Hi Maliki. An excellent synopsis, which aligns with my overall experience. I suppose I expected the ZS hybrid+to provide much the same driving experience, as a non hybrid car. The reality is that a hybrid provides a very different experience, and this takes a bit of getting used to. However...

The reason I replied to you, was because you said, “ I don’t think the battery power is involved, just the petrol engine.” in your response. If you do some research, you will discover that the main source of energy, for acceleration and high speed e.g. 112 km/h (70mph) will be the battery. If...

Agreed, however I think software update PD052 was issued to overcome the “loss of power” problem, although I have never experienced it. PD052 changes the way the/my hybrid system works. If anything it revs more, but this is to ensure the battery capacity never drops below 30%, and therefore...

At the risk of repetition, hybrids provide excellent MPG, I’m getting 56mpg on normal driving. But they use a complex computer system to achieve this, and the outcome is a different driving experience, to other internal combustion cars. Following the release of software upgrade PD052, the...

Hi Dave. Regarding the section of the response you received, “please note this is the hybrid system working and generating power to the motor of the vehicle”. As this is ungrammatical, and makes no sense whatsoever ever, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that Craig doesn’t understand how the...

Or anything else?

Thanks for the heads up. Makes you wonder why MG includes a whole section relating to the navigation system in the MG3 manual, but doesn’t bother to include it in the ZS Hybrid manual. And although to they are well aware of this oversight, they have not made any attempt to correct it. The ZS...

If, as has been suggested there is a difference, in that the SE model has a different sound system, with a Graphic Equaliser, and the Trophy model doesn’t have one, then this could explain why none of us with the Trophy have a GE. I suspect that the video has “mixed” video, and this has caused...

Do you know if your car has had the PD052 upgrade? It’s not a panacea, but it does get rid of the up hill power loss problem. Takes a bit of getting used to, but once you have its a lot better drive.

Hi. I find it incredible that MG UK appear to be unable to grasp the dangerous situations, that you, and others are exposed to. Quite what they expect the AA et all to do beggars belief. There is no doubt the vehicle is drivable, however under certain circumstances it exposes the occupants to...

Hi mcishere. I assume you’ve already discussed this with your dealership, if so did they say they have knowledge of the software update PD052, and if they did whether it had been installed, it is supposed to be installed prior to delivery. MG and the Dealerships appear to have a problem...

Hi Busman, whilst I think we agree on most matters, I don’t think it’s fair to ask if ‘mcishere’ had looked on this forum to discover, if this problem existed, or had been observed, and commented on by members. I must admit that I didn’t look myself, prior to purchase, and I anticipate that most...

Hi Ann. Much the same as mine, but as there are no long hills in the part of Sussex I live in, I never experienced the problems that have affected others. When mine went in to have the N/S door mirror light strip replaced, which didn’t happen due to `MG sending the wrong part, they did the...

As I’ve reported in another thread. In January I reported that there was a lot of condensation in the N/S mirror light strip. On the 3rd of February I took the car into the dealership to have it replaced. They discovered that the wrong part had been suppled, and order the correct part. Car...
