It took me a long time to find out that the seats move more backward when keeping the buttons pressed for more than 10s.

Interesting... I sat in a Cyberster in the showroom last week, and found the seat didn't go back far enough (I am 6' 3" or 1.91 metres).
Are you saying if you push the seat base button backwards for more than 10 seconds, the seat goes further back?
Why on earth would they design it like that!?!?!?!

Yes it does. It is really amazing. They might have put this in to prevent the chair bumping into the back, but in that case the margin is huge, so I'm not sure that's the reason. I'm myself 1,83m (6 foot) and struggled at first for an optimal position, but when I - by accident - pushed against the button with my knee while driving - it suddenly started to move backward. What a relief it was. For me it's certainly not tight.

I also saw a Youtube reviewer being unable to properly adjust his seat and discarded because of that the car.

Another explanation is that the space behind the seats is considered in China with typically smaller people, more of cargo space? Average height of male in China is 172cm or 5,8 feet, versus 180cm or 5,91 feet in Europe.

Or maybe MG just doesn't want to sell this car in a higher volume in EU? ;-)

Another observation: 'easy entrance' puts the chair more forward than my position, so I disabled that feature, the Memory positions remembers properly the setting, but you need to keep '1' or '2' pressed during the chair adjustment.

It's designed in China. They have very few tall people!

Thanks for this post, the chair position is my only (current) frustration! I wonder if it works to “lower” the seat at all

A mi también me gustaría saber si la silla se puede bajar más de lo que aparentemente permite. También he notado que es estrecha.
Moderator: Please post in English. Translation:

I would also like to know if the chair can be lowered more than it apparently allows. I have also noticed that it is narrow.

Is there any way to release the lock of the charging cable besides the cenral driving screen? I'm always having trouble to unlock it even if the cable is disconected from the charging panel.
Thank you!

I just turn the car off and on again with the remote. You have a few seconds to remove it then.

I just ordered an original Yoke steering wheel from the Thai MG Dealer in Phuket and although it comes in red only and my car has the grey interior.
It takes 45 days to deliver and costs about THB 11.000,- including installation.
I will update with some real pictures once it is installed....
Last week (2025-06-11) my red (the only available color) yoke steering wheel arrived and was installed at the MG Dealer in Phuket. The yoke comes as bare as possible so every item has to be moved to the red yoke including the grey airbag/horn button
The red/grey combo color kept on annoying me so I decided to modify my old grey steering wheel. I liked the result so I installed it back. Now I have a red yoke steering wheel for sale.

Time for a group buy?

It seems to only be available im Thailand. Unless you go to the factory in Fujian yourself.

Here is something they should adjust in their next update. The auto wiper function. Especially after rain. When you get in the car seated, and the door is open, the wiper first swipe after rain will wipe all the water into the car.

I assume only RHD cars have this issue?

Is there a manual for all the vehicle's features? For example, what happens when you activate the Super Sport? How do I deactivate traction control? Hidden button options?

super sports gives you access to all the power the machine have. to deactivate you need to do it on the control screen unther the "Driving" Tab. disable the autohold and the ESC....then you can do the rocket launch.
