The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

Pretty similar to the wife's MG4

You can't really compare different people's results because terrain, weather and driving style/speeds makes such a difference.

But comparing the same person, driving the same routes in a similar weather, is a useful guide. Hence why @Alb sharing results was useful.

Here's mine for November. 95% urban use ferrying grandkids. Always use OPD, AC on auto 21C, and NORMAL mode (except on one occassion when a yoof in an Astra with a baked bean can exhaust started giving me the bad eye at a set of traffic lights.... whereupon I must admit I thought it only right to show him that pensioners' rule, and stuck it in SPORT mode for a few miles )

I'm starting to really enjoy this car despite it's software misgivings.

Exactly the same for me - mileage and efficiency

I'm consistently 0.7 to 1 mile more than wifey. Although she does the school run and uses the heater a lot more than I do.

Winter in my country not many times it got above 5°
I can say it's 25kwh+ on highway with speed 135kmh.
And yes I didn't buy an electric car to drive slow.

I continue to be pleasantly surprised by the MGS5. Not only a consistent energy consumption improvement on the MG5 but a completely unexpected 4.x for December!

I’ve only done a few hundred miles in my Trophy LR so far, but very disappointed to only get 3.0 miles/kWh. I’ve driven it very sedately as I get used to it, and use OPD. I consistently got between 3.7 (in winter) and 4 (through spring and summer) out of my Polestar, which as a company car I drove much more fruitily. I expected this to match that or better it, given its claimed range is longer despite a slightly smaller battery. If it doesn’t improve I shall be pissed though as it will be used every few weeks for taking stuff to trade shows and I didn’t expect to need to charge it on the round trips (which I will if it stays at its current level of efficiency).

I shall reset the trip tomorrow morning and report back after my first full month in it.

Unfortunately i accidentally reset the counter at some point in the month so can’t make a submission for December.

764 miles covered and I estimate the figure to be around 2.7m/kWh due to lots of short journeys where I was only seeing 2m/kWh.

The longer journeys seem to be more efficient at this cold time of year. I guess it is due to the consumption being higher whilst the car warms up.
