MG HS Secures Double Success At What Car? Awards

MG’s success with the HS model has continued after the car secured a pair of trophies from the 2025 What Car? Car of the Year Awards.

The SUV was the best-selling MG model in the UK in 2024, and eighth best seller overall, with 30,207 new cars being registered.

That sales success has now translated into success in the prestigious awards, with the car being named as both the ‘Best Family SUV for Value’ and the winner of the ‘Plug-In Hybrid of the Year’.

The PHEV version of the HS went on sale last summer having debuted at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, offering electric-only range of up to 75 miles to make it popular with both fleet and private buyers.

With the base petrol model in the range coming in at under £25,000 to undercut many of its rivals in a crowded section of the marketplace, the HS was also praised for its value with alternatives at ‘available for similar money both smaller and far less practical’.

“The new MG HS models were designed to raise the bar even higher with more equipment and functionality, distinctive MG styling setting them apart from other SUVs, as well as a choice of advanced petrol or plug-in hybrid powertrains,” MG Head of Product David Allison said.

“Two awards from the What Car? experts are a great endorsement for our best-selling MG, and we’re confident that this accolade will attract even more new customers to our brand, as well as impressing existing owners looking for an upgrade.

“The Plug-in Hybrid version offers a real alternative for families who love their SUVs but are put off by high running costs. A range of 75 miles due to the high-capacity battery means most daily commutes can easily be covered by one charge, and for longer journeys, the added security of an efficient petrol engine and large fuel tank makes it a compelling choice.”
