We also have engine heaters here in Finland, but they don’t help, because the real issue is that the MG Hybrid needs the petrol engine to produce cabin heat. When the petrol engine is running, the hybrid battery charges at the same time. However, the car cannot drive on battery power alone at...

When it was minus 20 degrees Celsius, the hybrid system was completely confused. Even the car’s climate control was set to low ( 18 degrees), the car wouldn’t run on electric power at all, and the battery stayed at 100% the whole time. The car kept reporting that regenerative braking was...

Actually, this cold weather is pretty nice, because when it’s freezing the sky is usually clear and the sun even shows up. Although, let’s be honest that -20°C is getting a bit ridiculous!! 😅 -10°C is muuch better!! The real villain here is the darkness. In November sun shined total 50...

Today: -22,3 and I live southern Finland. Up north we got something like -38 celsius 🥶😂

I live in Finland, and we’ve had freezing temperatures for five weeks straight without any issues (Today morning minus 19 celcius). Sure, the front camera is occasionally frozen and fuel consumption is higher than summer, 'cause the heating doesn’t run on EV mode alone.

Why not? That engine breathes the same way and responds better to throttle at full gas. Fuel consumption has also dropped by 0.2 liters per 100 km. But now it’s hard to test any further because it’s slippery, cold, and snowy outside

https://aeromotors.fi/tuote/12054219/pp1924-pipercross *** This is not official MG3 Hybrid model. But its fit.

The sound might be slightly sharper during full acceleration at around 77 km/h, and again at about 110 km/h. The throttle response also feels a bit better overall, but there's no major difference.. maybe 0-100 km/h acceleration is slightly quicker. But it's hard to say because I have already...

Pipercross panel installed. Fits like a glove!

My mudflaps are factory installed. So 🤷‍♂️

To ensure everything goes smoothly, I’ll put the original air filter back in before the service. 😅

Hi, what do you think about K&N air filters or Pipercross foam filters? Would you consider trying one if you found a compatible option for the MG3 Hybrid? Because I might have found the right sized filter.

Hi, you should turn cabin heater colder. If your heater temperature is 24°C, car will stay in HEV mode, because the electric motor can't generate enough heat and the gasoline engine stays on continuously, which increases fuel consumption. Try cabin temperature 20°C and I guess your car will...

How cold is outside and how warm is your cabin heater? Because the electric motor can't generate enough heat, the gasoline engine stays on continuously, which increases fuel consumption.

I noticed that when I lower the car's cabin temperature from 24°C to 20°C in cold weather, fuel consumption drops by 1.5 liters per 100 kilometers: 6,3 litres -> 4,8 litres. Because the electric motor (ev) can't generate enough heat, the gasoline engine (hev) stays on continuously, which...
