Had my XPower since September '23 and not once had a vibration at speed (obviously not going above 70!). Am I just lucky?
I got above 70 in about 4.5 secs yesterday ?Had my XPower since September '23 and not once had a vibration at speed (obviously not going above 70!). Am I just lucky?
4.5 secs! Taking it easy then? ??I got above 70 in about 4.5 secs yesterday ?
Only just picked mine up so I’ll give it some beans later on and see if the vibes rear their ugly little heads…
Nope, its not a hybrid. I think the vibration is very noticeable on flat highways. But honestly, prob not an issue for most NZ drivers on NZ roads.Is the X power the plug in hybrid version? If so it explains why the Main NZ dealer, that I bought my ZS EV from is offering $3,000 NZ discount. I had originally thought that it might be due to the fact that EV's and Plug in hybrids are having to pay an extra road tax in April. The EV is around $75 (25 pounds) per 1,000 Km same as a diesel but the PHEV have to pay almost as much and they still use petrol so it is quite a blow to PHEV users. The tax is used for road maintenance, or is supposed to be. But a vibration, I presume when both motors are running seems as if they did not do enough testing before bringing this version out. The plain "Gas buggy" Mg's seem to be OK as I know several people who drive them.
Yes seems the demo cars are hand picked, anyone buy a demo ?I had a test drive in an Xpower last week, no vibrations to note at all on the highway (was on autobahn in Germany). Speeds up to 150kmh.

Totally agree, perhaps thats why I thought they were gone after wheel balancing. Then after a few trips out and about they were back, but not as noticeable!Yup me.
197 miles on the clock.
Vibes from the get go.
I'm going to say this out loud and want to know if anyone feels the same.
Today, the vibes were to all intent and purposes, gone.
I mean, they are there, no doubt about it.
But really, quite oddly, and occasionally almost undetectable.
I reckon that's why some folk say they have none.
Perhaps those of us who have them are more sensitive to this sort of thing?
Two days ago I remarked to my wife how noticeable the vibes were.
(Still very light, but more noticeable)
I also get times where I can feel them through the seat and pedal.
Same roads, same temps, wet, dry, no ryhme or reason.
My loaf is being done in.
My Xpower was delivered last Friday and this morning is the only chance I’ve had to give it a good run. The vibes are not good. This is a big issue that I’m absolutely going to MG about. It’s also the sound. It’s like the car is in 6th gear at 60mph and trying to drag its arse along but it’s the vibrations making the noise. It pains me to say it but if this issue only sits with the Xpower model, I might need to chop it in for a long range ??Yup me.

Such a multitude of responses re the vibes m8.My Xpower was delivered last Friday and this morning is the only chance I’ve had to give it a good run. The vibes are not good.

Will do. Did you say that changing your tyres removed the vibes issue?Such a multitude of responses re the vibes m8.
Your not the only one who have it bad.
One chap likened them to driving over a cattle grid!
It will be interesting to see if your dealer knows anything about it or acts dumb!
Keep us informed m8?
Your probably right, can't see a company car scheme authorizing a complete tyre change. Then again can't see a dealer doing that either. Looks like as with most X Power owner's you'll have to live with itWill do. Did you say that changing your tyres removed the vibes issue?
Problem I have is mine is through a company car scheme so my rights may not be the same as buying direct from the dealer.
I have emailed Tusker who provided the car to see what my options are. Cannot see how MG have a leg to stand on with so many people complaining about itYour probably right, can't see a company car scheme authorizing a complete tyre change.

(If you can) until hopefully a definite fix is found. ?
Hope your right. ??I have emailed Tusker who provided the car to see what my options are. Cannot see how MG have a leg to stand on with so many people complaining about it
This will be when mine arrives in a couple of weeks ?I got above 70 in about 4.5 secs yesterday ?

The car is owned by an ex work colleague, not a dealer demo car.Yes seems the demo cars are hand picked, anyone buy a demo ?
