MG HS SUPER HYBRID 2025 REVIEW AUSTRALIA

EV Channels Review

The MG HS Super Hybrid PHEV presents a compelling package for Australian families seeking significant EV range in an SUV. The reviewer highlights its impressive claimed 120km WLTP EV range, which was validated in real-world testing, achieving 101km before the petrol engine engaged. The interior is praised for its spaciousness and decent quality, though the cloth trim in the pre-production model might be less practical for parents than the potential fake leather in the final version. Positives include a comfortable and roomy rear seat, a smart hybrid powertrain management system, and a substantial 10-year/250,000km warranty with 10 years of roadside assistance. However, the ride is noted as firm, potentially uncomfortable on rough roads, and the brake pedal feel is described as slightly "airy." The lack of a spare tire and the absence of DC charging capability for the PHEV system are also drawbacks. The reviewer also points out the fingerprint-prone steering wheel controls and the wired Apple CarPlay/Android Auto as minor annoyances. Despite these points, the MG HS Super Hybrid is positioned as a strong contender, especially when considering its extensive EV range and warranty.
