MG4 LONG RANGE TROPHY: THE REAL RANGE, EFFICIENCY, THE GOOD AND BAD

EV Channels Review

The MG4 Long Range Trophy is presented as a capable and comfortable all-rounder, offering good value for money in the electric hatchback segment. The reviewer highlights its pleasant driving dynamics, comfortable ride, and decent equipment levels, including adaptive cruise control and a heated steering wheel. However, the vehicle's software is a significant drawback, exhibiting lag, bugs, and erratic behavior, particularly with the climate control and navigation system freezing. The navigation's inability to suggest logical charging stops for longer journeys is a major point of criticism, potentially frustrating for new EV owners. Real-world range varied significantly, with the reviewer achieving between 225 and 270 miles, heavily dependent on driving conditions, with motorways proving less efficient. Despite these software and efficiency inconsistencies, the MG4 is ultimately deemed a good practical family car with a thumbs up for its overall package.
