Hi there, Interestingly (or rather, alarmingly), I had the exact same experience in Austria. Steep uphill road, battery drained quickly, and the car suddenly struggled massively, barely managing to crawl uphill at around 25–30 km/h with the gas pedal floored. It felt extremely unsafe, and like...

I couldn't really believe it until I noticed it today after we went to Austria. You have no power in one fell swoop and can drive a maximum of 40-50 km/h (uphill). The combustion engine then goes into generator mode and is at 4300 rpm so that the electric motor can deliver 35kW max power. Really...

I’m experiencing the same issue—when the engine is cold, the car stays at over 4,000 RPM at 100 km/h and refuses to shift up, no matter what I do. It only shifts once the engine warms up a bit, which is incredibly annoying. Every time I drive home from work, I have to listen to these ridiculous...

Well, at least I’m glad that it seems to be normal and I’m not the only one with this issue. But it really can’t be that hard to fix this via software so that it syncs with the external indicators. It’s a bit embarrassing, regardless of the manufacturer or model, this just shouldn’t happen.

Ah, yes i got it, but that doesn’t work together with ACC. The LIM setting is simply a speed limiter. So, the car doesn’t have the function to automatically adjust the speed in ACC according to traffic signs, even though all the prerequisites are there... What a shame.

Hi everyone, I noticed something odd with the indicators on my MG3 Luxury. The sound of the indicator click is never in sync with the flashing of the lights on the outside. On top of that, the indicator sound sometimes disappears entirely, especially if another warning sound (like the speed...

The option doesn't exist, does anyone see the option on their MG3?

Might be true, but how often does that really happen? As I said, I used the feature on every drive, and it worked well. It just needs to be implemented properly. If you look at something as simple as the language translation into German in the infotainment system, there's clearly no proper...

Then it's just not well implemented. The ID.3 knew that a 30 km/h sign was coming up at X meters and already slowed down slightly beforehand, so that the car would be driving exactly 30 km/h when reaching the sign.

In my previus VW ID.3, the combination of ACC and Traffic Sign Recognition worked really well. It consistently adjusted the speed based on detected road signs, and I ended up using ACC for about 80% of my driving.

Hi everyone, I've read that the MG3 Hybrid+ comes with both ACC and Traffic Sign Recognition, but I'm not sure if these systems work together to automatically adjust the speed. It would be really convenient if the car could automatically slow down or speed up based on the road signs it detects...

Too bad, it would have been nice if they had used the existing air conditioning to warm the interior, then the engine wouldn't have to run so often in winter.

Hi everyone, I'm from Germany and recently got an MG3 Hybrid. I’ve been wondering if preheating the car using the internal combustion engine (which the MG3 Hybrid uses for this purpose) is actually allowed here. Germany has pretty strict environmental laws, and I know that idling a combustion...

Currently driving a VW ID.3, but it's saying its goodbyes this month. The MG3 Luxury is already on order, and I’ll be picking it up on the 20th, exciting times! The ID.3 tops out at 160 km/h, drives smoothly and quietly, which is great for my almost daily Autobahn adventures. That said, I’m...
