- Thanks for watching my first video! I will be uploading more videos about my car, because I think there are many important things you have to know before buying it. They won't show it in short reviews, where they drove this car for 1 day haha
This was an interesting video, thank you. The first thing I did to extend range was to switch off the intelligent battery heating. I agree, it’s a great car to drive. Really fun!
Unfortunately here, in Thailand, you can't drive without AC. Which takes about 65km from the max range... But even 360km is pretty good as well
@@lifeinthailandwithhuksfa-jg4ieYeah, I can imagine. Must be hot and humid in Thailand. Here in Scotland, we don’t have to worry about high temperatures, just low. 😂 From November to at least March we have to use the heater which also reduces range.
Great review of your driving experience Khrub. I also bought a MG4 iconX & chose it over the Atto 3 as I didn’t like the front wheel drive scrabbling for traction in the wet the MG4 rear wheel drive is much more settled & predictable the MG felt quicker too! I’ve had no problems with my car & remain very happy with it:
Thank you.
Very interesting review.
I have ordered mine, also the long range Trophy (that is what it is called in the uk).
Also relevant because we also drive on the left side of the road.
Probably better to mount your camera on the dash or windscreen or if you are really brave then outside somewhere.
I would say your video clip are good ideas for considering how to drive and how to set up options before driving experience... Thanks 😊😊
Would be better if the car remembered your set up.
I can understand about the plastic water containers. My relatives all have at metal water containers or when (roughing it) 1liter bottles. (they drink alot and 1 liter is smallest size)
Looking forward to the AWD coming.
thx for the video :)
only on KERS 3 when you lift foot out of the acc paddle the rear break light will illuminate and when slower than 35 km/hr the light will be off
Thanks for the info
I like this car but the it feels tricky living in Pattaya. A round-trip to Bangkok possibly needs some charging in between. I'll wait a bit more for longer ranges. Thanks for your video.
BKK-Bangsaen is still OK, if you drive 100-110 the battery won't be drained quickly
Great video. In most MG forums, owners say the brake light comes on when the driver depresses the accelerator, just like most EVs, so I think you should be safe with drivers behind you.
Wow, I didn't know about it. Have to check it somehow! Thanks
I didn't notice it when I drove behind the BYD for example. The car was stopping but without the lights
Great video. collect my new MG4 Trophy this week.
Thanks for watching! And congratulations :)
My MG4 TROPHY should have been here 4 weeks ago, but SE short range sent.
@@johnbryant6935 Phone other dealers and find the model you want, I got pissed about with one dealer so cancelled and found one within 24hrs, and got the car 4 days later thanks to Stoke
@paul murphy I was told by salesman it will defo be here by next Friday. I have a £10 bet with him that it will NOT be the TROPHY.....
@@johnbryant6935 lol I was told next week, when it came round the car was sold next one still on the boat...
Great car great drive. Need to get used to the auto driving. People complain about it probably didn't drove another cars with such features before. All auto driving functions are abit iffy for all cars if you don't know what it can or cannot do. Tesla is slightly better but unless u wanna pay more than double for it. Lfp batteries kick ass. Lastly the drive and connection to the road is unlike any other ev near this price.
Great vid.
How's the insurance compared to petrol cars?
Not sure what you mean. The same 1st class insurance, the same price and terms as any other cars. The warranty for the battery is 6 years, and for the car 8 years, or maybe opposite :D Don't remember now. But so far no problems, didn't claim anything yet
The lane assist feature is dangerous. It should just warn the driver and not take over the control. Human drivers MUST have full control of their vehicles, not the other way around. MG should fix this.
You can actually change it in the settings. But the issue is... You have to change it every time you start the car
How does the navigation compare to Google or Apple nav ? How much head room do you have? Is it easy to change between English and Thai ?
I like car's map more than google, it has some really good features which google doesn't. I'm 180cm. very comfortable. I think still enough space even for 190
Yeah, changing the language is easy. But if you bought it in Thailand, you won't be able to change the language for the voice assistant...
@@lifeinthailandwithhuksfa-jg4ie would be in thailand. So then the assistant is thai only?
@@darwinjinayou can use Siri or google assistant if using CarPlay or android auto anyway
Not happy with spare wheel in a can. Can you get a space saver wheel .
Am the same and yes you can get a space saver wheel.
Removed silly wheel covers and had centre hub caps made on 3D printer looks better.
Show me!
Hi. I just took delivery of mg4 imported from Thailand. I'm trying to connect to ismart app but unable. I'm using uk and localized Indonesian app. I was wondering if u are able to connect to ismart?
Yes, I often use it. Sorry for veeeery delayed reply
hows the charging infrastructure in Thailand?🙂
omg.. 5 month... I didn't see any comments, sorry!
Well.. 5 months from your question the charging stations start to pop out everywhere. Very convenient even for long trips
hi do you have any regret after purchasing the MG4, any defects ?
Very happy with the car so far! It's been 8 month since the purchase, definitely worth it :)
Check the last video, driving experience after 8 month. There are some errors in the system, but so far all good
How much did u pay for this car in Thailand?
About 29k usd
Wondering about the long term reliability of these kind of EV's. Big question mark.
That's also my question :D The warranty time is promising, but let's see..
As the warranty covers most of the important parts for 7 years and I’m on a 4 year PCP, I’m not worried.
@@CastleKnight7 Had my Trophy a week now and thinking of drilling holes in the bottom of the doors for drainage, save them rotting.
Tesla & Nissan Leaf are on the road 10yrs later in winter conditions with more than 500,000 miles, 800000 km. They will go forever in Thailand
i test drove one but everything inside while looks ok at a distance just looks and feels so cheap and nasty
The price played a huge role in my choice :D The battery technology is top in this price range
KONFTBLE
😅 , mg , dr , emc - all of you , very lucky guys 😅 ! Go and pay 25.000 euro forva car that won't last 5 years 😅
Interior of mg5 looks much better,this one looks cheap with this phone size tablet behind steering wheel
no worse than BMW i3
@@SNORKYMEDIA yes,both are bad
MG5 is way longer, and I think it's not comfortable in daily use here
@@lifeinthailandwithhuksfa-jg4ie its not so longer
Is it hybrid?
Fully electric
