- In this video. I take a look at a 2021 MG HS Plug in Hybrid Exclusive SUV! The largest car in MG's current range of vehicles. Is it a sensible family car? In this video, we find out!
A large thank you goes out once again to MG Motor UK and Joseph Lloyd for making this happen!

Thanks so much for your review am really excited as am going to be getting a MG HS and am trying to decide which type of engine to get so seeing your reviews on MG cars is really really helpful 👍🏻🥰
Thank you! Hope you managed to pick!
Nice to see you with one of these, impressive SUV and rather rapid too, well priced and equipped, thank you Jake
It is a seriously impressive bit of kit. A lot of info to remember too being Hybrid! It's a good all round car for the money.
Great review 👍
MG really have done well making these looks as good as anything else in the sector and the interior design and quality is impressive..I'm with you on that touch screen though, it looks like a few manufacturers are starting to learn that we still like physical switchgear for certain functions.
Ten speed auto seems overkill. Especially when you consider an Artic tends to have a 12 speed auto these days and a rigid truck typically an eight speed transmission.
They have done well with the design front! It's a good all round set up. I'm glad that MG have the screen shortcut buttons to press. I'm not anti screen, they have their place but a button is just easier whilst on the move. 10 speed does sound overkill but it is 6 speed petrol and 4 speed electric so that 10 speed is combined (it is very complicated electronic wizardry)
Superb, Mr Bill! Spacious, well equipped and swift. I enjoyed the 1,100 miles I spent with the car earlier this month, although I found the fuel economy on the motorway a bit disappointing. Around town was a bit better, especially if one can run it regularly in EV only mode.
Thank you Joseph! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed your time with the HS Hybrid! I found EV mode very impressive as you know!
@@FuelPower , plenty of power in EV mode, even in silence when necessary!
Hello. Would you be able to tell me the average fuel economy you were getting on the motorway? I'll be doing around 140 miles round trip motorway only about once a week and my current car does around 31 mpg. I wonder how HS PHEV compares to that. Very hard to find that detail online. Thanks!
@@eskimoundercover , have a look at the three videos on my channel I did in September on this car. That should answer your questions in exquisite detail...
@@lloydvehicleconsulting Thanks. That helped a lot. I guess the results will be vastly different depending on the style of driving and the temperature. But I'd take 43 mpg for a mix of motorway and city driving any day over what I'm getting now. Cheers :)
Everything about looks like a 2016 mazda cx5? I know I have one. Are they the same desgin?
Hi.... so you start the car in petrol mode... can you drive it solely in electric... I do lots of 5-10 mile journeys and this car might be the one ... looks great... thx
The MG HS Hybrid has up to 32 miles of range on electric mode so for a 5-10 mile journey, it should easily keep you going and then when the electricity runs out, you have a petrol back up.
If you don't have the heating on or climate control, you don't have to start the ICE just select EV mode and you should run on purely electric.
Hi, can anyone tell me what the average fuel economy is if you just run it on fuel (not charged) please?
@@mikebrook8500 about 9litres per 100km
We have the HS excite petrol in that exact same shade of red. It's called Farringdon red
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
@@FuelPower we love it:-)
How does the ev work when you put it on
There is a button on the centre console to get it in EV mode, then drive as you would a normal car!
When will MG produce an AS Plug in Hybrid?
As far as we know, there isn't anything on the cards at the moment.
what was the real world mpg ?
It depends on where and when you are driving but probably only 2mpg less than what is specified by the dealer
Mine charges in just over 2 hours
Are they REAL leather seats?
Yes but only on the exclusive model.
Thanks. Lack of tinted glass very disappointing. And failure of PHEV is no heating without engine running! Expensive service costs. Would make a great EV. Cheers.
You're very welcome!
I keep my MGB 1970
Frankly the plug in concept is a con. The car isn't a proper hybrid. It's actually a petrol car that lugs around heavy batteries. Or it's an electric car that has very little range for driving any distance. And then a 5 hour wait time to fully recharge. A Prius can be driven continually and cover 1000k in the day and it will use a fraction of the fuel! Its little better than an electric milk cart!
The MG HS in petrol form is much cheaper and all round is a much better car for travelling any sort of distance. Having driven the petrol version I was really impressed.
Good to know you have found a car that you like! We just like to show a variation of the market so that people can make an informed judgement based on their personal situation. Thank you for joining us and we hope we share a car that you like soon!
Bought one (NZ). Daily commute is 55km, so mostly on EV every day. Currently averaging 1.6 L/100km, which will only get lower. Irregular long trips will lift it and I think it’ll probably do 6.5-7L/100km in that scenario. Fine with us. Filled up the tank three weeks ago and still above 3/4 tank. Love that.
Hugh,
You have totally missed the point of a PHEV. I had an Outlander PHEV a few years ago and in 6 months I filled the petrol tank TWICE!!
On mainly town driving you hardly ever use the petrol engine.
Overall driving you can get nearly 100MPG
Charging. What is the problem with how long it takes? charge it over night and HEAT IT while you sleep for a nice toasty car on a cold morning.
Mike Brook, if anybody buys this car and doesn't charge it they are total numpties. They will only get about 50 mpg. (still not bad for a 2 ton brick) but they will be wasting money. If they don't charge it they may as well buy an ICE HS.
CHANGE A BULB????What are you on about? Do your homework. Exclusive has LED lights. IF and WHEN they fail, it is garage only replacement, but they should last the life of the car.
And you can open the boot with the key!
Everyday's an opportunity to learn something new Colin 👍 thanks
