NEW MG4 LONG-DISTANCE TEST AND REVIEW - 100% TO 0% - EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW!

EV Channels Review

The MG4 Trophy Long Range is put to the test on a 215-mile round trip from Burnley to Whitby, aiming to demonstrate its real-world driving range. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's new Modular Scalable Platform (MSP), which contributes to a low center of gravity, minimal body roll, and a planted, secure driving feel, comparing its handling favorably to the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6, and even the VW ID.3. The Trophy trim level is praised for its premium features like part-leather interior, heated seats, heated steering wheel, and projector LED headlights. The exterior design, particularly in the volcano orange color with a black roof, is described as distinctive and sporty. Interior space is noted as generous due to the long wheelbase. The MG Pilot driver assistance system, including adaptive cruise control and lane keep assist, is found to be effective for long journeys. The reviewer experienced a real-world range of approximately 215 miles on a single charge under challenging conditions (windy, wet weather), with 5% battery and 10 miles of range remaining upon return. While the car performed well, the reviewer suggests 220 miles might be a more realistic expectation in winter conditions with highway driving. Minor criticisms include the over-eager driver fatigue warning system and the use of piano black trim which shows fingerprints easily. Overall, the MG4 Trophy is presented as a strong contender in the EV market, offering a compelling package at a competitive price point.
