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:
- Infotainment & HMI (Human-Machine Interface)
- VCU (Vehicle Control Unit – affecting driving dynamics and battery regeneration)
- 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:
- Request the R24 update file from an MG dealer (file size ~2–5 GB).
- Format a USB drive (FAT32, 16–32 GB).
- Copy update files to root directory (do not rename folders).
- Insert USB into the vehicle’s data USB port (usually the one with a computer icon).
- Go to Settings → System → System Update → Update via USB.
- Follow on-screen instructions. Do not remove USB until finished.
🔧 Dealer method is safest – they can also update TCU, BMS, and ADAS modules together.
