    MG Motor Australia has announced lower national drive-away pricing for its MG HS Super Hybrid ahead of its September arrival Down Under, where the new-generation plug-in hybrid (PHEV) mid-size SUV will be priced from $50,990 drive-away until July 31, 2025.

    That means MG’s answer to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, BYD Sealion 6 and GWM Haval H6 GT – will now temporarily cost $2000 less than previously announced in entry-level Excite form.

    The same PHEV powertrain is also offered in the HS Essence, which will be $1000 cheaper than expected at $54,990 drive-away for the month of July.

    The move reduces the price premium between the equivalent petrol-only MG HS and Super Hybrid versions to $14,000, with the non-hybrid MG HS Excite unchanged at $36,990 drive-away and the Essence at $40,990 drive-away.

    The ‘Super Hybrid’ powertrain used in both variants offers a claimed 1000km of total driving range from its 55-litre fuel tank and 24.7kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. 

    Under the bonnet is a 220kW/350Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels. 

    MG will also launch the MG HS Hybrid+ – distinct from the plug-in ‘Super Hybrid’ – in the second half of 2025.

    A rival for the top-selling Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the HS Hybrid+ will have combined fuel consumption of 5.2L.100km, but MG is yet to confirm local model grades or pricing. 

    To compete with the RAV4, HS Hybrid+ vehicles will need to be priced below the Super Hybrid versions of the HS. 

    The new-generation MG HS was introduced in Australia in late 2024 – a full 12 months ahead of Super Hybrid variants – with regular versions powered by a 1.5-litre 125kW/275Nm four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. 

    The price change makes the HS Super Hybrid the same price as MG’s bigger Toyota Kluger-sized, seven-seat petrol-powered MG QS Essence – the highest model grade of the Chinese brand’s new large SUV – and $4000 more than the entry-level QS Excite.
