Congratulations on the new car, Clive! Will be following your findings closely.
Quick question: shouldn't it have a black roof, being the Extended Range version?

One of the first replies to this thread was exactly regarding the average speeds shown, and this was my answer (to @NLMGSAN) at the time:
This answer still stands today.
The only type of driving that I'll do that I consider slow is when doing long-ish journeys on the motorway - in those...

Current overall combined efficiency, after 32,795 km: 15.4 kWh/100km (4.03 mi/kWh).
In my case, the high consumption is due to the heating being on. I've discussed here before how much this eats away the battery.
Most of my mileage is urban and I never go above 100km/h on the motorway anyway.
I was very surprised to see various new facelifted MG4's being unloaded this morning from a truck, here at my local MG dealer (it's near the place where I work). Saw a couple of new colours and also noticed that the 18'' aluminium wheels are new and looked very nice from a glance (the cars did...

I'm not entirely sure I'm getting what you're trying to say, especially because you refer to "Continental PremiumContact" in general.
As far as I know, there are at least two versions of the PremiumContact: the numbered ones ("5", "6", etc.) and then there's the "C". I can buy both the numbered...
By far, the car outperforms the tyre in that regard.
I can agree with that, but only up to a point. Maybe I'm just being naif, but I wasn't expecting a well-known brand delivering such bad tyres, worst than unbranded ones. And I do question if the bad reputation the brands get for this is worth...
Sure, of course. But it's much more than just that: these are downright terrible, regardless of the brand or origin.
There are Chinese branded tyres out there much better than these ones (and costing 1/3 of the price).
Again, these tyres have no place in such a car and no serious tyre brand...
