MG have won the ‘Plug-in Hybrid of the Year’ award with the 2026 What Car? Awards for the HS Plug-in Hybrid. This is the second year in the row they have been awarded the ‘Plug-in Hybrid of the Year’.
“The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid deserves much praise for its back-to-back successes, the PHEV sector is highly-competitive and we reviewed many new, strong contenders. But the MG HS remains our choice at What Car? due to being a practical plug-in hybrid, with a stylish interior, that long electric-only range of up to 75 miles and also remaining within the budget reach of private buyers.”
“It still sets the standard for What Car? with other cars available for similar money not attaining quite the same levels of generous space, keen running costs and practicality. The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid also holds the Best Family Hybrid SUV title from our What Car? Electric Awards.”
What Car? Editor Steve Huntingford
“The HS Plug-in Hybrid remains an extremely popular choice for UK motorists with just 8,000 cars delivered in 2025. Its electric-only range of 75 miles due to a high-capacity 24.7kWh battery is a strong selling-point as a standard, family commute can be covered with one charge… The MG HS Hybrid+, equally spacious and generously equipped, means customers also have a self-charging hybrid from MG which can achieve 51.3 MPG (WLTP combined) in addition to low CO2 emissions of 126g/km. Overall, the MG HS range of both petrol and hybrid SUVs was the UK’s 8th most popular car in 2025 with just over 30,000 sales.”
