MG 4

Same here. But my confidence is quite low at this stage.

Also, there's one more lesser issue reported with the SR - charging on 350 kW chargers peaks at 82 kW max, with battery heating turned on. It would be less without it. The brochure says 117 kW peak. 80ish is similar to Kona.

This might get fixed with a SW update. But again, might, might not, it's a gamble.

The LR on the other hand is overperforming vs specs - peaking at 140 kW vs 135 kW advertised.

One positive to add to the news on the MG4 to follow all the concerns over oil leaks and bulging underfloors: You can now buy roof bars on the MG Danish website (https://mgmotors.dk/tilbehoersshop/) - 60kg roof rating. I assume that means it's going through whatever certification is required before formally being signed off.

The lack of roof load was a concern for myself as the boot is relatively compact (and was removing a lingering doubt on whether I should look at the MG5 instead...). Some enterprising early adopters in the UK have also spotted you can remove the plastic holder (by undoing two screws) in the boot containing the emergency tyre accessories, freeing up some extra space also.

Miles says report are not as widespread as on social media only 12 cases of oils leaks

And UK had another delivery last week and maybe 2 more before Ireland so issues should be sorted. And if its a disaster like bz4x I'll wait for Atto 3.

They didn't show the undertray 😉

I'd certainly like to have a rear view camera, front sensors, heated seats and heated steering wheel. The camera gives another view beyond mirrors/eyes and gives extra feeling of security when reversing but I didn't have one in my old Mazda 3 which had limited rear visibility and I lived with it for many years so imagine could probably do the same with the MG4. The heated seats/wheel I always thought were gimmicks but, once I had them, I find that they're very pleasurable on a cold, cold morning. I suppose you can mitigate that with cabin preheat on the MG4 though. I'm not gonna stump up for Exclusive/Trophy spec though - brings it too close to more mainstream brands and the value proposition is not as great.

I think that I saw somewhere on UK forum that someone was looking at fitting done aftermarket camera kit. Wouldn't be 360 but just rear would suffice imo. I'll keep an eye out for it again.

The MG5 would offer some more spec over the MG4 on base level spec but one thing reviewers keep saying is that it's not a driver's car and this is where the MG4 seems to excel (in EV terms anyway).

Can't say that I'm keen on the "frog-face" look myself from the photos but might well look better in the flesh.

Wow. Is that the motor exposed there?

Exposed to dirt and water and all sorts of things on the Irish roads 😵‍💫 What would happen to it when exposed to the elements?

They're saying it's safe to drive and not an issue but I'm not sure it should be exposed for a longer period of time.

Did anyone hear from dealers about any shipping dates from China?

There has been a few issues that that the under cover of the car is bulging and in the photo the whole cover fell off
