MG Introduces Hybrid+ Power to the HS SUV Range​

MG is turning up the power and efficiency in its popular HS SUV lineup with the launch of its new Hybrid+ powertrain. The upgraded models—MG HS Hybrid+ SE and MG HS Hybrid+ Trophy—combine electrified performance, refined driving dynamics, and impressive efficiency, all backed by MG’s signature value.

Prices start from £28,995 OTR for the SE and £31,495 OTR for the Trophy, with both models covered by MG’s comprehensive 7-year/80,000-mile warranty.

Electrified Performance Meets Practicality

At the heart of the new Hybrid+ system is a powerful combination: a 1.5T hybrid petrol engine (105kW) working in sync with a 146kW electric motor, onboard generator, and a 1.8kWh battery. Together, they deliver a combined output of 165kW (225PS), enabling 0–62mph acceleration in just 7.9 seconds via a smooth 2-speed automatic transmission, previously seen in the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid.

Despite the performance, efficiency remains a strong suit, with fuel economy up to 51.3 MPG (WLTP combined) and CO₂ emissions of just 126g/km.

“The Hybrid+ will be a fantastic addition to our best-selling MG HS line-up,” says David Allison, Head of Product and Pricing at MG Motor UK. “It blends performance with efficiency and practicality—key factors for our customers. Following the success of our MG3 and ZS Hybrid+ models, we expect strong interest in this latest release.”

High-Tech Interior and Everyday Versatility

Inside, the HS Hybrid+ features twin 12.3-inch high-definition screens. The central display supports full infotainment functionality including live navigation, weather and traffic updates, Amazon Music, and smartphone integration via Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. The Trophy model adds a 360° surround camera and wireless phone charging for added convenience.

The virtual driver display offers two themes (light and dark) and three customisable modes—Map, Digital, and ADAS—allowing drivers to tailor the interface to their preferences.

Premium interior touches include soft-touch materials, a three-spoke steering wheel with updated controls, and a shuttle-style gear selector. Comfort is prioritised with 6-way power adjustment for the driver’s seat, 4-way adjustment for the front passenger, automatic LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers, keyless entry, and cruise control.

Safety and Space for All Needs

The HS Hybrid+ comes equipped with MG Pilot, a suite of advanced safety technologies including:

  • Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian & Bicycle Detection
  • Lane Keep Assist and Lane Departure Warning
  • Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist
  • Driver Attention Alert
  • Forward Collision Warning
  • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
  • Door Open Warning

There’s 507 litres of boot space, along with clever interior storage to meet the needs of families or business users. With roof rails supporting up to 75kg and a 1,500kg towing capacity, the HS Hybrid+ proves just as capable for weekend getaways as it is for everyday driving.


The MG HS Hybrid+ blends style, efficiency, space, and safety—delivering a compelling package for anyone looking to make the switch to electrified driving without compromise.
