MG Motor UK launches two hybrid models

MG Motor UK has launched two models today (28th May), the MG HS Hybrid+ SE and MG HS Hybrid+ Trophy.

The MG Hybrid+ powertrain consists of a dedicated 1.5T Hybrid petrol engine (105kW), working with an electric motor (146kw), on board generator and 1.8kWh battery.

Combined power is 165kw (225ps) which allows the MG HS Hybrid+ to accelerate from 0-62mph in 7.9 seconds, through a two-speed auto transmission first seen on the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid.

The MG HS Hybrid+ can achieve 51.3 MPG (WLTP combined) in addition to low CO2 emissions of 126g/km.

David Allison, head of product and pricing at MG Motor UK, said: “The Hybrid+ will be a great addition to our best-selling MG HS family, blending performance and SUV practicality with a super-efficient hybrid powertrain that keeps running costs down.

“Just like our recently introduced MG3 and MG ZS Hybrid+ models, we’re confident it will prove to be an extremely popular choice for both our existing and new customers alike.”

The MG HS Hybrid+ features two 12.3-inch high-definition displays: the central display is dedicated to infotainment with live navigation services including weather, live traffic updates, access to Amazon Music, and smartphone connectivity via both Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®.

The Trophy model has a 360° surround view camera with real-time visualisation of the vehicle and its surroundings, powered by the driver assistance systems, and wireless smartphone charging.
