The HS was introduced as a replacement for the forgotten GS, and is MG's entry into the fiercely competitive mid-sized SUV segment. While the smaller ZS is offered with an electric powertrain, the HS has an available plug-in hybrid, called the Plus EV, as well as a turbocharged all-wheel drive powertrain.
