Congrats on the new ZS @tonym1601, and welcome to the forum, it may be a bit of trial and error to find the best mode to suit you, but you'll probably find Normal mode works best. As for the service, it is very expensive isn't it, I tried to offer a bit of an explanation in this thread.

I bought an MG ZS hybrid+ a few days ago. So I'm very "green" in terms of some driving experience on that car. It seemed to me that sport mode could be the best choice, if we want to protect the gasoline engine and achieve better driving performance. If I understood the instructions correctly, in sport mode, the car charges the battery as a priority, so that the petrol driver always has maximum assistance from the electric motor, when he needs it. In this way, too frequent starting and stopping of the gasoline engine is avoided, especially important in cold conditions.
