Correct. There is no hybrid model (PHEV) on the MG Australia web site. Interested to learn from you that it will "not be coming soon". This is what I read : perhaps June 2025? https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/2025-mg-hs-phev-set-to-get-a-huge-bump-in-electric-range Hi Phil - This...

Thank you. So is that the same as, or different to, the earlier 2022-23 car? Sorry for my ignorance. I am asking in order to learn - in case I think of changing / upgrading next year to the all new HS PHEV.

Thank you for this most interesting note. We have not got the new MG HS PHEV in Australia (or as we call it here the MG HS + EV). This new model is expected to become available in Australia in June 2025. I presently drive the MY 2023 (the old one with the 16.6 kWh battery). I am interested...

Hi Larry, I am in Sydney with the same car : MG HS + EV 'Excite'. MY23. Production date Oct '22. Have also been concerned about : the lack of a spare tyre. the auto locked car doors above 15 km per hr. (Much prefer if this was a user option rather than you-have-no-choice!) my mistake with...

Thank you.

Yes, above a speed set by the manufacturer BOTH these take place simultaneously on MG HS and on MG HS + EV. 1. The mirrors automatically fold out. 2. The car doors auto-lock. I am a driver who much prefers the car auto-lock to be user defined. The auto lock feature to be activated or not...

If it is a cold morning and you wish to travel 24-25km almost entirely on EV ..... -- Set the air temp in the car to 21-22 degrees and let the ICE come on for about the first 3-4 minutes to heat the air temp in the car. Then after 4-5 minutes you may find it allows you to switch to "EV only"...

Thank you. Are these EcoFlow batteries available in Australia with Aussie socket points? What ......W output and .......Wh capacity for this basic job : a kettle and two light bulbs for half a day!? If this is the solution then I suppose I could just keep it charged and ready through the...

I have the MY23 MG HS + EV 'Excite' in Sydney, Australia: with the 16.6 kWh battery. As summer storms approach soon, just wondering, just asking ...... In the event of a storm, or other such emergency, where power supply to the home is interrupted for very many hours, or over a day, is it...

I actually drive this car in Sydney : same issue : MY23 MG HS +EV "Excite".

If MG is listening - there is no doubt in my mind that auto door lock should ALWAYS be a feature thats USER configurable: or every dealer - mechanic should know how to get it ON / OFF in a couple of minutes. No ifs, buts, or may be. No erudite conversations about safety, accidents etc.

I bought a MY23 MG HS + EV in Sydney last month. How does one stop the Sat Nav from asking for "Acceptance" of terms and conditions of use every time it is used: so asking for 'acceptance' 30 times over 30 days of use ??!!

Hi Cafeg, My experience and driving in Sydney would be similar to yours in Hamilton. We are a retired couple and expect to be driving this new MG HS + EV bought 3 weeks ago, as usual, around 5700-6000 km per annum. So, not much at all. Like you, we will be in EV mode 95% of the days we drive...

Hi Amun : thanks for pointing us in the direction of the manual. I should learn to read. Yes, the manual for my MG HS + EV gives the solution correctly and simply. No need for that 'perfect-light-touch' training! What the manual says works very well. When the window is moving up / down the...

Yes, having the same issue with my newly acquired MG HS + EV in Sydney. Have always had slim line weather shields in my cars so as to be able to use this option (one-inch open windows) because of various obvious reasons in our climate. If parked on a hot day - some small air circulation, to...
