MG has investigated my vehicle and advised me in writing that the high engine revving I experience during hill climbs is considered normal operation. My concern is that I was not made aware of this characteristic before purchasing the car.”

Our MG4 Excite 51 EV has been excellent, sharp pricing (ours is on a novated lease), a fantastic drive, charging and range all as advertised, with… Read more

economical driving we are getting just under 400 km range from the 51 kWh batt; above the spec. Comfortable seats, ideal for city living, easy to park, software is good but has a few quirks (see reviews), has all the features we need. Now over 2 years old, took it for its first service ($240), no faults to report hasn’t missed a beat. No evidence of batt decline, and we live in high temp Darwin.

to 25 klm .... claims a miss match between the turbo and the gearbox...china new of this problem but did not fix because of the expense.... rear camera is not accurate when objects are closer than the camera shows....from park putting the car into gear sometimes it will not engage anything....have to turn the car off then try again....

no one should buy one of these...mg keep reducing the price to get rid of them....I have 10 years warranty but at my 10000 service they could not change my wiper blades.....waiting for parts ....

I bought this car without driving....stupid me....

This is a review at 5 months after purchase of a new vehicle (2025 build date) now I am more used to its peculiarities. The user manual is on a… Read more

phone app and is almost useless (charging instructions are ambiguous and ~300pages in!) but there are good 3rd party videos readily available online, and ChatGTP is a good resource. The build quality is good as is the ride, the road holding and the brakes, and the acceleration is very adequate. The worry-free range is ~350km from a full charge ( can probably go 400km), but I wouldn't plan a long trip with more than 250km between charging stations. The bad aspect is the user interface. The accelerator, brakes and steering are fine, but everything else seems like a first experiment in the use of computer control via momentary switches and touch screens. Most of the buttons and functions are not where a driver might expect, and their functions change depending on the previous state of the system. The only direct hazard is when parking: the Forward/Park/Reverse momentary switch often doesn't work first time: it's erratic, so you must check the visual indicator on the switch each time before applying accelerator.

There is no "power off" function that can be accessed from the driver's seat: sitting in the seat activates all systems. There is a "power off" touchscreen control a couple of menus in, but this only disconnects the main , high voltage battery, leaving all the lights and accessories to run down the 12v system battery. The only way to power off is to leave the vehicle and lock it. Failure to lock the car will mean the headlights will come on when it gets dark. There is often a cacophany of unnecessary a and prolonged alerts when driving, e.g. when entering real or imagined speed zones and many make little sense ("WARNING! READY MODE!" if door not properly closed) I could imagine this all working ok if there were a heads-up display and sensible messages, but it takes a while to get used to ignoring the distractions and keeping eyes on the road. Overall, this is a good vehicle and good value, but if you are new to EVs, you might need to spend rather more and get a more developed model like a Volvo, which is more intuitive.
