Mine (2023 XP) came like that (1km increments, long press for 5km?) but elsewhere on this forum I read it came with an update. Previously it was as per your test drive.

I live out of Sydney on the main route west, and I regularly see an orange XPower when I shop at the nearest big shopping centre. I also see (another) blue one, driven very slowly by a woman who looks 70-ish+ (no shade, I'm almost there), I see green ones occasionally, & a couple of reds. I...

😁 I downloaded one when it disappeared from the app, and scored a hard copy when I bought it.

Yes. Mine's charging past 80% right now. 2.2.2 has also returned the manuals - I've had no access to manuals in the app since 2.x arrived (others have, but now mine's returned)

Here, XPowers have more features than the Excite (51 or 64) versions. If the additional features don't matter to you, does performance matter? An XPower will get to 100km/h in half the time it takes a 51. 🤷‍♂️ It's intoxicating...but probably unnecessary. You can, of course, drive the XPower in...

I err... normally... use normal and OPD. I rarely charge past 90%, so OPD shouldn't be reduced because there's nowhere for the charge to go. The actual OPD effect varies considerably, no matter my state of charge. Sometimes strong, sometimes poor enough I check it's still on. I far prefer it...

👆👆👆 This! 😁

The one about your MG5's economy? 🤔

Oh it's definitely a daft idea. That's why I bought one 😂

As far as I know, it's only when planted. 😁

Gawd, I'm silly enough at my advanced age, in my 20s I'd have been in a ditch within a week. We lost a few friends to over enthusiasm back then. It's much quicker than my then quick bike!

You'll love your new XP. It's acceleration is out of this world - my mate calls mine a spacecar - "my stomach got turned inside out" + lots of swearing! And that was only launching in normal. Launch is hilarious fun. Plenty of ICE cars have higher max speeds, but very few reach legal limits as...

A 2022 is 3 years old. If it's a 2022 , the price should be far less than what the same dealer is selling 2025, or even 2024 models. When you sell it, the buyer will only offer 2022 prices, even though it's basically identical. The build date should be stamped on the car (maybe a plaque). In...

According to iSmart, my XPower charges on granny at 1.3 to 1.6kW. Usually 1.4-1 5. My solar app tells me charging draws 1.5 to 1.9kW. I assume peak charging occurs at peak draw, so ~2-300W are lost. All figures approximate.

I know you notice more people driving the same car as you after you buy, but it's taken me 4 months to see 5 other #MG4s on a trip between the mountains and Penrith - a red, another blue, Camden grey, silver, & XPower green. I thought I saw more, but it was too hard to tell while driving. 😁...
