MG Motor Australia has announced local pricing for the upcoming MG HS Hybrid+ mid-size SUV, which goes on sale in September. Priced from $42,990 drive away, the HS Hybrid+ will undercut the big-selling Toyota RAV4 and feature significantly more standard equipment at the entry point of the range.

Undercutting the most affordable RAV4 in GX trim by between $1800 to $4500 – depending on location – the HS Hybrid+ in entry-level Excite form is about $2400 to $3700 more expensive than an equivalent petrol HS Excite. Above the Excite sits the top-spec Essence, which is priced at $46,990 drive away.

Both HS Hybrid+ models undercut the plug-in hybrid HS Super Hybrid, which is priced from $50,990 drive away for the Excite and $54,990 drive away for the Essence.

The HS Hybrid+ uses a 105kW/230Nm turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and 146kW/340Nm electric motor for combined 165kW/340Nm outputs. Featuring a 1.83kWh battery, the HS Hybrid+ uses a claimed 5.2L/100km on the combined cycle, with claimed CO2 emissions of 119g/km. 

Similar to the hybrid system in the smaller ZS Hybrid+ and MG3 Hybrid+, the HS Hybrid+’s system differs by featuring a turbocharger for the engine and a more powerful electric motor.
