Engine Displacement: 1,490 cc
The heart of the MG HS PHEV is a 1.5L Turbocharged 4-cylinder engine. This GDI (Gasoline Direct Injection) unit is tuned to work in tandem with a permanent magnet synchronous motor. In the local market, this setup is highly praised for avoiding the heavy taxes associated with larger engines while providing the output of a 3.0L naturally aspirated vehicle.
Max Power: 256 hp (Combined)
With the combined efforts of the petrol engine and the electric motor, the HS PHEV generates a robust 256 hp. This power delivery is managed by an intelligent control unit that decides when to use pure electric power, pure engine power, or a combination of both for maximum thrust.
Max Torque: 370 Nm
The vehicle produces a peak combined torque of 370 Nm. Because a significant portion of this torque comes from the electric motor, it is available almost instantly from 0 RPM, allowing the heavy SUV to feel light and agile during stop-and-go traffic in cities like Lahore or Karachi.
