- Great video, the MG IM 6 looks really good and the features are really cool, as a dealer would like to see another video of what the actual range results you get with the weather slightly dipping maybe after a few days of driving it around, and would you show a few of the features such as crab and the reversing? Also can you command it to pull out of a very tight parking bay to get in because someone has parked to close to you? Thank you 🙏- No mention of Dog or pet mode. Does the IM6 have such a mode and if so does it display anything on any of the screens, like the Tesla/Polestar 4 systems?
- Hi, bought a new MG HS (GCC) but facing issue with i-smart app, most of the time it will not connect to the Car.. already tried all the options like - unbind & bind again.. Uninstall & install again etc... can you please help ?
- Everything I can tolerate now but not that odd shaped screens.. I prefer something like Tesla model y, vinfast vf 7, 8 etc. I don't like frameless doors. There are people who like that but not me prefer framed doors.....
