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

[ady]

Okay, then we are guessing at service prices then @ady .
But I can't see why they would be much difference than the Gen1 model prices myself ?.

Does the AA cover, and the Bear, come as part of the service price? My Ford at the moment has a recovery built into the service, minus the Bear.

Yep !.
The MG dealer will renew your AA membership automatically after each yearly service.

Your very welcome.
Don't forget to ask for your bear !

 

[ady]

Every year, i will make a collection.

If you like that I have so many more!!

Is the servicing costs the same as the Existing model?

Are the Warranty conditions the same ? e.g 12 months on charge flap & seats.

Has the underbody protection/anticorrosion been improved - not fairing too well on a 19 month old dynamic red - pics attached.

Is there more protection but also more aerodynamic panels to help aero under the engine bay & rear seats improving efficiency. Pics attached

I asked about adding an anti corrosion treatment or the possibility of protective panels/skit plate under the engine bay designed to fit the petrol car & was warned off as possibly voiding warranty.

These are some of the issues that are making me consider leasing the next car as opposed to buying as I am worried about long-term reliability & wear in these areas

Great questions - I too would like to know the answers to these. I'd have to keep this car for a bit and while things do happen on any vehicle, I don't want to be getting into these kind of issues if I can avoid it.

I'm not sure if Miles or someone else might know regarding a couple of other things on this facelift (I do realise a lot can't be answered until people have time for a proper hands-on).

- The Connect functionality/trim is where I find UK MG site to be lacking on some details. On MG Europe the comfort trim comes with MG iSMART Lite, and the Luxury just MG iSMART. Is that going to similarly apply here with SE getting a lite version? Or is it the same across the board for all trims?

- Does the dash cam USB port supply power when the car is off, meaning that hardwiring can be skipped for cams that have a parking mode? I'm not at all techy but as I understand it a cam with that feature would usually be hardwired via a piggyback connector to a permanent live connection so it always stays on. I'm just trying to figure out if I can skip that hassle.

- Is there a 12v socket in the boot?

In the UK, the SE and Trophy have iSmart Lite, the Trophy Connect has full iSmart.
I'm not sure about the USB power - I'd imagine it is off when the car is off (as per the other USB ports), but I'll find out once our demonstrator is here.
No 12V socket in the boot.

Any sign of the your Demo cars yet @MilesperkWh ?.
It looks like a few dealers have been receiving their cars, as test drives have started.

which branch?

 

[Miles Roberts CG]

Both, but they've not landed yet, and they won't be allowed out on Test Drives until we've PDI'd them and taxed them. So realistically Wednesday?

Best calling Burnley/Chorley, and ask them to book you in for a test drive slot.

Andy @ Burnley is calling me when the car is ready, just wondered if it might be this week

 

[Wulnoth]

Miles.

Do you know if you can pre-heat the traction battery with iSmart ?

I don't know (yet). We've not been able to test out iSmart without a demonstrator vehicle to physically register the app with.

Can’t wait for your personal review of the car @MilesperkWh .
Do you know what colour you are getting ?.
Can I guess at Battersea blue !.
This is the colour we have ordered.
Switching from “Team Red” to “Team Blue”.
I do like the new shade of blue !.
Not Pimlico and not Lazor blue, a shade somewhere between both somehow ?.
I think you said you changed your opinion of the colour, when you seen it in the metal.
Please let us know when you have had a better chance to drive the car and video it ?.
Cheers !.

Thanks for checking. So like in the Norway spec, some functionality differences between full iSMART & the Lite one which makes sense.

Looking forward to your thoughts on the car overall once you've had chance for a proper root around. Would love to know what colours have been most popular - I was going to go black/silver, but now quite fancy the red

 

[Alan]

Our first demonstrator is due to be delivered today.

Did it come in? Noticed Luscombe's got theirs.

 

[Vattaa]

Would there be any penalty for paying the finance off early?
