• Tap Settings → System → About Vehicle.
• Look for "Software Version: RXX". If it shows R24, you’re current.

What Is the MG Marvel R R24 Update?

The R24 update is a major firmware revision for the MG Marvel R, targeting three core vehicle domains:

1. Infotainment & HMI (Human-Machine Interface)
2. VCU (Vehicle Control Unit – affecting driving dynamics and battery regeneration)
3. ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems)

Unlike smaller bug-fix patches (e.g., R22 or R23), R24 is classified as a feature release. Early adopters in Europe (the Marvel R’s primary market outside China) report that the update package size exceeds 3GB when delivered via USB at a dealership, though the OTA version is streamed incrementally.

Method B – USB Update (Dealer or Advanced Users)

If OTA fails or isn’t offered:

1. Request the R24 update file from an MG dealer (file size ~2–5 GB).
2. Format a USB drive (FAT32, 16–32 GB).
3. Copy update files to root directory (do not rename folders).
4. Insert USB into the vehicle’s data USB port (usually the one with a computer icon).
5. Go to Settings → System → System Update → Update via USB.
6. Follow on-screen instructions. Do not remove USB until finished.

🔧 Dealer method is safest – they can also update TCU, BMS, and ADAS modules together.
