To get the info into the more appropriate (2025 HS PHEV forum), I've started a new thread: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/2025-mg-hs-trophy-phev-v-2020-skoda-superb-iv-sportline-phev.21662/ Hope that helps!

Just a few thoughts to compare my current 8000 mile old '2025' MG HS Trophy PHEV against my previous car, a 2020 Skoda Superb iV Sportline PHEV. I don't have any experience of the new Superb iV with the 70 ,mile range. Remember that driving a PHEV is different to a 'normal' single fuel car, be...

I had a prompt response this morning from my query to PCT Automotive: 'Yes we are aware that the PHEV versions are closer to the bumper than would like, We have re designed the towbar to have 2 mounting positions, One for Petrol and one for PHEV. The towbar has passed test and is now into...

Many thanks, it's much appreciated!

Firstly, unless I was blind yesterday when I asked about having a 2025 HS sub-section - we now have one, so thank you. There is a thread still lurking as a 2024 HS PHEV towbar question but it might be handy to start a new one here. This was the previous one...

With all due respect to the above 'not so happy' poster above, the OP is considering purchasing a '2025' MG HS PHEV (ie Dual Motor Hybrid) - not a 2022 model. Therefore, whilst there might be some merit in having a list of things to check, there is zero merit in effectively dissing the 2025...

On the 2025 HS Trophy PHEV, the front sensors only activate when you engage reverse. A bit strange but you get used to it. Stop, snick it into reverse as you get close to something and they work. I can't recall if they activate if you switch on the 360° camera on the dash. I'll try it.

The 2025 HS PHEV is unlike most other PHEVs - it can operate as a series hybrid or parallel hybrid. Google the terms and you'll get a better understanding as to how the car works. Given ICE or EV ranges are guesstimates based on how the car was last driven - and it will update as you drive -...

I received a Type 2 > Type 2 lead. I had a wall charger at home from my previous car and when I had the initial charging issue, I bought a granny charger just to prove it wasn't a fault with my wall charger. The Type 2 > Type 2 lead was supplied a week after the car as apparently, (certainly...

For the avoidance of any doubt, the '2025' MG HS PHEV has a two speed gearbox - nothing else. It doesn't matter whether it's operating in series or parallel hybrid mode, it's two gears, that's it and it works brilliantly. From what I have found with mine, the ICE kicks in before the battery is...

Fortunately, I've not had any such issues with my '2025' MG HS Trophy PHEV - or read of others having such a problem. I've had three issues as reported on another thread: https://www.mgevs.com/threads/considering-a-new-hs-phev-trophy.21443/ I think MG have been pretty fair to you offering a...

From my experience (6 months and 7000 miles) with my '2025' MG HS Trophy PHEV, yes I've had a couple of issues but I have no complaints about the car overall, the build quality, finish, performance, handling or ride. Generally, people shout about faults and problems but rarely do they just post...

I remain somewhat surprised that MG (UK) haven't pushed the tech side of the 2025 HS PHEV. The latest Chinese offerings are now far advanced from European etc PHEV from my studies. When I was researching it before placing an order, I searched for the Roewe D5X DMH as it is essentially the same...

Some answers based on what I know from researching the 2025 HS PHEV - Google the Roewe D5X - the sister car to the MG. 1. The 2025 MG HS PHEV is both a parallel hybrid and a series hybrid in operation. The ICE will charge the battery as well as having the option to charge from the mains (ie...

Brilliant, thanks, for posting the info and photo, best I get booking a towbar through the company you used!
