MG HS Plug-in Hybrid

Overview

The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is the plug-in version of MG's mid-size HS SUV. It pairs electric drive with a petrol engine, and the powertrain code on the page is a 1.5 litre turbo with a two-speed automatic. MG notes that What Car? named it its plug-in hybrid winner in both 2025 and 2026. It is sold in SE and Trophy trims.

Electric range

A 24.7 kWh battery gives up to 75 miles (121 km) of electric-only driving on the WLTP combined cycle. MG pitches that figure at short urban commutes, where the petrol engine would rarely be needed. The page does not state a charging speed or a charge time.

Technology and the app

A 12.3 inch touch screen and a 12.3 inch virtual driver display come with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, satellite navigation and wireless charging. Keyless entry is joined by a Bluetooth key that lets the owner lock, unlock and start the car from a phone. The MG iSMART app can lock and unlock remotely, locate the car, show fuel level, range and tyre pressure, plan journeys, set cabin temperature and pre-heat the seats. A Wi-Fi hotspot is listed for Trophy.

Driver assistance

MG Pilot is standard. It covers adaptive cruise control with speed limit assist, active emergency braking that detects pedestrians and cyclists, forward collision warning, lane keep assist, a blind spot monitor that helps with lane changes, a door open warning and rear cross traffic alert.
