Back-to-Back Glory as WLMG MG Celebrates ‘Plug-In Hybrid of the Year’ Win for MG HS​

WLMG MG is proud to announce that the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid has once again been crowned ‘Plug-In Hybrid of the Year’ at the prestigious 2026 What Car? Car of the Year Awards. This marks the second consecutive year the family-favourite SUV has dominated its category, reinforcing its position as the benchmark for the UK’s competitive PHEV market.

With showrooms in both Eastcote and Reading, WLMG has seen firsthand why the HS remains a top choice for local drivers, offering a blend of premium interior styling, expansive practical space, and an impressive electric-only range of up to 75 miles.

Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car?, praised the model's consistency:

"The MG HS Plug-in Hybrid deserves much praise for its back-to-back successes... it remains our choice due to being a practical plug-in hybrid, with a stylish interior, that long electric-only range... and also remaining within the budget reach of private buyers."

Why Local Drivers are Choosing the MG HS at WLMG

In 2025, the MG HS range secured its place as the 8th most popular car in the UK, with over 30,000 sales. The success is driven by its high-capacity 24.7kWh battery, which allows many owners in Middlesex and Berkshire to complete their daily commute entirely on electric power.

For those not yet ready to plug in, WLMG also offers the MG HS Hybrid+. This self-charging alternative delivers a spacious, tech-heavy experience with a combined 51.3 MPG and low $CO_2$ emissions of just 126g/km.

Experience the Award-Winner at WLMG

As a family-owned business established in 1996, WLMG is "Famous for Keeping Our Promises." We invite drivers across Eastcote, Reading, and the surrounding areas to experience the award-winning HS range for themselves

David Allison, Director of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK, added:

"The HS Plug-in Hybrid remains an extremely popular choice... its electric-only range is a strong selling-point as a standard family commute can be covered with one charge."
