Greetings from Cyprus.
We have had the ZS Hybrid+ trophy edition since July 2025 which is a great car and we just had the software update applied to address the over-revving issue. This has mostly fixed the problem, although like a lot of other users here I note that the car generally revs higher now and is a little more noisy overall.
1. Prior to the software update I had a pretty alarming drive in the mountains. For context this was the first time that the car had a fully loaded boot and 3 passengers. It was very hot >30 degrees with AC on moderately.
The over-revving and under revving was so pronounced going both up and down hills with moderate to steep inclines and declines around a lot of winding roads. On occasions I needed to slow down dramatically to to encourage the rev counter to stabilise.
When eventually getting back onto the motorway the car would suddenly over rev even on a flat.
The weight of the vehicle and inclines/declined definitely had a negative impact on the revving.
Has anyone noticed this phenomenon both before and after the update? Any suggestions? I may not be able to recreate the weight and mountains issue anytime soon so I can’t fully check if the update has worked.
2. One thing I have noticed after the update is that whilst using the cruise control, the over revving has still happened, but disengaging the cruise control immediately reduced the revs.
This is a little frustrating as the motorways in Cyprus are perfect for assisted driving and when it works properly it really is amazing.
Has anyone else noticed these 2 issues and has any suggestions?
