MG Motor UK has earned a prestigious accolade with the All-New MG ZS Hybrid+ being named the ‘Best Hybrid Car’ in the 2025 Carbuyer Awards. As the eagerly awaited model hits UK showrooms, it promises to redefine the family SUV market with its combination of hybrid efficiency, affordability, and an impressive suite of premium features.
A Game-Changer in Hybrid Technology and Affordability
At the heart of the MG ZS Hybrid+ is a fully hybrid powertrain that seamlessly combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor. Producing 197bhp while delivering up to 55.4mpg, the vehicle strikes an ideal balance between performance and fuel efficiency, making it a perfect choice for eco-conscious families. Priced from just £24,495, it undercuts many of its competitors while offering the same—if not more—features and capabilities.
Paul Barker, Editor of Carbuyer, praised the ZS Hybrid+ for being an exceptional value proposition: “The MG ZS Hybrid+ could be the best value car on sale right now, because it offers generous SUV proportions and a fully hybrid powertrain for around £22,000. With 197bhp and offering up to 55.4mpg, it’s an impressive engine, and standard kit includes a 12.3-inch touchscreen and MG Pilot driving aids. At less than £25,000, the Trophy trim still well undercuts most rivals, yet gets leather-style upholstery, heated seats and steering wheel, and a 360-degree camera. What’s not to like?”
Topping the Charts with Premium Features
The MG ZS Hybrid+ comes in two trims, with the Trophy trim standing out for its extensive list of features at a price point of under £25,000. Buyers will appreciate luxuries like leather-style upholstery, heated seats and steering wheel, a 12.3-inch touchscreen, and a 360-degree camera—all typically found in far more expensive SUVs. The vehicle also boasts MG Pilot, an advanced driver assistance system, offering safety features such as adaptive cruise control, emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, lane keep assist, and blind spot detection.
David Allison, Head of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK, expressed pride in the recognition: “Receiving the ‘Best Hybrid Car’ award from Carbuyer is a great achievement for the MG team. The ZS Hybrid+ reflects our focus on delivering a high-quality, affordable vehicle that meets the needs of modern drivers. With its spacious design, efficient hybrid technology, and extensive features, we believe it truly represents the future of family-friendly SUVs.”
A Family SUV That Excels in Efficiency and Safety
With the arrival of the MG ZS Hybrid+ in UK showrooms, families have a new hybrid option that doesn’t compromise on style or capability. The powerful hybrid setup provides ample performance for day-to-day driving while ensuring long-range efficiency, making it an excellent option for families looking to reduce their environmental footprint.
MG Motor UK’s success in the 2025 Carbuyer Awards further underscores the brand’s commitment to delivering high-quality, innovative vehicles at an accessible price point. The MG ZS Hybrid+ is a standout choice for families who demand premium features, eco-friendly technology, and uncompromising safety, all wrapped up in a stylish and affordable package.
