I went from Jaguar xfs had from new for 13 years cost me a fortune but really enjoyed it, now im 74 iv had a HS phev dont do many miles averaging 70miles to gallon, pefrect for my cycle trips and fishing trips , i hardly put any petrol in just charge it after every trip perfect for retirement.

[@TotallyEV]

That's some really good efficiency!

[@themackeler5011]

@@TotallyEV it will do around 30 miles or more depending how you drive it on electric only and also picks up fast on electric only but I don't do many miles so just fine for Pensioners like me .

[@TotallyEV]

@themackeler5011 glad you're enjoying it!

I’m due to collect my cosmic silver HS dct trophy on the 4th Jan. This was a great review and insightful. Here’s another fact under the handle for the arm rest there is an air filter that helps clean air flow through to the rear passengers to the rear air vents.Thanks again ! 😉

[@TotallyEV]

Glad you enjoyed the review and found it useful! Interesting, thanks for sharing, didn't spot that.

[@TheRealJT84]

Why I cannot see the DAB radio station logo on my Mg Hs?

[@TotallyEV]

No idea.

[@TheRealJT84]

@@TotallyEV but it usually has it??

[@realmrboatguy]

Only Luxury

[@TheRealJT84]

@@realmrboatguy what do you mean by only luxury?

[@bvn3009]

How is the milage if you drive only in hybrid mode.

[@j.h-sr7em]

Hi, great review, thanks, but can't seem to find the sound system review link please

[@TotallyEV]

It's coming soon, stay tuned! Glad you liked the review.

​@@TotallyEVI ordered 1 of these in the 1.5 petrol auto Trophy in Silver, excited to see what the speakers are like! Thanks

[@mazbpl]

I am keen to know what happens after initial charge of battery is exhausted and it runs on hybrid mode taking charge from the engine..i suspect these PHEVs dont give very hood mileage on hybrid mode

[@TotallyEV]

Tested figure is including a depleted battery!

[@mazbpl]

@@TotallyEV ok. So are you saying that the car still gives great mileage (40-50MPG) after first 25 miles on pure EV are over.

[@TotallyEV]

@mazbpl correct!

[@ronpower7790]

I had the pre Facelift model as a rental car and found it very loud and tiring at highway speeds. My recent Qashqai is much more quiet especially in the lower frequency range. The media system is junk imho e.g. switching between seat heating and apple car play is a pain in the a...the shortcut buttons need to be close to the screen not where there are.

[@TotallyEV]

Thanks for sharing!

[@aldocarr3653]

I took the a 22 model out for a spin and it was super responsive at all speeds , is the new one different?

[@TotallyEV]

It might be, can't be sure, sorry!

[@gazzrobb2366]

I bought this car yesterday 24 plate mainly because of your review if I had known it didn’t have 7KW charging or charging timers I wouldn’t have bought it who told you it had 7 KW charging?

[@TotallyEV]

All info (other than tests) are from MG UK

[@Tatisifetita]

Thanks for review

[@TotallyEV]

Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!

sHi Nicely explained video, other videos HS show a Sunroof, different seats red center panel, etc, Other models have DCT Luxtuary Trophy, Top of Range, does this apply to thin Hybrid model, Can you Please leave a link of this model, and spec. Much appreciated. Regards welshman2081

[@TotallyEV]

Hi, everything you need to know about the vehicle being sold in the UK was covered in this video. More info can be found in the written review, linked in the description or pinned comment!

[@ronthomas380]

@@TotallyEV Hi Thank for the info

[@TotallyEV]

@ronthomas380 no worries

[@ellisrochlin2267]

seen a hs cat on offer , hardly any miles , price obviously is very good , emailed them to ask if mg long warranty still honoured , so far no reply

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Worthy price tag as in size and inclusive extras but insurers give below par safety rating letter, BUT not so for the same vehicle with standard petrol only 1.5 turbo . Meaning mg didnt safety match brake wise the extra phev horsepower or the extra 250 odd kilo weight when going over road holes/bumps . If the standard petrol version with auto box could constantly average 40 ish mpg in mixed driving i would have no hesitation to buy a 23 or 73 plate but mates got one in trophy form only getting a meanish 30mpg in town. His motorway trips have better numbers but not convinced .

Thanks for sharing!

Top spec has panoramic glass roof :) At least in EU.

[@TotallyEV]

Guess it's different there, thanks for sharing!

[@wayneheyes4934]

250 miles! That’s it ? My Corolla gets 500 plus on a full tank there is no way I’m looking at this as an option now I’d be filling it up twice a week!!!!!

[@TotallyEV]

That's right.

[@wayneheyes4934]

@@TotallyEV sadly now off my list a car that big and only 250 miles is unacceptable

[@TotallyEV]

@wayneheyes4934 many hybrids won't get more than 350 miles FYI.

[@wayneheyes4934]

@@TotallyEV well my 2021 Toyota Corolla gets 552 miles on a full tank and that’s a HEV

[@geoffbrooks5502]

The tank is tiny

[@gazzrobb2366]

It only charges at 3KW not 7KW

[@Twisterpins1649]

You get 7kw if you get a wall charger 3kw is if you use the 3 pin plug

[@ellisrochlin2267]

Trophy but wheres the sunroof gone ? wheres the option of the gorgeous cream black seats dash and door insets ??? Seems only privileged 1st world countries LOL like cambodia, Romania ect etc, have these included in the trophy price . PS THE TROPHY IS ABOUT 500 EUROES CHEAPER IN ROMANIA , once you do a pound for euro valuation

[@TotallyEV]

Yes, it's a shame!

[@leeriding4144]

Don’t bother trying to have a conversation in this car if the air con is on, horrifically noisy!

[@TotallyEV]

Really? Doesn't have any issues here.

[@Bakar1247]

Poor mileage

[@FreeMySpirit]

Just bought the petrol only version. Absolutely trash!!!!! The gear box and engine are rubbish plus the quality of the used materials screams cheap China..... I wish I never bothered with this overpriced junk.....

[@TotallyEV]

Damn, sorry to hear that!

[@oyekeye]

You've been to every forum with same line. Return the car if you don't like it.

[@jphaines830]

Nonsense, love my petrol Trophy. Not top of the range luxury but by far the best in terms of what you get for the money. Mine

[@Trevelyan1971]

@@oyekeye but why shouldn't they ? I agree the MG HS is terrible along with most of the other MG range (maybe MG4 is a slight exception) ...I don't mind being seen as a 'troll' if I manage to save one person from buying into the horrible world of MG.
