I've heard a lot of people complain about the driver assistance on the MG's. I've driven the MG5 and never had problems with it. quite the opposite, went a lot better than I expected. the drive had a lot of corners and traffic. the only time it didn't work "properly" was on the really sharp corners. other than that, I had it on the whole drive and braked and turned as it should. yes, sometimes its a bit "harsh" on the steering, but never to the point where I was scared or uncomfortable with it.

I have an MG ZS EV Mk1 (2020) and the lane assist if put on highest setting is reckoned very good and I find it excellent.

As I say, these autonomous features are fantastic and you can absolutely trust your life on them, eight times out of ten. @@jimirosa

And EV without a heater is just a bad joke. But I can explain you why. Because here where I live in a hot country with non-stop working air-conditioner mileage of any EV is not over 200km with fully charged battery driving straight with constant speed. Same situation will be with working heater in cold countries - not over 150-200km.

The MG 4 does have some good features like you pointed out especially the ability to heat the battery, why all manufacturers don't do this is beyond me. Also heat pumps should be standard in EV vehicles if they increase the range. Its like BMW charging you for heated seats on a monthly basis. More cold weather tests please as even here in the UK our EV's suffered with the cold weather recently. It is a pity manufacturers don't give range figures for spring / summer and autumn / winter but I guess people wouldn't buy the EV. Hoovies garage did a really interesting video on the F150 EV lightning range in cold weather.

At the beginning it was stated that the WLTP figs were 435km of range at 166W/km. Later in real world driving it was 250 W/km. That's a huge difference. Also, the batteries are NCM and thus it is recommended that charge is either 80 or 90% maximum and discharge is not less than 5%, further reducing range. Thus max range of 211 Km in those conditions. Pathetic. My Mazda 2 gets 1000km on 44 li of diesel. Why on earth would I want an EV?

It seems that the main problems- lane assist and infotainment navigation are fixable with software improvements. I hope so, but for normal driving I have found this to be an excellent car with superb value. One thing not mentioned (except for door closure) is the build/paint quality. It compares well with Mazda and that is a very high standard, definitely not 'Chinese rubbish'.

The MG4 is a lovely car. But in Denmark it is now so close in price to a Tesla Model 3 Standard Range that it is hard not to choose the Tesla. Regarding assistant systems, I have just driven the MG4 for a week again. The car has had a software update, but unfortunately it is still a weakness of the car. Thanks for watching.

The thing about the temperature is fixed. It was a software error showing 5 degrees too much. So 26 in the display was really 21. On mine now 21-22 is ok in the Norwegian winter with -14 outside.

My friend took a 32 grand black MG model in Scotland.. it’s fine … the trunk/boot is too small for my liking … they are fast .. and charge fast … you can get these in Scotland via Mobility for disabled and elderly … a Two grand upfront payment..for the long range model … Technology of cars is moving faster … stopping noise …petrol and diesel contaminants …will help clean up cities dramatically… now we look at clean Electricity Production and sadly oil dependency of Arab nations will render them …. Poorer … when oil is not in high demand… Bless

Kia ora, Jimi greetings from Aotearoa (New Zealand). Thanks for the review, we do not have this car yet in N.Z. Nearest to this is the MGZS ev and BYD Atto3. Where I live (central)is mostly temperate, only the volcanic plateau and far south get as cold as northern Europe. What we do have is hills and mountains, how would the rear drive be going up to ski fields in winter? Good to see the charging is very good. There is no heat pump? Did you have all season or winter tyres?

Thanks for watching Simon. Here in Denmark we are lucky. Huge number of electric cars are available here. This is also why I only make content about EV’s. The MG4 is far better than ZSEV. It has a heat pump and charges on 3 fases (in Denmark), although borg not in the cheaper Nordic Edition, which I also mention in the video. The tires on the car in the video are winter tires. Merry Christmas
