Unlike the car.Could be the case in the UK. But not over here in the Netherlands. The Xpower sales seem to go slow here anyway.

Short answer no.I've had my wheels rebalanced by a tyre shop, they were significantly out. That helped a little. Now waiting on the damper fix, booked in a week away in Australia. Will report back.
I've also heard it may be from the 2 motors in the X-Power. Is there a way to engage only front? Pretty sure Normal mode is rear and Sports is both. Eco?
So you can only test if you do not floor it in Eco and Normal. Still doable.Short answer no.
Sport and Snow 4WD
Normal, eco, rear wheel drive until you bury the throttle then 4WD.
Put on the power distribution screen to see 4WD activated briefly when turning out of junctions etc. (In normal and eco)
I've tested it in ECO mode and also in "Energy Saving Mode" + ECO mode combined and I still have the vibration at 70mph. The front motor would not have been engaged/used as I was cruising with very little power.I thought only sports used both? But eco would logically only use the rear. Worth a test whether it reduces the issue?
Thanks JohnyG.
Though I feel a lot of the vibration cases in non XPowers are from late 2023 cars. That is way after the Xpower demos.
It usually pops up after 100kph and increases with higher speeds. Mine already started vibrating at or little above 80.
Softer rubber on the Pirellis do help. But it is still there.
Just to mention the results of the roadforce test: right front wasn't perfect but no reason to worry. Right rear tire however in the middle radial was clearly off. I will get a new tire asap. Hope this will end the vibration issue.Not an Xpower, but same obervations here.
A couple of other MG owners have either pushed the dealer to check the rims and tires (again..). Some also made a deal for a Roadforce test and the dealer fixed the issues afterwards. Mostly very positive results. I will have this Rodforce test done next week or the week after.
Could you describe the vibration? Does it increase with higher speeds? Is it different under acceleration ?Shame I missed your poll. I would have voted Yes and Yes. My XPower suffers from vibration at speeds above 103kmh most noticable. I had all for wheels rebalanced and even front to rear and rear to front tyre rotation, but the problem persists.
The recall damper fix had already been done too.
The car is again to be checked by MG and I have been advised by the service department that they have to refer the case to MG as to next steps....
I feel I am in for a protracted resolution.
Hard to describe. But it's a vibration as opposed to shake.Could you describe the vibration? Does it increase with higher speeds? Is it different under acceleration ?
