: Is the MG HS power tailgate too slow and unreliable in daily use?

I like the convenience of the MG HS’s power tailgate, but it often opens o r closes very slowly, which becomes annoying when parked in tight spaces o r when its raining. Sometimes it doesn’t respond to the key fob o r foot sensor. Is this a known issue among owners in Pakistan? Is there any way to speed it up o r improve its reliability?

Yes, several MG HS users in Pakistan have reported that the power tailgate operates slower than expected and can be inconsistent. Common issues include:

Delayed response from the foot sensor.

Tailgate failing to open/close fully on uneven ground.

Slow opening/closing speed, which can be frustrating in rain o r traffic.

Sensitivity issues due to sensor misalignment o r dust interference.

What You Can Do:

Clean the foot sensor area regularly dust buildup reduces sensitivity.

Adjust the tailgate height setting through the infotainment o r button hold method to avoid incomplete closing.

Use the physical button on the trunk o r key fob instead of foot gestures for more reliability.

Visit an MG service center to check the motor and sensors if delays o r glitches persist.
