MG HS PHEV, at a glance

  • £32,495 OTR: Invicta’s advertised price for the HS Plug-in Hybrid SE, checked 12 September.
  • Up to 75 electric miles: published WLTP range on a full charge.
  • 7 years / 80,000 miles: the new-car warranty, subject to terms.

A family SUV for your routine

Could your everyday journeys be electric?

The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is worth a look if you want to add electric driving to family life. Its published electric range is up to 75 miles, with a petrol engine available when your journey takes you further.

Start with the miles you usually drive between charges. A commute, school run and a few errands may ask less of a battery than you expect. Being able to charge at home or work makes it easier to use the electric side of a plug-in hybrid regularly.

The HS PHEV’s recent recognition is covered in our MG What Car? awards news. Here, the focus is the next buying decision: price, equipment and how the car could fit your week.

Start with SE

Technology you can try on the test drive

HS Plug-in Hybrid SE combines a 12.3-inch driver display with a 12.3-inch infotainment screen. It also includes MG Pilot driver assistance and smartphone connectivity, giving you a useful starting specification without moving straight to the higher grade.

If a 360-degree camera, heated front seats and a powered tailgate are on your wish list, compare the Trophy specification on our MG HS Plug-in Hybrid page. Ask the team to show you those features on the actual car you are considering.

On the drive, try the parking view, adjust the seating position and check how naturally the controls fall to hand. Bring your usual child seat or larger bags if cabin access and loading space will decide which SUV you choose.

Charging and ownership

Make the most of the plug-in choice

The attraction is flexibility: use stored electric energy on suitable journeys and have petrol power for longer days. Charging regularly is the way to make the most of the battery. Fuel and electricity costs depend on your journeys and tariff, so a headline economy figure alone will not tell you your running cost.

The MG model information lists a seven-year, 80,000-mile warranty. That gives you a useful ownership period to consider alongside the purchase price. WLTP figures are for comparison. Actual electric range varies with temperature, speed, driving style, load and battery charge.

Ask our team for a quote on the exact HS PHEV you want, then compare it with the other cars on your shortlist. You can start with the latest MG new car offers and arrange a drive when it suits you.
