NEW MG HS PHEV 700 MILES COTSWOLDS BOUND IN THE HYBRID | ROAD TRIP PT 1

EV Channels Review

The MG HS PHEV Trophy is presented as a compelling option for families seeking an SUV with excellent value and impressive efficiency. The reviewer highlights the significant improvements over the previous generation, particularly the new platform which enhances handling, ride comfort, and overall refinement. The PHEV system, with its 24.7kWh battery offering around 70 miles of pure electric range, is praised for its potential to achieve high MPG figures, with expectations of around 90 MPG, and even a respectable 50 MPG when running on battery alone. The reviewer commends the spacious interior, comfortable seating, modern dual-screen infotainment system, and comprehensive safety features included in the MG Pilot suite, noting that these are standard across trims. Key omissions mentioned are the lack of a panoramic roof and heated rear seats. Despite the absence of AWD, the vehicle is deemed a strong contender for its practicality, economy, and driving dynamics, especially considering its price point.
