MG has expanded its electric vehicle lineup with the introduction of the ZS Hybrid+. This new B-SUV builds upon the success of the existing ZS model, which has proven to be a popular choice for UK consumers.
The ZS Hybrid+ boasts a powerful and efficient drivetrain. Under the hood, it features a 1.5-liter engine paired with a 1.83 kWh battery pack and an electric motor. This combination delivers a combined output of 193 horsepower, allowing the crossover to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.7 seconds. The ZS Hybrid+ also offers impressive fuel economy, with a WLTP combined rating of 55.4 mpg.

The exterior design of the ZS Hybrid+ is characterized by its expressive front fascia, featuring an oval grille flanked by vertical air curtains and LED lighting units. The crossover also features plastic body cladding, an upward sweeping shoulder line, and 17-inch alloy wheels. While the overall styling may be subjective, the ZS Hybrid+ certainly makes a visual statement.
Inside, the ZS Hybrid+ offers a modern and upscale cabin. Although specific details are limited, MG has confirmed that the model includes a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 12.3-inch infotainment system with GPS navigation, Android Auto, and Apple CarPlay. Other features include an automatic climate control system, a six-speaker audio system, and black cloth seats.
Safety is a priority in the ZS Hybrid+, with the MG Pilot suite of driver assistance systems coming standard. These features include adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, lane departure warning, active emergency braking, blind spot detection, forward collision warning, rear cross traffic alert, and traffic jam assist.
For those seeking a more luxurious experience, the ZS Hybrid+ Trophy trim is available for an additional £2,500. This premium variant offers features such as privacy glass, a surround view camera, larger 18-inch wheels, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, a power driver's seat, and leather-style upholstery.
The MG ZS Hybrid+ is expected to arrive in the United Kingdom in October 2024, with a starting price of £21,995. With its combination of style, performance, and eco-friendliness, the ZS Hybrid+ is poised to make a significant impact in the competitive B-SUV segment.
