Reluctant sale of our MG HS Plug in Hybrid. Features & Highlights - 12 months MOT - Plug in Hybrid vehicle - 360 degree Camera - Android Auto/Apple Car Play - Air Conditioning & Climate Control - Satnav & 10" Touchscreen Details Rather than start with a brand-new powertrain, MG has sensibly decided to use the regular HS's 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine as its base, while combining it with a 90kW electric motor. A 10-speed automatic gearbox is also used, with power being delivered just to the front wheels. With 254bhp and 370Nm on tap, it is able to reach 0-60mph in just 6.9 seconds and head on to a top speed of 118mph. A 16.6kWh battery is also used, which allows for up to 32 miles of electric driving once the battery is fully charged. Do so regularly - and complete the majority of journeys on electricity - and there's scope for impressively low running costs. MG claims it will return 155.8mpg, while CO2 emissions of 43g/km put it in an affordable company car tax bracket of 11 per cent. As for charging, the battery can be topped up to full in three hours using a 7kW wallbox, or seven hours with a standard three-pin socket. MG might be known as being more of a budget brand, but the HS's cabin really helps to shrug off those views. It genuinely feels upmarket, with plush materials used alongside a very generous equipment list. There's a great screen that serves as the digital dials, though the main 10-inch touchscreen is a bit slow and distracting to use on the move. It's also a roomy choice that could be a great option for families, with the boot measuring 448 litres, while underfloor storage lets you keep the charging cables out of the way. Rear space is also plentiful, with adults still having a good amount of room in the back. Standard equipment on the HS is also very generous, with even the 'entry-level' Excite model coming with 18-inch alloy wheels, a 10-inch touchscreen with satellite navigation and a 360-degree camera system.
