The lag I experience is usually at 80 km/h and very momentary. Never been dangerous . Yours sounds worse than it should be so bring it to your dealer to have it checked out .

If you live on a hill and the start of your day is driving downhill for a considerable time, you could recharge to about 61km range. This is because if the battery is fully charged, it does not like regenerative charging going downhill, and the ICE engine...

I treat mine like my phone - charge it every day . I have a standard timer on the wall socket which limits charging to off peak or shoulder times , so I don’t end up charging at peak rates. As my daily commute is less than 20km this suits me just fine. I could , at a push , charge every other...

Good to know , as I could not find any reference to it in my manual .

Correct side !

Does anyone know what this might be ? I initially thought it was a spot for a boot light in left hand drive vehicles . When I opened it up , there was a loop of cable or wire like a pull toggle . Could be see if there was a wiring socket behind it….

Acceleration time is 6.9 sec to 100kmh. (Near Golf GTI ). I screeched the tires when driving out of the dealership on the test drive. EV mode is near silent, with a nice soft jet -like whine. So much so when the ICE kicks in , it seems rough in comparison . I...

No doubt that the ICE version will save you money in the long run, unless 99% of your trips are under 63km . But the drive is soooooo much better in the PHEV .

The only annoyance is the flat spot at 80kmh when in pure EV mode . Otherwise it’s a fantastic car and great value for money . The 360 camera and sunroof are worth the extra money for the trophy spec.

You will love it ! If you are already used to the slightly clunky MG infotainment system , you will find that the PHeV has superior acceleration to the 1.5 petrol . The only thing you will find annoying is the flat spot in acceleration at around 70-80kmh in pure EV mode due to a gear change ...

My front parking sensors are called EYES. Very easy to use with the 360 camera .

It happened to me today when I was opening the sunroof before full boot of the computer - maybe related to a voltage drop ?

The car is often marketed as 1.7l/100kms - which is true for the first 100km because you are running on battery for the first 63km . After that I get around 7l/100km on petrol alone . Which isn’t bad at all , considering that’s what my Golf Mk6 did !

Annoying ? Yes ! Dangerous - well I’m not so sure. Once you get used to it , you can anticipate it . Early DSG gearbox drivers had the similar lag issues , but they got over it .

I assume you followed the refueling procedure in the manual - right ? The cap is tighter than older cars as the new emissions standards require containing the fumes . It’s a problem if your hands are weak or arthritic.

Always fixed by the bill gates solution- power off and on .

Is your recharge set to high low or auto ? On long trips mine pretty much drains the battery to zero when set to auto .

Downhill also charges your battery and if it’s too much charge or the battery is full , regen switches off and the car defaults to the ICE to slow you down .

The fact that there is a voltage reading in the car dashboard means there is a Battery Management system in place . Perhaps it’s a BMS fault ? Practically, though it’s easiest to test by replacing the battery .
