Mg HS PHEV has some serious issues that no body is talking about

[suchaljavedgam]

Bought the new MG HS PHEV 2026 a month ago. Brand new. Started having heat issues. The car has some serious bad quality windows that on full ac blowing. The heat coming inside makes you hate the car. Even after tinting the entire car in 50% solar film to reduce heat. There wasnt much of a difference. The car has ac tripping issues. And most MG,s have it the ac trips after about every 15 minutes of working and gets back on after 2-3 minutes. No body talks about this. RAISES A SERIOUS CONCERN. And both these issues are in most of these cars. But no body seems to be talking about this. And the company says that this is a issue of the AC compressor and it needs to be replaced. But upon multiple visits they say that it has to be replaced but to get a warranty claim they need to prove it to the head office and they are unable to prove it. Seems vague. And this same thing has been said by multiple dealerships across the country (multan, lahore(2dealerships) the exact same thing was said. And this car is about 2 months old. 5000km driven.

In Electric Vehicles, the AC, motor, and battery share a closed-loop thermal system. When bonnet heat dissipation is poor, heat builds up around the AC condenser and power electronics. This reduces refrigerant cooling efficiency, causes safety overrides that divert cabin AC to cool the battery, and results in weak, lukewarm airflow.

Restricted Airflow: Many EVs utilize sealed, aerodynamic front grilles to improve range, which severely limits natural convective cooling compared to traditional vehicles

Poor heat dissipation in EV bonnet compartments causes the buildup of heat from the high-voltage drivetrain, motor controllers, and HVAC systems. Because EVs lack traditional grilles for engine breathing, insufficient under-hood airflow traps heat, reducing motor efficiency and increasing cabin cooling loads.

Do not know about high-end EVs but EVs under use of the general public in Pakistan are very much having the above said problem. Our local car manufacturers need to use ducts like those used in portable ACs or install something like kitchen hoods as frunks to enhance the heat dissipation.
MG PHEV may also have the same problem.

please take your vehicle to MG shop, stick to issue of heat dissipation & HVAC problem.

Avoid generalizing something he said that she said that, they talk about it they discuss about it is only hearsay. specially when evidence is non-existent immediately to be presented.

Be practical about your vehicle issue and get it resolved from the MG Shop. It is a capital investment and you must get the service of premium level for premium price paid.

The only issue is they are unable to present it on paper. They all know and have felt. That the HVAC trips. And the AC stops working every 15 minutes. But, the car gives no errors. And they all know its the compressor which overheats and trips. And internationally it has been reported. The compressor issue is a known fault. But the surprising fact is that in Pakistan MG PHEV is owned by thousands of people. But no body talks about this issue or the cabin heat. And personally i know the owners of the same car and they face the same exact issues. But no body talks or raises any voice.

I think the first main issue is that MG front windscreen, door windows and back glass all come with zero tints from factory. This allows a lot of heat to come in. I owned MG ZS. Even in winters, its would become hot inside. I used solar tints which were of some help. I even did the tint on front windshield.

The AC in MG ZS was fine. However, in MG HS PHEV, I have felt that its cooling is a little on lower side. However, i didn't find any tripping issue in older model HS

It is very easy to prove the issue. The service center technician needs to plug the diagnostic device in and drive around with you for a few minutes until it starts tripping. It will show clearly.

Do not listen to their cock and bull stories.

A noob question. Exactly which model have you bought? The new one which they call MG HS Super Hybrid or the old version MG HS PHEV that is without regenerative braking?

[suchaljavedgam]

Did you see super hybrid or hybrid anywhere. I guess PHEV has been clearly mentioned.

The only issue is they are unable to present it on paper.

That is a load of BS. If your car had a rattle from the suspension and you want it to be repaired under warranty, how would they explain that on paper?

I own a Chery and I have had clutch, steering rack and lock alarm replaced under warranty. A video was made and sent to head office, approval was sent and the job was done. On my Civic, radiator hoses and inner door handles were replaced under warranty. On my BRV they replaced all four door seals under warranty due to squeaking noises. So IMHO your MG dealer is throwing sand in your eyes.

Ask them what is the standard procedure for filing a warranty claim by MG dealership and go from there.

Appreciate that you shared this. Most owners dont as they dont want the car to lose resale value. Amazing the number of problems in Chinese cars.
