    Poor cross wind performance

    Is there lateral movement/steering tug against road surface? Or is it body sway? Could be the suspension setup. Aerodynamics would have more play against headwinds.

    MG Return to Longbridge?

    If I am not mistaken Chinese firms enjoy tax breaks when building cars in home country which is one of the reasons they can build cars at the prices we have come to expect of them. It would take more than the MG brand legacy to persuade SAIC to build cars on this site. The sale figures in UK...

    Need help with my new mg4 ev

    @Zeekay For future reference, I bought my car from Cambridge Electric Vehicles | Wide Range of EV's in Stock in Cambridge when they were an MG dealer. AFAIK they are still MG authorised service centre and have always provided a courtesy car during my warranty repairs (one of them lasted more...

    MGZSEV Reduction Gearbox Oil Mist

    Ok, I did not follow up on my case since it was confirmed to be a mist and is expected. Gearbox leak on ZS EV is not commonly reported issue, I would advise you to ring the dealer with photographic evidence.

    Volvo EX30 launched

    First set of MG cars targeted value segment especially people who want more for less. Of course it means they have to use not the most advanced tech in all areas. While they have good drive train, battery and rapid charging the cost savings is evident in LKA, reverse camera, steering rack, ABS...

    Stunned !

    Expensive finance and ample supply of preloved MGs(EVs in general) are to blame. You can expect the prices to stabilise once financing a car becomes cheaper

    Scraping Noise When Using ACC/Traffic Jam Assist

    Like @Tim Green said, Gen1 had a sound all the time when using MG Pilot and used to happen only when car is coming to complete standstill. In one of the podcasts it was discussed as normal and ABS related. @IanSS , can you attach sound recording?

    MG4 Reduction Gearbox Oil Leak

    I second that. I read elsewhere that MG in India is marketing itself as a premium brand and are known for there great pre, post sales experience. (I should add for completeness sake the fact that all MG cars sold in India are built locally.) That said, you would expect a value for money brand...

    MG ZS EV Windscreen Wipers

    Received a pair last month after waiting for a couple of months and happy with the quality. I see they are out of stock now but should be back in stock in sometime if you are happy to wait. Check out 2x Wiper Blades (Pair) Flat / Aero type 3397014745 Bosch Set Windscreen A745S on eBay...

    KWH delivered vs battery percent expected

    The energy input by charger is always more than the energy stored by the battery. There are some losses when charging.

    Battery capacity and poor range

    Hello @andymgzs Please, what is the voltage shown in the trip meter screen at full charge? What is the range reported by the car at full charge after trip meter A and B are reset? How did you read 0% charge when you started measurement at home? Please, have you tried charging at a rapid...

    Reduced in kMs

    Yes, battery degradation is expected in the first couple of years. I do not think you can claim it under warranty . You should ask your dealership to provide you battery state of health report with every service just to keep an eye on degradation.

    Zs falling apart

    If it is of any consolation, there are a number of threads on steering issues with ZS. A number of them had them replaced under warranty. I hope you do not run into any more problems with your car.

    Reversing camera - where is it??

    Will advise you to sprinkle water/hose pipe/pressure wash. The view will progressively deteriorate if you repeat cleaning with tissue. Don't ask how I know...

    MG4 Range

    Yes, GoM calculator in MG is rudimentary. At the start of day the GoM displays range based on Accumulated mpkwh, as you put in a few miles and current mpkwh is updated, the GoM will recalculate remaining miles based on the current figures. Now this is based on a MK1 ZS EV unless MG created a...

    Regen strength

    I believe no regen is more obvious after say 95%. I believe you can set the top limit for a charge in the infotainment which is recommended for better battery life. It serves two purposes if we are to set it to 95%, constant regen and battery lifetime.

    Battery heater option in settings

    All EV batteries should have automatic battery heating and cooling to keep battery within a temp range so that they can deliver enough current for optimal performance of drivetrain. DC charging is at higher current than what typically a drivetrain needs and may need warmer battery to achieve...

    MG5 Trophy Real World Consumption Thread
