Given that the MG4 was released in Australia in August 2023, the first scheduled service for the first on the road would be August this Year. Mine will be due on 14th of September.
LKA mods will be welcome but I have learned to live with what I've got & I drive more accurately on 110 kmh highways. The benefits look like they will be felt on lesser single lane each way highways & mostly I don't use ACC on these roads but LKA is still on so this will be a positive move. The UK correspondent thinks so anyway.
The Satnav improvements for route planning will be good. This was promised by October 2023 when I purchased my car but took another year to come to fruition. Interestingly iSmart lists all the new chargers so if you are in a bind & can't use Android Auto or Apple Carplay you can find all the nearest chargers that way.
The MG4 is capable of OTA updates but as they chose to run with a Vodafone SIM presumably with limits so they will not invoke this. It is available in China & I believe at one stage was in Thailand but due to network issues it was scrapped there.
I like the ACC speed increase/decrease system as is. When I set the level inevitably it is 2-4km over or under the limit I want so a single up or down press on the toggle sorts it out as it changes to the nearest 5kmh. For example I want the ACC set at 100kmh & it is at 103kmh when I set it. A single press down & it is on 100 kmh. The upgrade makes this more complex.
I downloaded the 2 & 4 years service schedules before they removed it from the website. I will be asking for the price and schedule details before my first service & if there is significant change then there are issues surrounding breach of contract that may need to be addressed.
The original price for the 4 year service was over the top. There was little different from the 2 year service, just battery and transmission coolant renewal & transmission fluid replacement but the price was triple. I spoke to an MG salesman about this & he advised me to take it up with the service dept as he also thought it was over the top.
On a positive note, the MG4 has never let me down & the driving experience has far outweighed the issues mentioned above. Overall it is a great car. I paid top dollar at the time but at least got a government subsidy. Those who purchased during the price drop promotion got really good deals.
