It will be under 10 million for sure

[zee5han]

Its a really good deal under 10 for a PHV , has all the features and frills , beautiful interior , does it have DCT?
The only problem with HS was its awful fuel average which is fixed with PHV and DCT gearbox (heard many times on these forums about transmission heat up issue)

[zee5han]

h6 is bigger but getting a brand new PHV under 10 million is really good

[ahmadbilalchaudary]

The biggest problem is its ac compressor going bad. Tons and tons of mgs have got this issue. Pura engine dashboard khulta hai for cars with mileage as low as 10k kms. I don’t think phev has solved that problem.

[faakhir19]

Price for MG HS PHEV is 9.5 million exclusive With-holding tax

[zee5han]

Does it have DCT transmission?

[faakhir19]

No. It’s 10 speed edu2 transmission

[ASR]

Cooling coil

[hassannabeel27]

I don’t think phev has solved that problem

Why do you think they have not solved this issue? I think they replaced these cooling coils within warranty that would cost them money. They should have solved this issue in new model.

There's still no official word on its pricing from MG.
How do you know then?

In a PHEV, quoting the mileage with a XYZ L/100km is not correct, I would rather say misleading. For a PHEV, the correct quote should be either a full tank or with 1000km like BYD is quoting.
The point is when the battery is fully charged, you have a sufficient EV range to propel just on motors and the engine does not really kick in. The battery can propel upto lets say 50-80km ( in most normal PHEVs) without even needing the engine. So essentially after depleting the battery, you have already covered ~60kms and then rest with the engine upto 100kms, thus getting astonishing fuel figures.
MG has not a very efficient engine and the real mileage will then be to the rest of the 940kms if quoted with 1000kms mark where the car acts as a mild hybrid like Aqua/Prius instead of a PHEV. Overall, it will give near to 18km per litre over 1000kms which is good anyways.

[hassannabeel27]

Well, PHEVs are more practical in everyday usage scenario. Daily commute of people is usually less than 80km. They can do the commute and charge PHEV for the next day easily at home. This makes fuel average very good.

On long routes one doesn't really care about fuel average as 95% of time person is doing day to day travel only.

PHEV is very good in bridging the gap in combustion engine and total electric cars.

If they can price it right they can totally take over the market

Haval and Santafe need to bring Plugin hybrids and reduce prices as well.

[sohaibshaddy1]

Tbh for most of the people with solar at their homes, plug in hybrids really does make a lot of sense where their daily commute is less than 60kms which is the case for most people. The car will essentially cost you free or very less. Even upto 80kms daily commute, expenditure of fuel will be very nominal. If priced correctly, a PHEV does make a lot of sense.

But quoting the fuel average to be 58km/L is absolutely misleading, we all might agree to this.

Yes it also have DCT transmission like the regular MG HS. Only the difference is that it's first 4 gears are Electric because it can run on electric solely. And the remaining 6 gears are DCT. That is why it is called 10 EDU 2 transmission.

[hassannabeel27]

So that means gear heating in traffic congestion would not be an issue anymore because of electric gears.

[pwuser167550015690]

I don't fully understand how the HS PHEV's transmission works exactly but the 4 electronic gears wouldn't be a substitute for the mechanical gears because the car can run out of battery (even depleting the levels required for HEV operation) and still would need to run so the 6 mechanical gears would also cover the lower range as well.

It's likely that in most scenarios, you would be fine because you should always have some level of charge left in your battery even in start and stop traffic jams to avoid engaging the mechanical gears too much.

[pwuser164140872680]

It's PHEV technically will work like as follows:
Upto the speed of 60 km/h, it's first 4 gears will work on electric and when the speed will move up from 60 km/h, it's remaining 6 gears of DCT transmission will be used.
So far the drainage of it's electric batteries is concerned, it can charge directly from regular electricity port in the vehicle on the opposite side of fuel tank. And when it's batteries become drained during your drive, then it's batteries shall be charged through regenerative technology like other hybrid vehicles.

[zee5han]

That was very informative ,thanks . I've kept many hybrids (Aqua/ Vezel/ Cross and now h6 hev) but never a PHV or EV
