MG HS hybrid 2023 review: +EV Essence | Mid-size plug-in hybrid SUV long-term tested over 3 months

At around $53,000 driveaway, the MG HS+EV is a pricey MG, but a relatively affordable midsize plug-in hybrid SUV. Andrew Chesterton has family tested it over three months to see how its petrol-electric tech measures up in terms of economy and day-to-day ease-of-use.

Each month he took a different approach to mimic likely customer habits. Charge the car once, then run it for the rest of the month like a regular petrol-powered SUV. Next month, let the car’s brain optimise the mix of petrol and electric power. Then, play it 100 per cent by the book, charging the battery every night to minimise combustion and maximise EV efficiency. Which approach worked best?

Over time, Chesto found plenty to like and some things he wasn’t completely convinced by. Is it right for your family? Press play for a run-down on the highs, lows and flat-out surprises from his time with this five-seat, electrified market favourite.
