Although ambiguous in name, the 2022 MG HS Plus EV is a car that serves a fairly simple purpose here in Australia - popularising plug-in hybrids. Yes, that's what the 'Plus EV' moniker actually means, confusing as it sounds, but in a market that's remained averse to PHEVs - they account for just 0.6 percent of all vehicles sold in Australia in 2022 so far - this cut-price plug-in.. And finally, I'll try using it as a pure EV as much as I possibly can. But first, the car. Our MG HS + EV arrives in the Essence trim level, and it's yours for $52,690 drive-away. You can get a cheaper one, the Excite, which is $49,690 drive-away, too. Inside is a 10.1-inch central touchscreen. (image credit: Andrew Chesterton)
