hybrid

A hybrid vehicle is one that uses two or more distinct types of power, such as submarines that use diesel when surfaced and batteries when submerged. Other means to store energy include pressurized fluid in hydraulic hybrids.
Hybrid powertrains are designed to switch from one power source to another to maximize both fuel efficiency and energy efficiency. In hybrid electric vehicles, for instance, the electric motor is more efficient at producing torque, or turning power, while the combustion engine is better for maintaining high speed. Improved efficiency, lower emissions, and reduced running costs relative to non-hybrid vehicles are three primary benefits of hybridization.

    Hi everyone We picked our red ZS SE 2 days ago. Loving the drive! It's our first Hybrid and is so well equipped. Just 3 things we can't work out. Is it possible to scan DAB channels? Our available channel list is small with my favourite channels all missing. The Automatic Lights green...

    Who has the most mileage on the MG3 Hybrid?

    So hands up, who has the highest mileage (or kilometre) MG3 Hybrid? How high is high? Any issues arising, advice, etc? What does your fuel use look like, ie is it the claimed 4.3L per 100kms, or whatever number is used for MPG?

    MG3 Hybrid+Heating Vs EV

    I have owned my Trophy MG3 Hybrid+ since August and I'm approaching 4,000 miles on the clock. Residing in Aberdeenshire Scotland, I have observed as we enter the colder months (-4 degrees Celsius at the time of this posting) the vehicles (EV) seems to be less prominent. I am curious whether this...

    Mg3 Hybrid

    Hello everyone, I recently bought an MG3 Hybrid but I was wondering how the electric system works. I've read online that under 50 km per hour the electric battery starts running, however while driving at that speed the display shows the acronym HEV, which I think it means the gasoline engine is...

    MG ZS Hybrid voice command

    Hi, I picked up my ZS hybrid yesterday and I am still learning how all the tech works. I would like to know if the 'Hello MG' prompt works with the hybrid. I have successfully used the voice command button to initiate a call but that's about all. Thank you.

    12volt battery low on MG3 Hybrid Trophy

    I purchased an MG3 hybrid Trophy in July 2024, it has been fine since then but the last few weeks it shows 12V battery low when ignition switched on. I have contacted the dealership for an answer and am still waiting to hear. Anyone else had this problem and been given an answer ?

    MG3 Hybrid A/C at extreme temp

    So we have recently had folks complaining about the MG3 Hybrid cabin heating system. I thought you might like a perspective on the flip side, the cabin cooling (A/C). As we are enjoying our usual summer weather here in Australia, I am happy to report that the MG3 Hybrid has no trouble...

    How does this particular hybrid system work?

    Having done 2.5k miles it seems to have no rhyme or reason to what we are running in at any given time. I can have my foot on the brake approaching a red light and the engine revs up. When driving at a constant speed on level ground, it is forever hunting for the right gear & in and out of EV.

    New Hybrid +

    Just picked up my new ZS Hybrid + from Falkirk yesterday morning. First brand new car I’ve ever bought so I’m over the moon with it. The only think I’ve noticed is that it doesn’t run on EV mode as much as I expected. Is this normal? Thanks

    MG3 hybrid servicing cost and work done.

    We have two quotes now, but neither one mentions servicing the EV side of the car, has anyone else had a quote for that. The way I see it is the engine is an engine and can be serviced much cheaper elsewhere so why pay dealer rates.

    Hello everyone - I'm currently driving a Golf GTE, which I actually really like, but it's just simply too small - not enough room to collect bits and pieces from DIY stores, or hold a reasonable amount of fishing gear, or even transport my wife, daughter and her boyfriend to my in-laws for...
