MG MOTOR LAUNCHES NEW 2024 MG HS PHEV, BRAND’S FIRST PLUG-IN HYBRID IN THE MIDDLE EAST





MG Motor has announced the launch of its first plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in the Middle East, the 2024 MG HS PHEV. Presenting a low carbon emission alternative for customers in the region, the dynamic SUV is the perfect union of efficiency and performance.


Powered by MG’s 1.5-litre high efficiency turbo engine, the MG HS PHEV can cover over 64* km on its 16.6 KW electric motor alone, with the combined output of 258 horsepower helping it to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in just 6.9 seconds. It can develop maximum torque of 480Nm, is capable of hitting a top speed of 190 km/h, and is equipped with paddle shift gear change.


The MG HS PHEV boasts exceptional fuel efficiency, consuming only 1.8 litres per 100 kilometres*. This remarkable fuel consumption ensures that drivers can go farther on less fuel, reducing their overall carbon footprint. With a rating of 4.3 grams per kilometre according to the WLTP standard, this plug-in hybrid vehicle significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions compared to conventional internal combustion engine cars.


When it comes to charging, the 2024 MG HS PHEV offers convenient options for its electric motor. The charging time for a full charge is approximately 4.5 hours, allowing users to easily replenish the battery overnight or during the day. For those in need of a quick top-up, a fast charge can provide 80% battery capacity in just 35 minutes, making it suitable for on-the-go charging needs.


Building on the success of the sporty SUV, the arrival of the new 2024 MG HS PHEV and 2024 MG HS with 2.0L Turbo conventional internal combustion engine is yet another major step forward in MG Motor’s offerings, as the brand continues to expand options for car buyers across the region with its highly advanced and well-equipped range of sedans and SUVs. It joins the recently launched MG ONE, and all-new MG RX5 models in the British-born automotive brand’s rapidly expanding Middle East line-up.

With the MG HS PHEV, its sporty feel has not been compromised, where performance and comfort are balanced for our customers to get more from every journey.”
