My initial response was the Porsche-esque front however I need to see it in the metal before finalising judgement. New car tax disappeared about 30 years ago…..

Agree, simply don’t get what the issue is here. Do you sit in your car all the time while being charged? Where in the T’s & C’s does it require you to do so? However just goes to show how unfit for purpose EV charging infrastructure is. Ridiculously crude.

Is that supposed to be clever? More like downright rude and insulting. Perhaps you should be smart enough to show a bit more respect.

The Pimlico blue is allegedly being replaced for 2022MY. Rumour has it so is the red too. If the HS had worked for us we wanted white with red.

Yes, read same in a few places. My guess is it will be reduced now EV sales are gathering momentum.

What a load of rollocks. It is absolutely nothing to do with Brexit, China the enemy, what utter cr8p. If that were the case SAIC/MG wouldn’t sell anything in the UK. The decision with the Marvel is technical - I haven’t found any reference to the car being engineered for RHD markets. If you are...

There are lots of discussion and arguments about the various merits of budget priced MG EV’s and the more expensive offerings from Tesla et al. Now I appreciate if your budget only stretches to a ZS or HS PHEV it is still a very good value buy. However does anyone ever ponder why there is such a...

With all the feedback on towing it looks like my reluctant second thoughts to drop the HS PHEV from my 3 car shortlist was the right decision for me. Maybe in 4 years time there will be an MG product more suited to our needs. Going for a Toyota with 4wd which although not a dealbreaker I was...

All car manufacturers are on long delivery dates, good job you dont want something like a Merc or Land Rover, looking at 2023 for some models. Can’t get a Ford Fiesta before March - not one unregistered Fiesta anywhere in Uk.

I wasn’t sure how well known the Roewe (Rover….) link was with modern MG owners. Having done a search there are various Roewe SUV’s which superficially differ but probably share platforms and under the skin structures with the ZS and HS.

Personally I think the facelift is more effective than the ZS. However there is a lack of brand design consistency across the range and I assume the MG5 is a Roewe simply rebadged MG for some markets. Don’t understand why MG do not use the ZR/ZS/ZT naming to keep it simple, logical and some...

Nothing but nothing happens with any Chinese business the CCCP doesn’t support. That is not necessarily a bad or good thing - simply the way it is. Cannot see the Marvel R being engineered for RHD.

I am not that stupid, I do know what the Marvel R is!

Facelift MG5 should be here in a couple of months. However it doesn’t look as though the HS is getting any changes anytime soon which is intriguing given some markets do get an MG that is in effect an HS with frontal treatment in the style of the ZS facelift.

The recent TCOYT award in What Car wasn’t impressed with ICE HS, basically thought it underpowered, small boot.
