New MG ZS Hybrid+ Arriving at Nathaniel MG this Autumn

MG Motor, renowned for its value-packed vehicles, has once again raised the bar with the launch of the all-new MG ZS Hybrid+.

This innovative compact SUV seamlessly combines the best aspects of electric and petrol powertrains, offering drivers an exceptional driving experience without compromising on affordability.

The big benefit is that the powertrain means drivers can seamlessly switch between smart electric performance and the power of petrol – saving money on your vehicle’s running costs while reducing your carbon footprint.

We think it’s a great choice for those who are not ready to go fully electric, or those who want to make a move away from a conventional petrol engine.

The ZS Hybrid+ also means not having to install a battery charger at home, since the battery is self-charging.

 

 

Building on the Success of the MG ZS

The 2025 MG ZS is creating a stir in the popular B-segment SUV market, appealing to drivers wanting a blend of style, practicality and affordability.

It is currently MG’s second most popular model and the ZS Hybrid+ looks set to build upon this success, offering a compelling proposition for those seeking a more eco-friendly and efficient driving option.

For potential drivers who may not understand the terminology, the ZS Hybrid+ is a self-charging hybrid. This means it doesn’t need to be plugged in to recharge – so you won’t have to buy a recharging point for your home or organise charging at a public charging station.

Instead, the car uses regenerative braking and the petrol engine to charge its battery. This setup allows for short periods of pure-electric driving – and lower fuel bills.

 

 

Expanding the MG ZS Range

With the introduction of the Hybrid+ model, the 2025 MG ZS range now caters to a diverse range of preferences.

Drivers can choose from the traditional petrol-powered ZS, the fully electric ZS EV, or the new ZS Hybrid+, ensuring there’s an option to suit every lifestyle and driving need.

However, the ZS Hybrid+ offers enhanced technology, improved comfort, and impressive performance, solidifying its position as a compelling choice in the popular compact SUV market. This is a great value for money compact SUV that’s hard to beat.

 

 

The Hybrid+ Powertrain: A Symphony of Efficiency and Performance

At the heart of the new MG ZS Hybrid+ lies a clever hybrid powertrain.

This advanced system seamlessly integrates a 1.5-litre petrol unit with an electric motor, delivering a combined output of 196 PS (145 kW) and 465 Nm of torque.

This potent combination ensures a refined and spirited driving experience, capable of accelerating from 0 to 62 mph in just 8.7 seconds. The car’s top speed is 104 mph with the power being delivered via an automatic transmission.

There are also three driving modes to suit your surroundings – Standard, Eco and Sport.

To help appreciate the differences, Eco mode is best for city driving and can allow you to go a few days without recharging the battery. Eco also offers the best fuel economy.

Standard mode offers a good balance between performance and economy, while Sport is best for when you need more power, such as mountain roads.

Plus, there are three energy regeneration modes – this is the option for selecting how you would like your battery to be recharged as you drive along.

Regenerative braking, also known as ‘regen’ braking, helps electric and hybrid cars regain kinetic energy that would otherwise be lost when braking.

The energy is then returned to the car’s battery as electricity for powering the wheels.

Regenerative braking has several advantages, such as reducing fuel consumption, extending battery life and reducing wear and tear. MG offers more details about how effective regenerative braking is and how it works.

 

Unrivalled Fuel Efficiency and Low Emissions

One of the best features of the all-new MG ZS Hybrid+ is its fuel efficiency.

Thanks to its advanced hybrid technology, the vehicle can achieve up to 55.4mpg (WLTP combined cycle), significantly reducing fuel consumption and running costs.

Also, its CO2 emissions of just 115 g/km make it an environmentally friendly choice, ideal for those seeking to minimise their carbon footprint.

Drivers will find that the electric motor will help around town to boost fuel efficiency and there’s a ‘Series’ mode that sees the engine acting as a generator.

It’s worth noting that if you are a current ZS petrol driver, then perhaps you should consider switching to the Hybrid+ because you’ll get better fuel efficiency when driving around town.

Also, one of the big attractions for many potential drivers will be the ability to travel short distances using electric-only power from the 1.83kWh battery – we explain more about the operating levels below.

A Great Value for Money Proposition

MG Motor has consistently offered exceptional value for money, and the all-new MG ZS Hybrid+ is no exception.

This is undoubtedly a modern and stylish design, the car features sleek lines, LED headlights and taillights for optimal visibility and a modern aesthetic.

The spacious interior offers an impressive and comfortable cabin to spend time in.

Starting at just £21,995 for the SE trim, the vehicle comes equipped with a generous array of features, including the impressive MG Pilot driver assistance system which includes adaptive cruise control, active emergency braking, lane keep assist and lane departure warning.

There’s also rear cross-traffic alert, blind spot detection, forward collision warning, and traffic jam assist.

The model also features a 12.3-inch touchscreen which offers a user-friendly interface, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, satellite navigation and a range of connectivity options.

Drivers also get a 7” virtual driver display which provides essential vehicle information at a glance.

The top-of-the-range Trophy trim, priced at £24,495, adds further luxury and convenience with features such as a 360-degree camera, black leather style upholstery, heated steering wheel and front seats and rear privacy glass.

The comfort and convenience features also impress with drivers getting automatic air conditioning, remote central locking, keyless entry, and a rain sensor wipers. In entry-level SE trim, the ZS Hybrid+ substantially undercuts the rival hybrid versions of the Hyundai Kona, Renault Captur and the Nissan Juke, to make it one of the best-priced hybrids currently available for British drivers.

 A Spacious and Practical Companion

The MG ZS Hybrid+ boasts a practical interior, comfortably accommodating five adults and offering ample cargo space.

Its generous dimensions and versatile design make it an ideal choice for families, commuters, and those seeking a versatile vehicle for their daily needs. There’s not only a roomy cabin – the boot size of 443 litres will meet most needs. With the rear seats folded flat, that luggage capacity grows to 1,457 litres.

A Perfect Blend of Electric and Petrol Power

For those seeking the benefits of both electric and petrol power, the MG ZS Hybrid+ offers the best of both worlds.

In urban environments, the electric motor provides a smooth and silent driving experience, reducing emissions and fuel consumption.

On longer journeys, the petrol engine kicks in to ensure a seamless and uninterrupted driving experience.

To underline the car’s technological advances, drivers will have five operating levels – all are distinct and will automatically deliver the best performance levels. They are:

 

    • EV: Run on battery power only while there’s enough charge
    • Series: Engine runs through to the generator to power the electric motor for Drive
    • Series and charge: As Series with the battery being topped-up when under low load
    • Drive and charge: Use the engine for powering the wheels and charging the battery via the generator
    • Parallel: Use both the electric motor and engine for powering the wheels.
