MG HS Hybrid+ proves price-conscious, but not frugal
So no plug, but electric support while driving. The Hybrid+ not only complements the existing plug-in hybrid HS, it also cleverly positions itself between the MG ZS Hybrid+ and the plug-in variant of the HS. So, if you were still in doubt, MG now has a solution for every hybrid desire.
MG HS is price-conscious, but not frugal
With a starting price of 36,950 euros, the MG HS Hybrid+ is almost three thousand euros cheaper than the plug-in hybrid, with a price of 39,285 euros. For that difference, you get a lesser electric range. That makes sense, of course, since you can’t charge it with a plug. Fortunately, the hybrid support still benefits your consumption. Especially during acceleration and at low speeds, the Hybrid+ offers electric support. Experience tells us that this is also very comfortable.
In short, the hybrid is not so crazy for those who do not want to actively charge with a cable. What is also noteworthy is that this MG HS Hybrid+ is competitively priced. Especially compared to competitors. By comparison, the Kia Sportage Hybrid starts at 42,795 euros. A fine car, certainly, but MG shows that it can be a bit cheaper and still be richly equipped.
Standard comfort features
When you talk about a base trim, you might think of the lack of options. Nothing could be further from the truth with the MG HS Hybrid+. As Comfort, this SUV comes standard with many extras. Think full-LED headlights including follow-me-home function, so you don’t have to shine with your phone’s flashlight, rear parking sensors, electrically adjustable and heated door mirrors, an electric parking brake with auto-hold, rain sensors and keyless entry. Not bad for the price.
The Luxury goes the extra mile. A 360° camera, wireless phone charger and a more extensive arsenal of assistance systems. What’s also nice is the towing weight of 1,500 kg, so that caravan or trailer can just tag along.
The choice is vast, but smart
MG is actually not making it easy with the arrival of the HS Hybrid+. Because yes, there is now a lot of choice within the brand. But that is in the positive sense of the word, there is something for everyone and certainly for those looking for value for money.
