The “deep sleep mode” sounds like a good idea to prevent the 12v battery discharging and preventing starting. However, it appears to me that it happens quite quickly, I generally use the iSmart app every morning, to prevent the car dozing off and to see if the app is reporting -37C. Just to...

I have Hybrid+ Trophy (PHEV) and it does not have a heated steering wheel.

I’m currently with British Gas and on a good single rate tariff, not off peak. BG was going to be more expensive to have off peak. So I did some research and discovered that Octopus were also going to be more expensive. I was advised to wait until April, when the new tariffs will be announced...

Not that I’m an expert, as I’ve only had my hs hybrid for just or 2 weeks. But as far as I can make out the car will limit the charge to slow charging wherever you connect. I’ve got a ‘granny’ charger in my garage, and I put the car on charge when needed. Unlock, open flap, insert plug. Switch...

Hi, thanks for the reply. Just wondering if there are any implications, such as if you use iSmart to turn on heating might this affect that?

Good afternoon everyone. I previously posted on the ZX forum, but have just bought a HS Trophy, pearlescent white with tan interior, and I’m very pleased with it. Anyway back to the matter in hand. When I check the internal temperature of the car using iSmart in the morning, it shows...

It appears to me that this is an unnecessary feature. The only time that could be of use is if you are carrying more than one shopping bag. If you’re only carrying one, you can push the button under the MG badge, or use your key. If you have a shopping trolley do the same. If you are in the...

I took delivery of my HS Trophy on the 20th Nov. I researched online, and ended up on Amazon, where I purchased an EV Dance Mode 2 Portable IP66 Charger for £99. Used it at night, and it performed perfectly, you can select 4, 6, or 10 Amp charging, of course the lower the amperage, the longer...

Got my HS Trophy on 20/Nov and was delighted to discover the MG mats were in the car. Overall an excellent experience from Birchwood MG in Eastbourne.

I’m currently driving a ZS, but collecting a new HS Trophy next week. I tend to turn of the bongs and rely on the flashing speed limit on the dash. I must say that with increasing proliferation of 20mph speed limits, I would feel very stupid if I got done doing 25mph, when my car is equipped to...

I think I must be missing something, my HS has a USB socket on the left hand side of the central housing at the top middle of the windscreen. This is powered when the ignition is on. Of course if you need front and back cameras and a permanent supply, this would not be suitable.

Agreed but 25 quid against a car costing thousands.

Hi Maliki. An excellent synopsis, which aligns with my overall experience. I suppose I expected the ZS hybrid+to provide much the same driving experience, as a non hybrid car. The reality is that a hybrid provides a very different experience, and this takes a bit of getting used to. However...

The reason I replied to you, was because you said, “ I don’t think the battery power is involved, just the petrol engine.” in your response. If you do some research, you will discover that the main source of energy, for acceleration and high speed e.g. 112 km/h (70mph) will be the battery. If...

Agreed, however I think software update PD052 was issued to overcome the “loss of power” problem, although I have never experienced it. PD052 changes the way the/my hybrid system works. If anything it revs more, but this is to ensure the battery capacity never drops below 30%, and therefore...

At the risk of repetition, hybrids provide excellent MPG, I’m getting 56mpg on normal driving. But they use a complex computer system to achieve this, and the outcome is a different driving experience, to other internal combustion cars. Following the release of software upgrade PD052, the...

Hi Dave. Regarding the section of the response you received, “please note this is the hybrid system working and generating power to the motor of the vehicle”. As this is ungrammatical, and makes no sense whatsoever ever, I think it’s reasonable to conclude that Craig doesn’t understand how the...

Or anything else?

Thanks for the heads up. Makes you wonder why MG includes a whole section relating to the navigation system in the MG3 manual, but doesn’t bother to include it in the ZS Hybrid manual. And although to they are well aware of this oversight, they have not made any attempt to correct it. The ZS...

If, as has been suggested there is a difference, in that the SE model has a different sound system, with a Graphic Equaliser, and the Trophy model doesn’t have one, then this could explain why none of us with the Trophy have a GE. I suspect that the video has “mixed” video, and this has caused...
