There probably hasn't been a more outspoken critic of the the MG 4 on here, my wife's has been a pain in the preverbial but a 0-60 time of 7 secs isn't limp mode and the X Powers 0-60 times in relation to battery % are well documented
Bjorn Nyland tests acceleration Vs battery % on his channel...
I get that your car may have a fault and you are annoyed by it, ours has had it's fair share and I get that feeling but saying a cars 0-60 time isn't safe because it didn't reach 60 in just over 7 secs isn't a safety issue.
I get that it is less than advertised but it's still the acceleration of...
Bit like with wife's company with their fleet of mg4's they have had so many niggly issues and various cars off the road at times that they refused to renew the deal with MG.
Relatives Mégane has been faultless and Renault have more EV experience than most from the Zoe, the 5 has been a massive hit
I agree but similar concerns in auto express
spacious and sturdy but surprisingly pricey
MG's latest arrival isn't lacking in practicality, but some rivals manage to undercut it on price

Tough competition
The only extra stalk is really the media one, as quite a few EVs have gear selectors on the steering column.
I suppose it also has regen paddles but they actually work really well and are a great feature
Pretty much sums it up but you say nothing from France is that because perceived reliability or nothing in the segment?
As the scenic was a previous car of the year (although a whole lot smaller) and we can't really question reliability when this forum and BYDs is littered with issues with...
I think that's being generous re 60 miles short, how short are you of the wltp in your 4?
I'm pretty close to mine in my Born (mixed driving) and the wife is reasonably close to hers in her 4.
Id have an expectation to be getting 400 miles at least with mixed driving in mild/warm weather.
Not to go off on a tangent too much, but it was humans who messed about with sheep breeding that caused them to have too much wool and need it to be shorn; before we started doing that their coats looked more like goats.
That is atrocious aftersales, a known fault that could have and should have been rectified far sooner.
I wonder how much extra owners with the AC charging fault paid for DC charging in the periods MG were dragging their heels.
