

I think you have another post to move!

Thanks, it does relate to MGS5 consumption, so I'll leave it for now.

That’s why I put it here.
