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.

    MG3 Hybrid + Trophy, latest software updates.

    I've started this thread for the MG3 in the title, as I'm not sure of the relevancy of or to the other models and to give a clear title to find in a search I'm a bit behind what's going on lately as I've not been too well. Has anyone had any updates done? How was it done? What was actually...

    MG3+ Acceleration

    This a quote from Autocar MG3 review. It’s not unusual for cars to better their quoted acceleration times by a little when we test them, but rarely do they beat them by this margin. MG quotes 8.0sec for the 3’s 0-62mph sprint. That’s already significantly quicker than the hybrid versions of the...

    MG3 Hybrid Sunroof Buffeting

    So I have a very annoying sunroof buffeting problem on my MG3 Hybrid. Even at low speed, if it's completely open it starts drumming and sounds like it's going to rip off. Never had any sunroof problems like this on other cats I owned. As there is no front sunroof dam or pop up cloth screen, I...

    MG3 Hybrid Oil Change

    Ok, so are you happy to leave the factory oil in your MG3 Hybrid engine until the 10,000km service? Not me. I am used to having an early break in oil service on new cars and 1000km is pretty standard on some manufacturers engines. So i decided to get that factory oil out of my MG3 Hybrid at...

    Top marks MG3 Hybrid

MPG hovers around 68.7 - 74.3, which says it all. I've had Volvo, Hyundai, Ford, Vauxhall, Chrysler, Peugeot and, going back a few years, a Standard...
