MG has added the HS Hybrid+ to its Argentine lineup, presenting the midsize SUV at Expo Auto Chino. It is the brand’s first locally offered model in the C-segment SUV class and joins the MG3 and ZS. The vehicle is offered in Luxury trim and went on sale through official dealers from October, priced at US$33,900.
Its hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine rated at 142 hp and 230 Nm with a 135-kW electric motor and a liquid-cooled 1.8-kWh battery. Total output is 224 hp and 340 Nm. MG quotes a 0–100 km/h time of 7.9 seconds and a top speed of 190 km/h. The system recharges while driving and does not require an external charging connection.
