Poor cabin heating

[Gaza66]

Two weeks into owning my sleek Cosmic Silver S5, and now that the outside temperatures have started to drop, I’ve noticed an issue with the cabin heating. When the A/C is set to Auto, it only seems to send a faint amount of warm air to the front windshield, regardless of blower speed, with no noticeable airflow coming from the other vents. Even when I set the temperature as high as 25°C, the cabin never reaches the desired warmth.

Even when not in auto although air can be selected for all the vents the amount of heat coming from them seems very minimal.

Anyone else had an issue with their cabin not getting warm or poor heat output?

What driving mode are you using ?.
If you are in eco mode, then expect that the heat to the cabin, will be vastly reduced.

Driving mode is "normal", my first EV so wasn't sure if it would be considered normal. I was thinking about getting a digital thermometer and seeing how far away from the required temperature the cabin actually is, I don't recall seeing an option for ECO but will check to be sure.

We have only had our car for a short time now and have not really pushed the heating system much at all really.
I do like the fact that you can command the heated seats from the App though .
I am not even sure if the MGS5 had an eco mode if I am being honest, I use the default mode of normal and find it great.
Eco mode on the other MG models, does reduce the heat output from the cabin heater greatly.

I imagine COMFORT mode is the equivalent of ECO on the MGS5.
