As more and more Chinese brands reach our shores, MG was the first to claim success. The former British company, now under SAIC’s control, has brought high-quality products at great prices to the Old Continent. Its continuous new releases and improvements have helped it gain prominence. Now, its three best-selling models—MG3, MG ZS, and MG HS—have received a new update.
MG has focused on improving performance and equipment. The MG3 and ZS feature an oil-cooled electric motor and a more powerful generator. Accompanying them is the MG HS, the brand’s mid-size SUV, which this time comes with additional equipment. Its launch joins other important models that MG has added to its lineup, such as the MG4 Urban or the largest plug-in hybrid SUV, the MGS9 PHEV.
More sustained power with the same output
The electric drive motor switches from water cooling to oil cooling, and the generator now provides 33% more continuous power. Together, the torque the system can maintain sustainably increases by 25%. MG has also revised the software that coordinates the gasoline engine with the electric one.
Continuous power refers not to the peak output but to the level the system can sustain for extended periods without overheating. That’s why the brand claims up to 50% more power delivery in situations like uphill driving, along with a more immediate response when accelerating and reduced noise and vibration. This is an improvement that many customers have been asking for from the brand for a long time.
A hybrid system that relies on the electric component
The foundation of the Hybrid+ system remains unchanged: it combines a 1.5-liter four-cylinder gasoline engine with 101 HP, an electric motor with 139 HP, a generator, and a 1.83 kWh battery. The combined power output reaches 197 horsepower, which is delivered to the wheels via a three-speed automatic transmission developed by MG itself. It can operate in pure electric mode, in series (where the gasoline engine only generates electricity), with direct drive from the thermal engine to the wheels, or in parallel, with both engines pushing simultaneously.
Additional features for all three models
In the MG3, only the interiors are changed. The MG ZS also updates its interiors and includes a wireless phone charger, a 360-degree camera, and rear parking sensors as standard in the Comfort and Luxury trims, while the Luxury trim adds an electric rear door and a sunroof that can be opened.
The MG HS already offers heated front seats and steering wheel, a 360-degree camera, and a wireless charger in the Comfort trim. The Luxury level adds ventilated front seats and a sunroof, and the lineup introduces an optional red and black interior.
Prices are now available
In Spain, MG has been selling the updates for the MG3 and ZS since September and October under the MY26.5 designation, as previously announced with the MG3 Hybrid+. The new MG3 Hybrid+ is now available at a price of 20,840 euros, without any discounts. Similarly, the updated MG ZS Hybrid+ is priced at 23,840 euros, with no promotions offered. The HS model follows a different approach: the Comfort trim is available at a minimum of 33,840 euros (without discounts) for the ECO-rated hybrid version. The Luxury+ trim raises the minimum price to 39,090 euros. The cheapest plug-in hybrid HS model remains at 37,340 euros, excluding any promotions or government subsidies.
