New owner.. A bunch of questions

[Vels]

Hi all, new user looking to trade in the car for my first EV

Looking out for a 6-9 month old 4 Luxury (don't know if the model name is everywhere, I'm in Denmark)

Is there anything in particular to be observant of on the 4 when I spot the right car for me?

Getting underbody rustproofing sprayed do/don't?

Can rear lights be programmed to come on with DRL? And is the consumption significant?

What is the real city/mix/highway km in the 64 kWh battery when it's 0-5 degree C (as in 4 months of the year here)

Any must read resources, or any must do items to have a long battery and vehicle life?

Thanks

I'm in DK too
There are several MG4 in Denmark. Standard Range = Nordic, Long range = Trophy/Luxury LR (MG change their naming every week it seems), and Extended range = Trophy/Luxury ER
You can't have rear lights on only with DRL, they come on by your dipped beam (but maybe a tech technician can fix that?)

I love my ER, it's leased so I can't comment on a few if your Q's

PS ABRP is pretty acourate for the ER so you can simulate quite a bit with that.

Thank you.. Similar forums has been fantastic changing brand or model.
I'm looking forward to being here.

We have an SR so a different model and can't say much about the range.

A few people seem to have had bad luck with software issues - there may be some glitchy cars out there.

Issues we had were:
Front door button not working (hopefully will be replaced under warranty)
Car bound to previous user - make sure they unbind their account.

Good luck with your search!

As for range, I get about 370km with mixed driving ( max 90 km/h roads) here in Norway in the 0-5c range.
Lowest I have got is about 180km ? when there was -15c. That is with heated seats and steering wheel.

Range falls extremely fast below zero.

Today after charging it claimed 452km range, good to finally have higher temperatures outside ?

Had my MG4 for three months now and delighted with the car. One fault is I can’t charge using type 2,but going in for diagnostic on Wednesday and repair under warrant. I drive very carefully and did a full 100 percent charge yesterday and on eco shows 301 miles range. Getting 4.2mikes per kWh.Can’t whack that.

DrJohn20, your profile says 'MG5'.

With regards to your lack of charging using type 2, what marque are you driving and is it one without a rear wiper?

I moved to mg4 three months ago, and it does not have a wiper, which I feel is a big mistake.

It would be helpful if you can update your forum profile to show which exact model you have. ?

 

[DrJohn20]

I have now MG4 ev long range 62kwh, 2023 model,first registered 22nd March 2023.

 

[siteguru]

In the forum profile, under the Driving: option that would either be MG4 SE LR or MG4 Trophy LR.

DrJohn20, have you read the threads about inability to charge on AC? If not then it is highly recommended.

Yes, this could well be a faulty CCU, it is the right version of the MG4.
