MG HS PHEV 500m Road Trip to Lloyd Vehicle Consulting and Friends Social Part One

[@MikePriceUK]

I have EXACTLY this car (22 plate…😎) and I am extremely pleased with it. Traded in my Merc C200 and despite the smaller engine, it would leave my Merc 2.0 far behind! Got 335 mpg last week (local journeys…)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Great news Mike, they’re impressive SUVs - it’s rather rapid yet silly economical, enjoy and thank you - Pt 2 shows motorway journeys etc

[@scottishcarenthusiastsandtrain]

Great little roadtrip, the MG looks like a real comfy place to eat up the miles and sounds good when you put the foot down. Looking forward to part 2 already.

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thanks, Davy! Part 2 is on the way, and I am also looking forward to it, as I can't remember the rest of the trip due to feeling awful from my second Covid-19 jab. *A

[@mattsbeamer]

A great road trip. I would have loved to have gone to the social too. A lovely turnout. That MG seems to be a great allrounder. Thank you

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re welcome Matt, it was a fun day and great Road Trip too

[@emptyal5341]

I believe the battery retains about 20% power for hybrid activity, even when EV only is unavailable. We haven’t done a long trip in ours yet, but will be interested to see how it goes. I expect 6.5-7 L/100km (NZ)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Have you any planned? It’ll be interesting to see what you get, thank you Empty

[@marcgoodey9968]

Hi, any news on part 2. Really interested to see what the mpg is like on a long run with just one charge.

[@PlanetautoUK]

It’s underway, hope to have it out soon - thank you Marc

[@markonmotoring]

I do love a good road trip. That MG was a very nicely equipped vehicle. I still think.only snobbery of the highest level would stop someone consudering this over other brands of SUV. In a separate note, I don't think anyone bought a Mustang with an ecobust engine. We must prefer our muscle cars with a V8. Thanks for the shout out Ben. Brought back some great memories seeing my Mégane pulling into the Social.

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re very welcome, it was a very memorable trip, lots more planned for this year, thank you Mark

[@therealkrisjenner]

Very entertaining road trip! Humorous- made me laugh a bit. Good job! Even though we just have the regular HS, with the Petrol engine, it does have a 360 camera (if I’m not incorrect I think only the hybrid has the 360 camera in the UK, correct me if I’m wrong)

[@PlanetautoUK]

Thank you Kurtis, the petrol variant is great fun, it’s a shame the ZS didn’t have that Turbo 😆 good question - I can’t remember off hand, I think the petrol exclusive may have it

[@leemarsh9727]

Hi guys can you tell me if mg is bringing a mg hs mild hybrid to the uk or a awd thanks

[@PlanetautoUK]

No word as yet, currently it’s all MG4 - we’ll keep you posted if anything changes, thank you Lee

[@shabsc4723]

Hi is there going to be a road trip video on the ZS SE long range? Thanks

[@PlanetautoUK]

There is, we filmed one when we went to the restoration show, thank you Shabs, shouldn’t be too long

[@stephenparker5272]

Great video, Annabel and Ben. Dealers are advertising these brand new for March delivery @ £29000, be rude not to would'nt it?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Stephen that sounds a steal, is that for next year or have they some in stock?

[@SS1Productions]

Thanks for the video! Thinking of getting this next year - perhaps used depending on what's available - any tips appreciated :) Also, what was the overall mpg you got for this leg of the journey? Might have missed it in the video

[@PlanetautoUK]

You’re very welcome - Have you seen both parts, firstly ? 😊 There’s a review too, thank you SS1

[@SS1Productions]

@@PlanetautoUK didn't realise the part 2 was out just watched it and question answered, thanks!

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@SS1Productions excellent, thank you for replying - it’s great you found out what you needed *A

[@richardhowlett9424]

Wish I could have been there , had to work that day . How would you have got on in a purely electric car ?

[@PlanetautoUK]

I take it you sent your clone in your car 😆 this was last year Richard, we didn’t make last weeks either 😀

[@PlanetautoUK]

It would have been easier to charge for some strange reason, we’ve got a road trip coming up with an Audi e tron in June

[@richardhowlett9424]

@@PlanetautoUK I watched in the middle of the night without my brain switched on ! You did put it out a few days after Josephs latest meet at Cadnam !

[@PlanetautoUK]

We did 😆 Classic miss direction non intended mind, we had fun that day 😀

[@nickolsen5686]

It's too bad you guys don't get the Marvel R Performance in the UK - you would love it I think! :)

[@PlanetautoUK]

I know 😕 we would love to see it, let alone drive it, thank you Nick

[@leemarsh9727]

Hi is mg going to make just a hybrid mg hs

[@PlanetautoUK]

Hi Lee - as far as we know. the HS will always be a PHEV, as MG have a few new models coming out soon they’ll likely be only EV (and there is also the petrol HS) but don't quote us on that! *A

[@MrStevenastley]

Where's part two?

[@PlanetautoUK]

Coming soon Steven

[@MrStevenastley]

@@PlanetautoUK What mpg did you achieve in the end?!

[@PlanetautoUK]

@@MrStevenastley il have to check

[@stephenparker5272]

Hi ben, they are Exclusive trim for march delivery. Probably a face lift model on the way .

[@PlanetautoUK]

Ah cool, thank you

[@stephenparker5272]

@@PlanetautoUK I think my post is misleading- they are for delivery now.

[@PlanetautoUK]

That’s good, many vehicles have long lead times

[@livinglifefast]

270bhp? Not quite. It's got 258ps(255bhp).

[@PlanetautoUK]

It was at the beginning, and it’s 284 in China, uk emissions played a part in the reduction of power same with ZS etc - this video is 1 and a half years old

[@leemarsh9727]

Hi guys can you tell me if mg hs is coming in a mild hybrid or hybrid thanks lee .

[@PlanetautoUK]

Bar the PHEV, we’ve not heard anything, thank you Lee

[@leemarsh9727]

Thanks guys

[@flyinghedgehog3833]

Need camera actually looking at instruments...not you

[@PlanetautoUK]

Part 2 goes into more detail with economy and the hybrid system, also our full review covers all that, the road trip is our views rather than tech talks and lots of close ups.
