The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid has once again been recognised by the judges at the What Car? Car of the Year Awards, reinforcing its position as one of the most talked-about plug-in hybrid SUVs on sale in the UK.
At the 2026 What Car? Awards, the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid was named Plug-in Hybrid of the Year for the second year running. The awards are widely regarded as one of the most respected benchmarks in the automotive industry, with vehicles assessed over thousands of miles of real-world testing.
According to the What Car? judging panel, the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid stood out in a highly competitive segment thanks to its combination of practicality, interior design and everyday usability. The model has also previously secured recognition as Best Family Hybrid SUV at the What Car? Electric Awards.
A key highlight of the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is its electric-only driving capability. With an electric range of up to 75 miles (WLTP), many daily journeys and commutes can be completed using electric power alone, depending on driving style and conditions.
This flexibility allows drivers to benefit from electric driving for shorter trips while retaining the reassurance of a petrol engine for longer journeys. The result is a plug-in hybrid SUV that fits comfortably into a wide range of driving routines.
The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid has continued to prove popular with UK motorists. More than 8,000 examples were delivered in 2025 alone, contributing to the MG HS range becoming one of the UK’s most popular SUVs overall.
Alongside the plug-in hybrid, the wider MG HS line-up also includes petrol and hybrid options, giving customers the flexibility to choose a powertrain that best suits their needs.
With back-to-back What Car? awards and strong uptake across the UK, the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid continues to attract attention from drivers exploring electrified SUV options. Its balance of electric range, space and accessibility has helped it stand out in an increasingly busy plug-in hybrid market.
