Just purchased an MG4 EV, waiting for delivery. The salesman talked up the lower maintenance / servicing cost of an EV but actually the service plan quote he gave me is the most I’ve ever paid for a similar plan in other cars by a long shot.

There appears to be no saving over PAYG for servicing with the plan - did you go for a plan or do you just pay when your services come up?

Thanks!

So just got an MG4 Trophy and it’s great! Noticed a few quirks on day one though! Are these all software issues that can be fixed with an update? The infotainment is currently on: SWI68-29958-1300R46

Quirks:

Outside temperature is wrong, ranges from 0 to -40 (in the uk during summer)

Greeting plays even though I turned it off in settings.

Cant change one of the wheel favourites, it changes back by itself.

CarPlay goes black sometimes.

Car has full MG history but it’s over 3 years old now, how can I get the software updates? Would I have to pay?

Thanks

Hi folks,

I'm having a recurring issue with the electric boot on my new MG S6:

The tailgate lowers, but the soft-close mechanism won't pull it fully shut or lock, leaving an "open" warning on the dash.

On the next opening cycle, it only opens to ~80% height.

I have to manually push the boot right at the bottom of its travel to get it to lock. I’ve tried resetting the top height limit and clearing the latch area, but no luck.

Has anyone had their dealer fix this? Is it a quick software update for the tailgate module, or a physical latch alignment?

Thanks for any replies.

I've had my MG Urban for two weeks. So far, I've only used the air conditioning. Since it's colder in the mornings now, I wanted to turn on the heater. However, yesterday at first only cold air came out of the vents, then warm air came out of one vent while the others stayed off. This morning, only cold air was coming out of the vents, even though I set it to 27 degrees. Has anyone else had a similar problem and found a solution?

I'm really close to buying the MG4 Urban (Premium trim), but after test-driving it, I found the seatbelt connector quite uncomfortable. The buckle couldn't be moved and was just poking out from the seat, and the latch was an unusually big lump of plastic. The combination was just really unpleasant for me.

The seller said they would contact MG to see if they could install the same seatbelt type used in other MG models, but seemed hesitant that it would lead to anything.

Does anyone else recognize this issue with the MG4 Urban, and any suggestions or workarounds?

Feels weird to say no to this otherwise great car, but it hurts to drive...

Hi, I'm planning to a second hand 122,000 km driven mg. Battery warranty is upto 200,000 km. Can anyone please give opinion on how long these cars normally drive before battery dies ? Will it be able to sustain upto 400,000 km before battery dies ? SOH is 86%.

Looking at an MG4 Urban or MGS5 through salary sacrifice. Does the Urban really have more boot space than the S5? Not sure if it's a difference in measuring technique between the 2.

Hi,

Due to take delivery of a MGS5 Trophy LR in a couple of weeks and wanting to know any tips and hints of how to manage the car etc?

Any help would be greatly appreciated in terms of the quirks of the software.

Thanks.

Hey, right now the MG4U 2026 has a LFP battery, but i have heard it will get that semi solid one at some point. Is is public whe nthat will happen and how would that affect the price? It aurely would get more expensive right?

Hi everyone! 👋
Does anyone know if it’s possible to disable the rear wiper from automatically activating when shifting into reverse (R)?
I find it a bit annoying, especially when the rear window is dry/dirty and the wiper starts automatically.
Is there perhaps a setting somewhere in the car to disable this? Alternatively, does anyone know which fuse controls the rear wiper, so that I could remove it without affecting anything else?
Any advice or experience would be greatly appreciated! 😊
Thanks!

Bonjour, impossible d'utiliser Android auto avec un smartphone Moto edge 50 fusion sur ma MG3 hybride+. J'ai tout essayé mais rien ne se passe sur le téléphone même après avoir vidé le cache de Service Google Play, réinstallé Android auto, vérifié les paramètres USB par défaut même en mode développeur. Si vous avez des astuces, je suis preneur. Merci
