The new MG HS SUV has achieved a remarkable double victory at the 2025 What Car? Car of the Year Awards. The MG HS PHEV was named Plug-in Hybrid of the Year, while the petrol-powered HS SE earned the title of Best Family SUV for Value.
Debuting globally at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last summer, the MG HS PHEV was recognised for its premium interior and impressive electric-only range of up to 75 miles.
"While many vehicles in this class primarily appeal as company cars, the MG HS proves that a spacious plug-in hybrid with a high-quality interior and a long electric range can also be an affordable choice for private buyers."
- The What Car? Judging Panel
Reinforcing MG’s reputation for outstanding value, the petrol-powered HS SE 1.5T—named Best Family SUV for Value—starts at just £24,995. With 30,207 sales in 2024, the MG HS became the UK’s eighth best-selling car. MG also achieved a milestone, ranking 10th in UK vehicle registrations for the first time.
"The new MG HS models were developed to raise the bar with enhanced features, distinctive MG styling, and a choice of advanced petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrains. Winning two What Car? awards is a strong endorsement for our best-selling SUV, and we’re confident this recognition will attract even more customers while reaffirming our commitment to existing owners seeking an upgrade. For families who love SUVs but want to cut running costs, the HS PHEV is an excellent option. Its high-capacity battery enables most daily commutes to be completed on electric power alone, while the efficient petrol engine and large fuel tank provide confidence for longer trips."
