In a recent evaluation by automotive experts from WhatCar?, the MG HS has been named the best plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) in the UK, with a starting price of £18,966. The MG HS was commended for its premium interior and impressive electric-only range, although it faced criticism for reliability issues and less luggage space compared to rivals. Following the MG HS, the Skoda Superb Estate secured the second position, starting at £30,771. It was praised for its practicality and comfort but noted for its 'grabby brakes' and less engaging driving experience. The Volkswagen Passat, priced from £34,990, rounded out the top three. While it was recognized for its spaciousness and cost-effectiveness as a company car, it was marked down for its driving dynamics and some reliability concerns. Overall, the MG HS stands out as an affordable option in the PHEV market.
