I am based in Thailand and it is hot here
The first thing I did when I purchase the car is have some window film fitted. Most people are happy to have the dealer fit some privacy film, because it usually free, but I wanted a heat reflecting film, especially because of the large sunroof. I paid...
It's in Thai. Actually not a bad video to demonstrate the differences between the Thai HS PHEV and other markets such as the super sports button, Paddle shifters for regen
Can't comment on servicing in the UK, but I am very happy with my car after 8 months.
My only problem will be when I replace it with a full EV I will have to pay quite a bit more for the same level luxury.... BMW iX3?
Here in Thailand the service interval is six months - I assume due to the petrol engine. The deal I got was completely free servicing for 5 years. I have had one service so far and it cost nothing - they washed the car inside and out and left the car on a charger. I was able to monitor the...
I dread going to a petrol station - luckily I only have to visit every couple of months. The petrol filler flap is a real pain going through various versions of the release ritual.
Ordered my RHD Scarlet Red HS PHEV (similar to Exclusive spec) in June 2021 here in Thailand, received it within a week. Dealer had a Black Knight I could have had the next day.
The delivery difference seems strange as they are basically the same car.
One feature of the Music system of cars sold in Thailand is integration with the online music service that is included with the car (True Music here in Thailand and I believe it will be Amazon in the UK)
Cars in Thailand come with a data sim embedded in the car, the subscription for which is...
All good points. It was just a quick calculation on my part.
I drive my PHEV 95% of the time on EV mode charged from my solar, so I am looking for more battery capacity and faster on-board charger in my next car.
When I saw this I did a quick calculation in Thai Baht - I am not going to convert everything to British pounds - easier to say that the MG HS X and MG HS PHEV are about the same price as in the UK
H 6 HEV ultra price ฿1.249 million
H 6 PHEV ultra price is unknown
MG HS X ice price ฿1.119...
Many have had this problem there is already a discussion on it. Mine improved markedly after a firmware update done at my dealer this week.
Gear shifting in EV mode, Warning
@LarsJensen
Not sure gearboxes ever get cold in Thailand, but if you mean when you first start the car, previously I did not notice any difference between just started or been driving a while.
@EVGeezer
Over the last couple of days my experience has been the same: slight hesitancy at around...
Hi @EVGeezer I took my MG HS PHEV to MG Surin (Thailand) to fix the "off-roading" problem yesterday, not only did they fix that problem for free but washed the car inside and out and did an update. I was keen to see if the update fixed the gear shifting in EV mode problem. Test involved traffic...
Here in Thailand it’s just call “Roading”
While “Roading” yesterday I managed to half tear off a plastic strip under the front of the car. Be warned the car is not designed for anything but the flattest of roads.
Interesting to hear about overheating problems in Europe. The temperature here in Thailand is regularly into the 40s °C and I have never had any overheating problems/warnings. I purchased my MG HS PHEV in June and have had no requests for an update, but that may be due to my dealer not being up...

MGs are considered a budget brand here. Imported cars are heavily taxed, anything from Europe it’s 80%. Hourly minimum wage in the uk is about the same as the daily minimum wage here. However, all cars are purchased on finance with very small deposits and cars are seen more as a status...
I paid ฿1,359,000 £29,602 €34,955 on the road for the Exclusive model (The only one available here)
Free MG HOME CHARGER with fitting
Free Maintenance costs for 5 years (parts and labour)
Free 1-year insurance; breakdown and road tax
Free Data sim card in the car and subscription to local...
