MG HS Super Hybrid 2026 review Australia: New 135km-range PHEV family SUV lines up BYD Sealion 6

Emily Agar covers the 2026 MG HS Essence Super Hybrid in this detailed family review. This flagship plug-in hybrid sits at the top of the revised mid-size SUV line-up, above the entry-level Excite grade. It offers an alternative powertrain option to sit alongside the standard internal-combustion and parallel-hybrid variants within the local range. The family-focused design features a spacious cabin layout alongside a larger boot space capacity to meet daily utility needs. Emily examines the high-specification feature set including premium interior appointments, dual-zone climate control, integrated digital displays and a comprehensive suite of safety systems. Material quality and second-row packaging are also assessed for passenger comfort. The driving impressions focus on real-world fuel efficiency, power delivery from the dual-fuel system and ride quality over urban roads. Emily evaluates the overall value equation and performance metrics of this premium grade against key segment rivals including the BYD Sealion 6, Toyota RAV4 and Mitsubishi Outlander. #MG #HS #Review -- Timecodes: 00:00 Intro 00:25 Pricing and features 01:10 Design 01:58 Practicality 04:06 Under the bonnet 04:31 Efficiency 05:42 Driving 07:41 Safety 08:14 Ownership 08:48 Verdict -- Read Emily's full review: https://bit.ly/3Qf8sPf Check out our MG HS Super Hybrid hub: https://bit.ly/4ekRqZg Find more SUVs: https://bit.ly/3QVs1X1 Visit our FamilyGuide: https://bit.ly/3BS40vC -- CarsGuide - Go beyond the test drive Visit our website for News, Reviews, Advice and more: https://www.carsguide.com.au Subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/carsguide Like our Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/carsguide.australia Follow our TikTok profile: https://www.tiktok.com/@carsguide.com.au Follow our Instagram profile: https://www.instagram.com/carsguideaus Follow our X profile: https://www.x.com/CarsGuide Follow our Threads profile: https://www.threads.net/@carsguideaus Follow our LinkedIn page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/carsguide-com-au
