What are map lights ? does it plug into usb available on the side ?

It works for those in UK wanting better seats as passenger wouldn't mind turning towards the centre

The latest ZS or MG4 doe not have electric adjustment of seats however my 21 HS Phev had electric adjustable seats. That said ZS was more comfortable than MG4 and Kona. 30k budget EV vs 74k Jag. Comparing Apples and Oranges that said as I mentioned 21 HS Phev had those

Thanks. Yes we this will be our 3rd EV if we ignore 3 years of HS Phev + 1 year of Outlander. I am aware of balancing cycles and yes we have 30kWh of LFP powering the house on daily basis. Haven't come across any degradation data but LFP is definitely better at handling abuse compared to NMC

My wife is going to be the primary user and she can't do split rear view ioniq 5 would have been nice but we were looking for cheap and cheerful.. 14k for SE seemed decent. I sold my HS Phev only a few months ago for 14k. Wish I still had it

I find the question a bit strange.. acceptable loss of range ? How long is a stick? A given car has a fixed amount of battery capacity. How hot someone likes the cabin varies from person to person. ZS also does not have any Heat pump so you are using electricity to heat conversion at 100%...

Having sold the HS Phe last summer, I thought that was the end of MG for now.. Alas accident in Leaf meant we needed a new car. I was hoping that Hyundai Kona would prove a decent fit but it was too cramped. ZS facelift is very spacious for passengers just like the HS. Budget was cheap and...

Audi A6 ACC being compared to MG HS Phev. Apple and oranges. I’ve had the HS for 20k miles and sure it is crude but you get what you pay for.

I think this is due to chip shortage. Check with your dealers when this will be fixed

You should always do what works for you. IMO I easily get 30-40 miles and most definitely 3 miles / kWh. Local roads and careful driving can push it to 4ish but its not an EV and its not small. Good luck

My car is currently at 19k miles with a signification bit in EV mode. Dropping kids off to school, picking them up and then going to tennis a few times a week is all done in EV mode. That said we have had few long distance journeys. 1x Cheshunt <-> Aberdeen 2x Cheshunt <-> Dundee 3x Cheshunt <->...

@Matty regarding 1, I have replicated this issue multiple times. If you are down downhill for a while the car exits EV mode. My initial guess was something to do with increase of speed while going downhill causing it to exit but since then I have managed reproduce it while actively braking...

Parking brakes not releasing only happens when I am moving the car and can't be bothered with seat belt. It refuses to auto disengage. Have to manually release them each time

Whilst my original question to them was suggesting software update, from my usage, the design of braking system on HS Phev is significantly different from other EVs and PHEVs. The system tends to use both simultaneously and while software can fix many things, it cannot change hardware design...

18k miles, 16 months that is the 1st time I am hearing of this sort of behaviour. Starting issues could be related to 12V battery but can't think of anything that would cause it to not shut down

With wireless CarPlay / Carlinkit, there is a separate volume for guidance which somehow isn't there when I used wired CarPlay. I tend to wait for it to start a guidance and I turn it up.. once guidance finishes, I reduce the volume - which then reduce the audio system's volume.

nah there is always a buffer and you can use the car like a normal Petrol car however it won't be as smooth as the hybrid gearbox relies on some EV gears. That said I have driven it a few times without any charge at all.

I sometimes lock the car, some times forget.. yes it start charge mostly without any issues

I think this is a general design constraint with brakes itself. Most plug-in and all EV have braking which pushes for max regen before friction brakes come in. HS Phev brakes however do not. I mentioned this in my original gripe which was sent to MG and they said different design / won't fix

no update as far as I know..
