Hybrid+ - an irresistible choice?

Hybrid+ proves to be an irresistible choice as MG re-enters Europe with a spacious, well-equipped SUV that blends practicality with efficiency. The MG HS Hybrid+ line is offered in SE and Trophy trims, built around a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine paired with electric drive and featuring a choice of a 6-speed manual, a DCT 7-speed automatic, or a dedicated 2-speed hybrid automatic gearbox. Prices start at €38,142 / £29,495, while the Trophy version sits at €37,079 / £31,995, with a longer equipment list. Standard equipment includes Navigation, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, rear privacy glass, a rear-view camera, LED lights, a powered driver’s seat, heated mirrors, adaptive cruise control, and auto lights and wipers. The HS emphasises practicality with ample headroom, legroom, and luggage space, and a Trophy interior described as particularly stylish with a tan option. Critics note the abundance of touchscreen controls and a somewhat slow response, but on the road the Hybrid+ delivers refined petrol-electric power with a composed ride and a value-focused package for families or outdoor enthusiasts.
