The new MGS9 PHEV marks a major step forward for MG Motor, entering the large SUV segment with a practical seven-seat layout, generous electric range, and a strong value proposition.
Designed for families and business users alike, this plug-in hybrid combines space, efficiency, and modern technology in one versatile package.
At nearly five meters long, the MGS9 PHEV is built to handle real-world demands. Inside, three rows of seating provide flexibility for up to seven passengers, while clever packaging ensures ample head, leg, and shoulder room throughout.
Fold the third row, and the SUV reveals a substantial 1,026-liter boot, making it ideal for road trips, daily errands, or carrying bulky items. The second row’s 60:40 split and individually folding third-row seats add to the vehicle’s adaptability.
Plug-In Hybrid Powertrain with 62-Mile EV Range
Under the hood, the MGS9 PHEV features a proven plug-in hybrid system that pairs a 1.5-liter turbocharged petrol engine with a 24.7 kWh battery. This setup delivers up to 62 miles (100 km) of electric-only driving, covering most daily commutes without using fuel.
For longer journeys, a 65-liter fuel tank ensures extended range without charging concerns. CO₂ emissions are rated at just 18 g/km, making the S9 PHEV an attractive option for company car drivers and eco-conscious buyers.
Strong Performance and Towing Capability
Beyond efficiency, the MGS9 PHEV is designed for versatility. It offers a braked towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg, suitable for trailers, caravans, or boats—an important feature for buyers in this segment.
