One pedal driving survey

[Rolfe]

That's my position too, also having come from a Golf with a DSG. I expect the crawl, and use it.

From the outside looking in it does seem another unnecessary faff having to activate it, every time you get in the car.
It would make more sense to have it as the default and you could deactivate it

Depends what you want. For those of us that don't like it, better it has to be activated.

Though far better to have a proper user profile system with one button to select driver/user.

This is a source of debate on the Cupra forum, as every journey start up gives you a screen message to change users and won’t go away until you press ok.
Bloody annoying when I and other owners will never, ever have another profile.
One profile should mean no option to change user message!

 

[Bluemotor]

I'm all for it. I had it on the Leaf and I miss it. If you don't want it, then simply don't turn it on.

Have you asked your dealer to find out if MY22 cars can be updated?

The MY22 cars are certainly capable of OPD without any hardware updates ... e.g. ACC will bring you to a complete stop if the vehicle in front stops.

You would think that would be an easy software update then, just needs willing on MGs part

I doubt they will do it, Phase 2 selling point.

Can you not stop that with the OBD11 thing you have?

 

[ukflyer]

Why would anyone care if it’s added if they’ve no intention of using it themselves..?

Really? They might decide to use it in the future, and even if they don’t, having the option makes the car potentially more desirable to a future buyer.

Having been their Guinea pigs and dealing with all of the early teething problems, there is a compelling argument to reward us, in some small way. Not only that, but providing better consistency can only increase the value and loyalty of owners.

I've put not, one of my perceived things is if you use one pedal driving all the time the brakes eventually cease up through lack of us, so if you use the brakes a little and often then this is then not an issue.

Del Boy. I talking about the option. You would not need to use it, unless you wanted to. You could keep it turned off. I’m only trying to get the functionality of it, on all cars, to give us all the choice, rather like adaptive cruise control.

Agreed, hence my thread and survey.

Good luck with that, have you ever had a reason to speak to MG UK customer service yet, useless and uninterested spring to mind

You just have to find the right person to email. The phones are handled by a sub contracted call centre that know precious little about the cars.

Hmmm, still taking time off work to get an update I’ve zero interest in myself.
The next owner can take off their work, I wouldn’t think it would be a ‘limited time’ update.

I forget what member it was but they emailed a director of some sorts still got punted to a certain person at MG customer service.
I was under the impression that MG customer service was in house, happy to be corrected

Bad enough trusting adaptive cruise, but I did and it was so good. Took me down to a dead stop at a junction and started off again. Doesn't accelerate with steering wheel turned though but you can use the the throttle pedal. If one pedal driving comes to fruition on the my22 cars, then the motor really has to lock up to brake, or, as the throttle is decreased, the brakes go on?

 

[siteguru]

It's the brakes which bring you to a complete stop (with ACC). That's why OPD is physically possible with MY22 cars, and introduction would merely be a software change.

 

[Nobbyplopps]

Does the OPD engage the auto brake, like on hills? Sorry if a silly question

 

[siteguru]

I know my MY22 SE SR doesn't engage auto-brake when ACC is in force, so on an uphill the car may try to roll back. (Depends on drive mode and steepness of the hill ... Sport mode tends to hold things better). I have no experience of OPD (in any vehicle, nevermind the MG4) so I can't answer your question, sorry.

ACC alone or TJA?

 

[siteguru]

ACC alone. TJA does the same but also adds steering control.

 

[Jeanneau]

Yes, I would like this feature on my 2022 Trophy LR if possible. Malcolm Perrins

That might be true but if you don't pester...
