We've complained for some time that pricing for mid-sized Plug-in hybrid SUVs is far too expensive. So the arrival of this upgraded HS Plug-in model is welcome. We're impressed by its better battery technology. And even more by the fact that MG has kept the price affordable. Do you really need to pay more for a mid-sized PHEV crossover than this?
With other PHEVs in this class, you often feel that the manufacturers' hearts aren't really in it. That these variants are only really in the range to drive down the line-up's combined CO2 reading - and that the makers in question don't really care too much about how many they'll actually sell. In contrast, MG absolutely expects to shift this electrified HS in decent global volumes and has priced the car to do just that. Plug-in hybrid tech may not have a very long shelf life - some European countries reckon it might be banned by 2035 - but right here, right now, it's a great option for many family buyers. And if you agree, then you need to try this car.
