Overview
- MG has launched the MGS9 plug-in hybrid as its first seven-seat SUV in the UK, with orders open now and first showroom arrivals due later this year.
- The powertrain pairs a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine with an electric motor for up to 62 miles of electric-only driving, with outlets reporting either a 24.7 kWh total or 23.2 kWh usable battery capacity.
- Packaging focuses on family practicality with seating for seven, 332 litres of cargo space with all seats in place, and more than 1,000 litres with the third row folded.
- Generous standard equipment includes twin 12.3-inch displays, a 12-speaker Bose audio system, a panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated massage front seats, and tri-zone climate control.
- Safety credentials include a five-star Euro NCAP rating and up to 16 driver-assistance features, as the model undercuts pricier large-SUV rivals such as VW’s Tayron and Skoda’s Kodiaq PHEV.
