    Deal Agreed MG4 Trophy in Volcanic Orange (SOLD)

    I think it does make sense. If you have an order in for another brand of EV or are about to put an order in and Tesla says Hey guys you can have any Model 3 or Y at a new significantly lower price and get on in 2 to 3 weeks they are going to pick up just so many more sales and take them from the...

    Wanted WANTED MG ZS EV Spare wheel kit

    There used to be on ebay an MG dealer in Norfolk I believe who sold both ZS ICE and ZS EV space-savers at a very reasonable price complete with a car jack and polystyrene incert for the jack. About £125 I believe from memory Here is one I just found for MG ZS EV 2017 to present day with jack...

    Wanted WANTED MG ZS EV Spare wheel kit

    Don't get hung up on looking for 18" rim that's not the most important you're looking for if you're searching for a space saver (which I presume you are) spare wheel. Since space savers are as the name implies thinner the tyres are a different profile and designed to run at higher inflation...

    For Sale MG5 Brand New wheels never been on the road

    Weren't there 2 wheel options with the MG5? The ZS only had one stock "Windmill" design 17" wheel option although it is often recommended if fitting Winter tyres on the ZS to use 16" VW Group rims and fitting them with 215/60 higher-profile tyres for the almost identical diameter as stock...

    For Sale MG5 Brand New wheels never been on the road

    There are a few very good comparison tools on the "Interweb" that if you pump in the wheel and tyre sizes will should how close they compare and what difference it makes to the Speedo reading. For example, if I compare my 215/50R17 on the Gen 1 ZS EV with the 205/60R60 on your MG5 the difference...

    For Sale Selling my 2020 ZS EV Exclusive

    I will do. I'm probably going to wait for the MG5 Facelift around October which I think has similar treatment to the interior of Facelift ZS or perhaps the MG4 we've been tested with 😎

    For Sale Selling my 2020 ZS EV Exclusive

    About six months on the New model is on sale and deliveries are beginning. I've put another 3,000 miles on the clock and it has had its 2nd-year MG dealer annual service, but the Carzoo offer has dropped £6000. so looks like I'll be holding on to it now as the economics have dropped from the...

    Deal Agreed Facelift MG ZS EV Long Range - Exclusive Forum Offer!

    @MilesperkWh With today's news what will your new prices be? My local dealer suggested to me that MG may make some compensatory price adjustments - that's going to be a tricky one to keep the SE, Trophy and Trophy Connect differentials sensible. What's your take?

    Deal Agreed Facelift MG ZS EV Long Range - Exclusive Forum Offer!

    Hopefully, the next time around (rather than this mid-cycle refresh) the ZS will be EV only and on a new skateboard platform and will have a significantly improved packaging AKA as Hyundai have with IONIQ 6 without having to design for an ICE or Hybrid variant.

    Yes, I know but he used his height to emphasise it as an inadequacy of the car which could leave people to believe it would be too cramped without giving it a try.

    Thanks for the link Alan. I've downloaded the Handbook/Manual and its interesting that the illustrations used in a couple of places don't match the new car ie page 115 the middle rear headrest isn't included and on page 253 the front drawing is of the original ZS while the rear drawing is of...

    Deal Agreed Facelift MG ZS EV Long Range - Exclusive Forum Offer!

    Thanks, @r45kal for that and an interesting take on the New ZS from Jack who is super tall and not representative of your average car buyer I'd hazard to guess. I think Jacks comments on space are about as representative of reality as Robert Llewelyn's disgraceful demonstration of plugging in a...

    Deal Agreed Facelift MG ZS EV Long Range - Exclusive Forum Offer!

    I guess technically it does since an AC is a Heat Pump but not in the sense that you were asking about ie to "Heat" the Car rather than to "Cool" the car. Suggest your dealer goes back to product training or at least rereads his own sales literature as I can assure you if it did have a Heat Pump...

    Heat pumps aren't a free ride. Heatpumps are heavier than resistive heaters and in very cold conditions become less effective and less efficient in any case. Heavier cars need to be driven around 365 days a year winter and summer and therefore need more energy to carry them around all the time...

    Total Cost of Ownership is what counts if you think of your car as a utility. After that pay whatever premium for the privilege of choice. Choice for the driving experience, choice for the environment of the cabin you sit in, choice over the convenience of the range you have. If those voices...

    Deal Agreed Winter wheels for MG ZS EV

    Hi Mike, regarding the wheel and tyre sizes you used successfully for your winter tyres on the ZS. Could you remind me what sizes I should looking for as I seem to have mislaid my notes from when it was the hot topic of conversation last winter. Barry
