Did it restart twice in one go?

I did have the same issue, and id come across a solution in a German MG forum. Long press the home button (the physical key) for 30 seconds constantly, it did restart the system twice, once standard and shortly after with a slightly longer boot up process. after that, the system worked...

Unless Siri is connected (through Car Play), no. Only the HS has an own voice recognition system.

Unfortunately, a warranty is always provided by the importer, and technically the importer sets the service requirements for that; In Austria, the intervals are 24.000km or once a year, and no additional required, and actually isn't even required to be done by an official MG dealership as long...

I would assume that for legal reasons it is baked so deep in the car's basic firmware, that disabling it is basically impossible for anyone but MG themselves. I guess otherwise there would be companies offering that (legality has never stopped offering certain stuff on cars), as I can imagine...

AS far as I know, the ZS will not receive much update for a 2026 model; New cars have naturally the added length adjustment for the steering wheel that earlier ones missed, and SW should come with latest version (so no more power loss, and the initially forgotten equalizer in the stereo), but...

Personally I have not yet driven the HS (only the previous gen. with a 1.5T and a DSG); It does feel way better built and spacious inside though than the ZS, although the boot seems a bit less spacious (official measurements say otherwise, but the more square ZS makes for a more useful shape...

A friend was recently shopping for a mid sized Cross over for his family, and wanted a Hybrid, with the VAG PHEVs being astronomically priced his favourite would have been the Peugeot 5008 with the new (mild) Hybrid (indeed a weird setup, as 48V system seems underpowered for a 20kw - or is it hp...

MG definitely knows about the issue - in Austria, there is a service bulletin for the ZS (same rear axle) where they replace the rods inside the bushing and grease them. However that is only doen on request (IMO this is the minimum that should be done, but tbh. PD052 should have ben an...

No Software will fix the hardware limitations (3 gears, with the first being relatively long thus more like a 2nd or even short 3rd gear in a conventional 6-8 speed autobox, as the electric motor is to do the whole driving at lower speeds, as btw. quite a few hybrids do); That said, the fine...
