Mitsubishi to MG HS
Standard Member
First impressions having migrated from a Mitsubishi PHEV to the MG HS PHEV.
The car is performing very well, impressively self driving around bends keeping a set distance, and auto stopping. Very easy and relaxing in traffic.
Couple of observations;
I miss the paddles
I miss the heated windscreen (Monday was cold)
I miss the App
I miss that I cannot tell the car to defrost if it's a work day and below 3'C
I miss the timed charger option
I miss the locking wheel nuts ( though I cannot remember hearing of anyone recently who'd had their wheels nicked )
The HS is a smoother, quieter drive except at the 48mph gear change where it seems to pause.
The battery is currently 8 miles better than the Mitsubishi, which is brilliant.
The seats are considerably more comfortable.
The dash is way smarter, neater, sleeker and definitely more informative, I very much like the multi screens showing massive amounts of information.
The infotainment screen is larger and sharper and perfectly placed.
I love the puddle lights, very nice touch.
I love the sun roof.
Things I miss;
Paddles
Upgrade requests;
Cruise Auto Set to speed signs
App
Questions;
Is there any way to see how many miles each of the engines have done so I'll know when it's run in?
Verdict;
The car is excellent and I'm very happy, it took me several months to be happy with the Mitsubishi, the HS has taken 145 miles.
I've yet to charge at a commercial charge point but I've no worries about that, and I've yet to go long distance ( next couple of weeks ).
