Here at Planetauto, we know that when we have an MG on review, a road trip must be on the horizon.
In this second part, join us as we travel back, making the most of the Economy.

What do you think of the MG HS PHEV? Can you see yourself in one? Annabelle
Yes I'd love one if it was full hybrid but unfortunately I've nowhere to charge it
Ah yes, you’re not the only one, lots of choice in full hybrids though, thank you Daniel
@@PlanetautoUK There is Indeed, but I want the MG 🤣 I'll look into getting a wall box. Great video thanks
Move house time 😆 maybe a touch drastic
@@PlanetautoUK Just slightly 🤣 I'm watching your MG4 video now
I got my HS PHEV on June 1st and added 2000 miles in the next 7 weeks, a mixture of local EV and longer fast A road journeys. MPG is not really relevant as it’s about cost total of fuel and electricity in relation to miles travelled, my first month was about 16 pence per miles (60 mpg on the cars long term average consumption display). But the car changes the way you drive and you try to deplete as much EV range as possible on each journey, this is reducing cost per mile drastically. I charge at home for 31p per KWh but this is about to reduce to 9.5p KWh with Octopus Go EV tariff. I’ve come to MG from a BMW 420d Gran Coupe (a great car), but I am genuinely blown away by how good this MG is and the incredible value for money it offers.
Thank you Peter for your experience in the HS, we recently had an Egg charger on Octopus installed and the savings compared to street are night and day, plus it’s time you get back if it’s at home rather than a supermarket etc. It’s great you can see the changes first hand from ICE, my driving style changes whenever I enter anything EV etc, yet I still enjoy driving the as much, I do miss the sound though.
Had the hs for 29 months love it not one problem will be heading back to mg dealer soon to upgrade
That’s excellent news Sammy, thank you - are you going for new HS or another model?
As with all hybrids, the savings are around town and B roads, so although the MPG on long motorway trips is poor, its more than cancelled out for normal day to day driving. Plus there is the low purchase price, and the extra performance the hybrid offers.
Very true, this is why we mention PHEV’s don’t suit all, especially if your doing primarily motorway miles. Thank you Stephen
Loving the reviews when you get to take the car on a road trip somewhere hope we get to see more of these videos
Thank you Luke MG4 and New Niro Electric roads trips coming over the next couple of months, have you seen the Q4 one?
@@PlanetautoUK just watched it really amazing review I loved the kia ceed one
@@GameWithViiP3R thank you, we love to really get to know the vehicles, I’m currently editing a 3 Isuzu D Max off-roading expedition.
@@GameWithViiP3R the BMW iX one is pretty cool too 😀
Hi guys as this ones now a deleted shape , can you do a short reveiw on the newly tweaked and slightly redesigned hs trophy with auto box . I am a little sad that the glass roof has been dropped( shame) which although not a utter deal breaker , made it a bit special .
Has the previous very laggey info centre ,prey been upgraded ? , plus 10 out 10 comfort for rear passengers (well done mg) did mg carry over the rear seat back with the original tilting function? Ps they don't do the colour your driving anymore , shame .
We’re currently trying to get this and the X Power, we’ll keep you posted Ellis
I have one because of your reviews, a most excellent car. And I have had Toyota's for 20 years, so have something to compare it with.
My word, thank you Michael
Be interesting to know what the rough cost per mile of your road trips are? Everyone is pushing for EV’s but at 50p per kwh (average price) are they still cheaper per mile than say a PHEV or diesel? Charging station near me is now £1.10 per kwh
Good idea - we’ll add that to subsequent road trips, thank you Paul
yo shared professional - 🎥
Thank you, Prohodaction.
Excellent review of what is pretty impressive car 🚗 from MG.👍
Thank you, you can tell we weren’t using the new stabilised camera 😆 😀 MG4 road trip next David
@@PlanetautoUK now that should make for a very interesting review 🤔
We are really looking forward to, David! Let the randomness ensue…
Evening Guys,
Bit of a weird question - do you know how many radio station presets are available? Is it only 6? Thanks 👍🏻
Very old school comment, we commend you - off the top of our head not a clue, we’ll see if we can tell from B roll, thank you Eddie
6 x 3 DAB/FM/AM :)
@@PlanetautoUK thanks guys 👍🏻😊
@@TimHayton awesome, thank you Tim
@@TimHayton Thank you 😊👍🏻 lol I've got my MG HS on order and was just wondering, looking at the radio in my car today Heart Xmas is back on in Scotland lol
Wow much more expensive than a diesel suv I get 50 mpg out of a diesel Sorento 7 seater AWD 35 to 40 mpg city. However this is excellent real world video I think it’s best on RUclips. So it’s really want you need the car for. Australia. That cruise control is excellent. Some ice cars use the brakes to slow the car rather annoying. Overall still best value cars on the road. mpg is just one cost of a motor vehicle.
Thank you David for the kind words, it is crazy to think ev charging is now less cost effective than combustion 😵💫😊
Hi Guys. Love the video. Do you know roughly what the mpg was for the trip? And how much electricity you put in? Really interested in the MG, the battery would cover most of my daily commute but with a two weekly 500 mile round trip I can't quite figure out if it makes sense.
Thank you Marc, it depends on the roads / speed you travel with a hybrid on whether you get super economy. If you’re charging at home it’ll be more cost effective. An EV may actually be more cost effective say the MG4, do you want a petrol engine? Il check the other info you were interested in😊
Thanks for getting back to me. I think I'm really after averages rather than specifics of driving style etc. My trip is mainly motorway and A roads, average speed of around 50 mph for a trip of 250 miles. I can't really stretch to a full ev, and can't find one that will do the trip on a single charge (in the winter, with a full car and mostly motorways the range seems to be roughly half the published one). Skoda have a tool for this on their site for working out range based on different criteria.
If you had a gun to your head bearing in mind the mg is cheaper and has a 7 year warranty, would you have the civic ehev or the mg. All the he best mike
Please don’t sit on the fence! What’s it to be
I honestly don’t know, they both have there strengths, I like SUVs and cars, it would depend on what I needed it for. The new Civic is fantastic however I’d go for R, and due to it being just Annabelle and I likely MG4, HS is a good SUV but I did expect it to be more economical on motorways etc, great in villages mind - eHEV efficient across the board. Hope that helps somewhat Mike
Just read this 😆
@@PlanetautoUK Many thanks Ben Great content by the way👍 cheers mike
Sounds like a lot of road noise
That’s the air con as mentioned and a Rode Professional Mic, drive one and you’ll see it’s rather refined Anthony
