    Prospective buyer worried about mpg

    I took my ZS Hybrid + alone the M42, A42 to East Midlands Airport in July and I managed to do 55 mpg. The engine ticked over at 2700 rpm at 70mph, when the electric kicked in the revs dropped to 1700 rpm. The car was fully loaded with 4 people and 4 large cases in the boot.

    Me and my wife (she has a ZS Hybrid + has well) have found this out has well. My wife found out if you are in the reverse gear put the car into neutral first before applying the park button.

    What do you think is a long journey?

    We are scheduled to stop over at Carlisle before and after going to Scotland plus stops in between. I am quite happy how the car goes on the motorway, 2 months ago travelling to East Midlands airport my ZS had 4 people and 4 cases I still managed to do 55 mpg whilst doing 65-70 mph

    Does anyone’s rear lights flash like a disco?

    I’ve got a ZS Hybrid + and sometimes I’ve noticed when I’m stationary at traffic lights I can see in the reflection of the paint work of the car in front of me my hazard lights flash very quickly. I have since found out that it’s a feature from MG that it’s warning a car behind me is approaching...

    CarPlay dongle and wireless charger

    I’m happy with the wireless charger, I’ve got an iPhone 14 and I’ve positioned it so the phone camera lens over hangs the charger and the top of the phone is up against the side so the phone doesn’t move about too much, the charger is only 8mm thick. On Tuesday I drove for an hour along the M42...

I’ve gone up inclines and the car has gone up 3/4 and the engine kicks in and the next day the same incline but the car goes up on the battery only. Also I don’t excellerate when going up an incline I keep my...

    Over reving on hills.

    The number 2 in the box isn’t the what gear your car is in but the regenerative number . When you take you foot off the accelerator pedal your car puts electrical charge back into the battery and the number on the dash is the rating of regen 1 less 2 normal and 3 high. Hope that helps
