The offensive of the Chinese brand MG Motors in Poland is in full swing – the new MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is making its debut in showrooms. The hybrid novelty is 4670 mm long, 1890 mm wide and 1664 mm high, and its wheelbase is 2765 mm. So we are talking about a car slightly larger than the Toyota RAV4 and slightly smaller than the Skoda Kodiaq, i.e. two models of popular brands, from which the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is noticeably more powerful and cheaper.
The new MG HS Plug-in Hybrid is powered by a powerful hybrid. The 1.5 Turbo petrol engine with 143 HP and 230 Nm works with an electric unit with 183 HP and 340 Nm. The total power of the entire drive system is 339 HP and 365 Nm, which in combination with the automatic transmission allows you to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds. The maximum speed has been electronically limited to 200 km/h.
