Award-winning plug-in hybrid SUV
The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid has strengthened its reputation as one of the UK’s best-value electrified SUVs, earning major recognition after standing out against strong plug-in hybrid competition.
Auto Express has praised the HS Plug-in Hybrid as the pick of the MG HS range, highlighting its more refined drive, strong electric capability and improved overall driving experience compared with the petrol model.
A plug-in hybrid built for everyday electric driving
One of the biggest reasons the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid impressed is its ability to cover many daily journeys on electric power alone.
According to MG, the latest HS Plug-in Hybrid offers up to 75 miles of electric-only range, helped by an upgraded 24.7kWh battery. That makes it ideal for commuting, school runs and local journeys with zero tailpipe emissions when the battery is charged.
Real-world range that makes sense
While official figures show up to 75 miles of EV driving, real-world use will naturally vary depending on driving style, temperature, route and load.
Even so, independent reviews suggest drivers could still expect around 50–55 miles of electric range in everyday conditions, which remains a strong figure for a family plug-in hybrid SUV.
Refined, smooth and easy to drive
Auto Express noted that the plug-in hybrid version delivers a better driving experience than the petrol HS, particularly thanks to its smoother braking feel and the way regenerative braking blends with the conventional brakes.
That makes the HS Plug-in Hybrid well suited to stop-start town driving, while its refined motorway manners help make longer journeys more comfortable.
Spacious family SUV practicality
The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid combines electrified efficiency with the size and usability expected from a modern family SUV.
Inside, there is generous passenger space, a practical boot and a high driving position, which Auto Express highlighted as giving good forward visibility.
Modern interior and technology
MG describes the HS Plug-in Hybrid as offering a spacious, refined interior with dual-screen infotainment, advanced driver-assist features and a smooth, efficient driving experience.
The cabin is designed to feel modern and user-friendly, with digital displays, smartphone connectivity and the comfort features drivers expect from a family SUV.
Big value against premium rivals
What makes the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid especially compelling is how much it offers for the money. With prices from £32,245, MG positions the HS Plug-in Hybrid as an accessible route into long-range plug-in hybrid SUV ownership.
Against many higher-priced rivals, the HS stands out for combining electric range, space, technology and strong equipment levels without pushing into premium-brand pricing.
Backed by award-winning recognition
MG’s HS Plug-in Hybrid has also been recognised by What Car?, winning Best Plug-in Hybrid in both 2025 and 2026, further underlining its strength in the plug-in hybrid market.
