The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid returned to the podium at the 2026 What Car? Awards, winning the ‘Plug-in Hybrid of the Year’ title for a second year in a row. What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford commented:
"The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid deserves much praise for its back-to-back successes, the PHEV sector is highly-competitive and we reviewed many new, strong contenders. But the MG HS remains our choice at What Car? due to being a practical plug-in hybrid, with a stylish interior, that long electric-only range of up to 75 miles and also remaining within the budget reach of private buyers.”
“It still sets the standard for What Car? with other cars available for similar money not attaining quite the same levels of generous space, keen running costs and practicality. The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid also holds the Best Family Hybrid SUV title from our What Car? Electric Awards.”
David Allison, Director of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK, explains:
“The HS Plug-in Hybrid remains an extremely popular choice for UK motorists with just 8,000 cars delivered in 2025. Its electric-only range of 75 miles due to a high-capacity 24.7kWh battery is a strong selling-point as a standard, family commute can be covered with one charge.
“The MG HS Hybrid+, equally spacious and generously equipped, means customers also have a self-charging hybrid from MG which can achieve 51.3 MPG (WLTP combined) in addition to low CO2 emissions of 126g/km. Overall, the MG HS range of both petrol and hybrid SUVs was the UK’s 8th most popular car in 2025 with just over 30,000 sales.”

We offer a range of vehicle finance facilities through a panel of carefully selected third-party lenders. We do not provide customers with independent finance advice and will not offer facilities from lenders outside of this panel. RRG Group Limited is a broker for finance and not a lender. The lenders that we use are given first right of refusal. This is because these lenders will pay us a commission for introducing you to them. Commission may be calculated based on either a fixed amount relating to the vehicle you are purchasing, a percentage of the amount of finance you are borrowing, or a combination of both. We may also get paid an additional fixed commission if you are a returning customer. Different finance lenders may pay different commissions for such introductions. Such payments will not affect the amount you pay under any finance agreement, all of which are set by the lender. We will inform you of the amount of commission that we will earn in good time. We will require your consent for us to receive this commission. Our approach is to introduce you to a lender on our panel who will offer you the best package taking into account eligibility, product suitability, as well as interest rates and other factors. Our aim is to secure the best deal that you are eligible for. You do not have to take our finance as it is available through other distributors. You can arrange funding for your vehicle elsewhere and it may be cheaper. Finance is subject to status, terms and conditions.
