    Thinking of buying HS PHEV but need owner advice

    The mirror thing I noticed immediately on my test drive, and it drove me mad. Since then I think I've seen that the mirror pivots in two spots, at the mirror itself and where it connects to the screen, so the whole thing should be able to be pivoted higher to be a bit less obtrusive, can you...

    Heating in EV Mode

    Hi Zman, I have an Outlander too and thinking of the HS PHEV....how many Km were you getting from the Outlander out of interest ? Lucky to get 30ks out of mine. How's the HS vs Outlander, are you happy with it...decent range etc?

    What's your fuel economy

    Even though I am now getting atrocious range from my Outlander PHEV in EV mode it still is far cheaper to run vs the Subaru Outback I had before it. When I was getting decent range from the Outlander my fuel costs were about one tenth of the Subaru. My typical daily driving needs varies from...

    Urban Hybrid Management

    Hi Mick and Jem, Sounds good, thanks for the info, I guess no car is perfect and we get used to comparing the car we have vs the one we'd like. I'd be using a car like this as much as possible in EV as that makes the most sense (in fact I can't see why anyone would buy a PHEV if they didn't plug...

    Thought the same thing too, for a 16.5 kwh battery, its as they are software limiting/controlling the range depending on location ???

    Yes that would be interesting to see what you get. It seems the PHEV version might display different ranges in different parts of the world, the Thai version shows 67Km, and seems like they actually get that range.

    Constant charge to 100%

    Just interested in peoples thoughts on charging...currently have an Outlander PHEV which I charge every night. I have an off grid power system with approx. 25kWh of battery storage. If I had a ZS EV and drive the car to low state of charge I wont be able to charge the car overnight without...

    goodbye and all the best

    Hi Pete, I am too interested in the Tang, and am currently in the market for a replacement for my Outlander PHEV, will wait till July and see what transposes, I just hope its not all rumour, if in fact they do sell for 50kish...they won't be on the shelves for long !!!

    Start/load navigation on ignition. Possible?

    Yes, It'd be lovely to have an option in the settings for that to happen on startup...maybe if there are enough requests for this to happen...MG could make it so ?

    Hi Mick, Am contemplating buying this car as well (I'm in FNQ) does your GOM say 52Km full charge ? I see MG adjusted the website to say 63Km WLTP, so was wondering your approx. range in full EV mode, I currently have an Outlander PHEV and getting around 35Km per charge now, so was hoping the MG...

    do we need battery balancing?

    Same thing, test drove the PHEV (Australian version) the other day, full charge showing 52km, interestingly the Thai version shows 67km on the GOM, same vehicle (probably more electrical load due to more features) so can't understand why so low...the MG website has been updated to show 63Km...
