MG HS PHEV – A New Era for Hybrid Mobility in Pakistan

This weekend, the PAPS Auto Show at the Lahore Expo Centre buzzed with excitement as MG Motor, the renowned British brand, introduced two remarkable models—the MG HS PHEV and the MG Cyberster. The event attracted a lively mix of car enthusiasts, industry experts, and influencers like Junaid Akram, Saheefa Jabbar, Amtul Baweja, and Suneel Manj, all eager to explore MG’s vision for the future of driving in Pakistan. Key members present included COO Amir Nazir, GM Marketing Division Asif Ahmed, and Director Ahmed Afridi.

MG HS PHEV: True Hybrid Electric

A standout moment was the debut of Pakistan’s first locally assembled plug-in hybrid electric vehicle, the MG HS PHEV. Built at MG’s CKD plant in Lahore, this vehicle represents a significant investment in sustainable driving and showcases MG’s commitment to the local automotive industry. The HS PHEV is a true hybrid electric vehicle, allowing it to be charged from an external power source in combination with regenerative charging for added range and versatility.

What sets the HS PHEV apart is its impressive fuel economy of 58.8 km/L, making it an economical choice for daily drivers. The 16.6 kWh battery provides over 50 km of pure electric range, ideal for city commutes or short trips. This means that drivers can enjoy the benefits of electric driving without the stress of running out of charge during longer journeys.

In terms of performance, the MG HS PHEV doesn’t disappoint. With 280 hp, it offers a thrilling driving experience and can accelerate from 0-100 km/h in just 7.1 seconds. This blend of power and efficiency makes it an attractive option for those who seek both performance and sustainability in their vehicle. Inside, the car exudes luxury with its Monaco Blue interior and a 12.1-inch virtual cockpit instrument cluster that puts essential information at the driver’s fingertips. Features like a panoramic sunroof and adaptive cruise control add to the comfort and safety, making every drive enjoyable.

MG Cyberster: A Glimpse into the Future of Sports Cars

MG’s other showstopper at the event was the MG Cyberster, the first electric convertible sports car of its kind. This cutting-edge vehicle combines MG’s storied roadster heritage with state-of-the-art electric technology. With 496 hp, 725 Nm of torque, and a rapid 0-100 km/h acceleration time of just 3.2 seconds, the Cyberster offers an electrifying driving experience.

Sporting a bold yellow exterior and scissor doors, the Cyberster is as striking as it is powerful. Its practical range of up to 545 km on a single charge and quick recharge time of just 38 minutes make it suitable for both daily use and long road trips. Equipped with 14 MG Pilot, driver-assistance features, including forward collision warning, traffic jam assist, and adaptive high-beam control, the Cyberster ensures a top-notch experience with safety.

Looking Ahead for Pakistan’s Automotive Landscape

MG’s launch of the HS PHEV marks an important step for the automotive scene in Pakistan. By introducing vehicles that meet global standards, MG is paving the way for a greener future. The HS PHEV not only highlights MG’s focus on innovation but also reflects a shift toward more sustainable driving options in the country.

This vehicle is part of a larger movement lead by MG, where manufacturers are increasingly investing in eco-friendly technologies. With rising fuel prices and growing environmental concerns, consumers are looking for alternatives that align with their values. The MG HS PHEV addresses this need by offering a practical solution that combines the convenience of traditional driving with the benefits of electric mobility.

As bookings are now open, the MG HS PHEV is available for pre-booking at an attractive price of PKR 2 Million. It is set to attract consumers who want a blend of luxury, technology, and environmental responsibility. This model appeals to a wide range of drivers, from eco-conscious individuals to those who simply enjoy a high-performance vehicle.

MG’s commitment to the local market is evident in its investment in the CKD plant, creating jobs and boosting the economy while also catering to the changing needs of consumers. As the automotive landscape continues to evolve, the MG HS PHEV stands out as a forward-thinking option that balances performance, efficiency, and sustainability.
