    The MG HS Hybrid+ will command only a modest price premium over petrol-powered versions of the mid-size SUV when it arrives here in September 2025.

    Due for sale here alongside the Super Hybrid plug-in hybrid (PHEV), the Hybrid+ will be priced from $42,990 drive-away in Excite trim and $46,990 drive-away in Essence trim.

    The corresponding petrol-powered Excite and Essence are currently priced at $40,195 and $43,285 drive-away, based on a New South Wales postcode.

    In contrast, the HS Super Hybrid PHEV is priced at $52,990 drive-away (or $50,990 until July 31) in Excite guise, or $55,990 drive-away ($54,990 drive-away until July 31) for the Essence.

    The HS Hybrid+ will battle a growing throng of mid-size hybrid SUVs, including the top-selling Toyota RAV4 and more recent introductions such as the GWM Haval H6 Hybrid, Honda CR-V e:HEV, Hyundai Tucson Hybrid, Kia Sportage Hybrid, Nissan X-Trail e-Power and the upcoming Subaru Forester Hybrid.

    MG offered a plug-in hybrid version of the previous-generation HS, but this is its first time offering a conventional hybrid mid-size SUV.

    The HS Hybrid+ slots in above the MG 3 Hybrid+ light hatch and ZS Hybrid+ small SUV in the Chinese brand’s growing local lineup.
