One of the key highlights of the global-spec model is its claimed electric-only driving range of up to 100 km (WLTP)on a full charge. The plug-in hybrid system also incorporates a two-speed transmission and a 110 kW generator, designed to improve efficiency across different driving conditions.
In terms of safety, the global model is equipped with 13 Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS), seven airbags, and a 360-degree camera. Other equipment includes dual 12.3-inch digital displays, wireless smartphone charging, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, multiple USB charging ports, and hands-free tailgate access.
The MG HS PHEV also offers a spacious cabin with seating for five occupants. Rear passengers benefit from generous legroom, while the luggage compartment provides 507 litres of cargo capacity. The cabin further features 19 storage compartments and ISOFIX child-seat mounting points.
