Uploaded 2 years ago by Bjørn Nyland

Video Summary

The key points and findings from the YouTube video review of the electric car:
- The reviewed MG5 is a facelifted model, not previously sold in Norway but available in the UK with a different grill; the facelift features a more elegant design and an improved interior.
- The car was charged to 100% before the range test, displaying a claimed range of 378 km.
- The car's dashboard display shows charging percentage, which is considered a plus.
- On a 230 km loop at 90 km/h, the car over-reported the distance slightly and exhibited a power consumption of 16.4 kWh/100km.
- The review measured 55.5 kWh as the battery usable energy.
- During the high-speed test at 120 km/h, the consumption rate was decent, considering the weather.
- A minor problem: the instrument cluster's brightness couldn't be adjusted low enough and was remedied with a sunshade.
- The MG Pilot's auto steer is good but tends to slow down during curves, with the car warning to hold the steering wheel.
- Noise levels during driving, even with winter tires, were higher compared to other models.
- The ride was slightly bouncy, and equipment wasn't considered the best.
