Centre console sockets.

[Billy321]

Currently waiting for my MG3 hybrid + in Hampstead Grey to arrive (been told end October (hopefully??)).
But I was wondering if anyone already with there MG3 hybrid could tell me if the 2 USB sockets (USB A and USB C) and the 12V socket in the centre console are live when the car is switched off?

I can tell you that the 12V socket is NOT live when the ignition is off.

Here is the information from the Owner's Manual.

Thanks for this.. it seems the Manual contradicts itself, with the 3rd warning down suggesting discharge of battery when vehicle not running but then in details says vehicle needs to be ACC/ON/READY to use sockets.

It just means that you can only use the socket/s when the ignition is on, but if the vehicle is not running at the time (to charge the battery), then you will flatten the battery.
