Why is my new MG5 suffering from condensation?
I've just bought an MG5. The only problem is it’s bad with condensation but when I put the heater on it drains the battery. Can you help?

A car this new should not be suffering with condensation, so it may be that there is a leak somewhere in the vehicle. Although using the car's ventilation system does drain the battery, the impact on range is relatively small. In addition, if you use the MG iSmart app on your smartphone you can pre-heat the vehicle while it is still plugged in, demisting the whole car without any impact on your range.
