Iv had one the exclusive phev for a year ,70 miles to the gallon , 0 to 60 is quick with 256 bhp you have to drive it reasonable steady but i use it mostly short journies , nothing has gone wrong at all same as the day i bought it , unlike my Jaguar xfs brought brand new , turbo blew after 6 months without the car for 1 month just out of guarantee the tubo actuator blew £1000 to repair , blew again with in the year , loved to car kept it for 13 years cost me a fortune in tyres, brakes discs repairs servicing cost dear anyway now i am 74 this car is brilliant for money , easy to get in and out , my eyes are not the best but driving position is great , very comfortable car for my old bones , charge to car on ordinary house hold 13amp plug no problem , MG have reasonable cheap servicing 7 year warranty im not doing many miles so most of the time i am on electric which is quick on its own, plenty room in the back for my Trek Domane + alr bike plenty room for my fishing gear so as you can tell im happy chap at the moment it does it all i want , im a engineer by trade so iv owned Jags , Mercs and Britis Crap in the 70s and 80s and British MGs and most was rust buckets and needed loads of repairs so this little jem will do me.
I bought a new one a few months ago with the red interior and love it. I drive a fair bit in town and most journeys under 30 miles so in EV a lot. Driving around normally I get 100mpg so I’m really pleased with that. On a 1500 mile trip with our caravan and a roof box fitted I averaged 40mpg. I find the car to be a relaxed and comfortable drive
Had one of these as a rental in France, the powertrain was dangerously unpredictable. Overtaking simply is dangerous because the car couldn't decide if it wanted to give the full 260hp or not!
Drove the MG3 on a test drive and it felt the same on the motorway. Loved it till I couldn’t get to 70 then after I let go of the pedal it shot off. Same happened on a bend first bend 30 was fine second bend same pressure shot up to 45.
Like to know the fuel loss , once battery is drained as this is 300 plus kilo heavier than non plug in , so for example you got a 100 -120 mile roundtrip and not able to spend time recharging. The non plug in auto box will be about with a bit of town and motor way roughly 35 mpg all together. Can pick up the new shape non plug in. With top spec, auto box 9 months old for 22 k .
I’m interested to buy but i am little bit confused because i’m not sure on EV Mode how many KM we can drive it and how much electricity required to charge full.
Petrol mode needed to demist front screen and use air conditioning. When driving in petrol mode, the accelerator pedal vibrates. Otherwise I am very happy with this vehicle.
@@BuckleUpShow I drive slowly around town using Electric mode most of the time.Rarely do I drive on motorways and then I use hybrid mode. So far I have not noticed any problems with the gearbox.
Just got one as a company car and tbh I don’t think it’s great. Got about 190 miles for £45 worth of fuel - doesn’t seem great and the tank seems small as well. My own fault I should of had a test drive and read up first lol 😂
@@BuckleUpShow Hi Thanks for the info, the link you gave me was for the Hs, but I would like the link for the HS PHEV. Please, do you know if you can get red or blue color on seating, etc, Thank you for the quick response,
I think its a very beautifull car, i test drove it 2 weeks ago and the gearbox made me choose a other car...arround 80km/h 1 or 2 seconds lagging...unreal
This guy has put zero effort into this video. What a joke. The rear lights are new led and new design. The rear exhaust is new design. The rear bumber and splitters are new design. The alu wheels are new. The infotainment system is upgraded. The car is longer. I properbly missed some more changes.

Sounds ideal for you, thanks for watching!

Exhaust rear and lights totally different to previous version ???
Think the word ‘totally’ is doing some very heavy lifting there
Honestly I don't mind the lost boot space, if it means I don't have to lift stuff over the lip any more.
Buy an estate, the boot lip will be lower

It’s certainly not the smoothest power train in the world

NEW HS Phev coming July..hope you guys get to test it..bigger battery apparently.
Hopefully we will
Does sport mode or whatever it’s called have any effect on the gear change? Thanks!
Not really, just holds onto gears for longer than it otherwise would. Sports mode in pretty much every ‘normal’ car does almost nothing.
@@BuckleUpShow Sports mode on normal cars is like a fat man putting on some trainers

There’s not much difference between them unless you plug it in every night and only use petrol power for longer trips.
I’m interested to buy but i am little bit confused because i’m not sure on EV Mode how many KM we can drive it and how much electricity required to charge full.
Not very far, probably about 30km. And it depends how you charge it for the time.
What if I don't charge it through the plug and use only gasoline?
Then you just use the engine like a normal car
Very nice review. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
I wish I could buy this in the US
Unlikely MG will venture across to the US unfortunately
MG: More Gears. Amazing what you get for the price
10 gears is pretty good value tbf
@@BuckleUpShow but you know 6 is for Petrol Engine and 4 for EV Engine, that's why its acting slow with kick down
We know that's what the various gears are for, I'm not sure it excuses the kickdown
Petrol mode needed to demist front screen and use air conditioning. When driving in petrol mode, the accelerator pedal vibrates. Otherwise I am very happy with this vehicle.
The gearbox is the main issue
@@BuckleUpShow I drive slowly around town using Electric mode most of the time.Rarely do I drive on motorways and then I use hybrid mode. So far I have not noticed any problems with the gearbox.
This is called the MG eHS in mainland Europe.
Fantastic news
@@BuckleUpShow It’s one of few MG models now available in Romania. The brand has been sold there since December 2023.

The new one seems much better on initial impressions
Hi, Great video exciting car. \\ Can you please give me a link to the spec and information for the Trophy.Thank you very much, Regards welshman 2081

@@ronthomas380 www.mg.co.uk/new-cars/new-mg-hs-plug-in-hybrid You will be best ringing your local dealer, we're not a dealership.
@@BuckleUpShow Hi Many thanks, I thought the PHEV was different from the HS Trophy, On both no windscreens defrosters. Regards

I had the exact same thing happen to me, weird lagging issue. Needs some fettling me thinks.

The rear lights are new led and new design.
The rear exhaust is new design.
The rear bumber and splitters are new design.
The alu wheels are new.
The infotainment system is upgraded.
The car is longer.
I properbly missed some more changes.
I think the term used was ‘basically the same’ i.e it hasn’t changed much. It wasn’t really worth mentioning in our opinion.
This review would be much better if you were wearing glasses
*sunglasses
It sounds great but in reality it's not as it seems, with dodgy software and it might have a 7 year warranty but try and get spares for them.
Find me a modern car without dodgy software that have spares readily available. There aren’t any unfortunately.
One of the worst cars i have drivin, Ever.
Have you tried a Vauxhall Crossland?
@@BuckleUpShowYes!! For that reason I stay away from Vauxhall😅
