MG HS Hybrid+ vs Super Hybrid: Which One to Book in Pakistan

· 0 Views · 6 min read

MG HS Hybrid+ vs Super Hybrid in Pakistan

The short answer: book the MG HS Hybrid+ unless you can charge at home almost every night. On Autowheels' MG catalogue the Hybrid+ is Rs 9,499,000 and the Super Hybrid plug-in is Rs 10,199,000 ex-factory. The two cars have the same 1.5-litre turbo engine, the same body and almost the same equipment. The extra money buys a 24.7 kWh battery, up to 135 km of electric range (NEDC) and more power. That only pays back if you plug in regularly and drive mostly short daily distances.

MG HS Hybrid+ vs Super Hybrid prices

VariantTypeEx-factory price (Rs)
MG HS Hybrid+Self-charging hybrid (HEV)9,499,000
MG HS Super HybridPlug-in hybrid (PHEV)10,199,000

These are the prices on our MG HS page, checked on 13 October 2026. On these figures the Super Hybrid costs Rs 700,000 more. MG Pakistan does not publish a price list on its website, and since the hybrid sales tax change in September some dealers have been quoting a higher Hybrid+ price of around Rs 9.999 million. If that is the price you are quoted, the gap shrinks to about Rs 200,000, and that changes the maths below. MG has not confirmed a new price, which we covered in our hybrid car prices after 18% GST report. Ask the dealer for both prices in writing, and ask whether the price is fixed at booking or at delivery.

Ex-factory prices exclude freight, withholding tax, insurance and registration. MG Pakistan also lists the older MG HS PHEV, which Autowheels shows at Rs 9,899,000. It is a different, first-generation plug-in, so do not confuse it with the new Super Hybrid.

What is the same, and what is different

MG Pakistan's own spec sheets show the two cars are nearly identical apart from the battery and motor.

Equipment is effectively the same. Both get 19-inch wheels, an electric panoramic sunroof, twin 12.3-inch screens, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera, heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, seven airbags (including a far-side airbag) and the full MG Pilot driver-assist suite: adaptive cruise, emergency braking, lane keep and blind-spot detection. You are not paying for more features with the Super Hybrid. You are paying for the battery.

One small point matters on Pakistani roads: the Hybrid+ carries a space-saver spare, while the Super Hybrid has only a repair kit because the battery takes the space. If you drive between cities a lot, budget for a spare and check where it can be carried.

Warranty

MG Pakistan gives both cars a 5-year or 150,000 km vehicle warranty and an 8-year or 150,000 km high-voltage battery warranty, whichever comes first. There is no warranty reason to choose one over the other.

Running costs: when charging pays off

Petrol is Rs 395.37 a litre from 13 October 2026 (see today's fuel prices in Pakistan). MG has not published Pakistan fuel economy figures for either car, so the numbers below are an Autowheels illustration with stated assumptions. Use your own figures.

  • Hybrid+ on petrol: at an assumed 15 km a litre in mixed driving, it costs about Rs 26 a km.
  • Super Hybrid on electricity: a full 24.7 kWh charge plus about 10% charging loss is roughly 27 units. At Rs 60 a unit that is about Rs 1,630. Over an assumed real-world 90 km (well under the 135 km NEDC claim), that is about Rs 18 a km. At Rs 40 a unit (off-peak or solar), it falls to about Rs 12 a km.
  • Super Hybrid with a flat battery: it runs as a normal hybrid, but it carries a much heavier battery, so expect it to use a little more petrol than the Hybrid+.
Price gapSaving per electric kmElectric km to pay back the gap
Rs 700,000 (catalogue prices)About Rs 8 (Rs 60 a unit)About 85,000 km
Rs 700,000 (catalogue prices)About Rs 14 (Rs 40 a unit)About 50,000 km
Rs 200,000 (if Hybrid+ is quoted at Rs 9.999m)About Rs 8 (Rs 60 a unit)About 25,000 km
Rs 200,000 (if Hybrid+ is quoted at Rs 9.999m)About Rs 14 (Rs 40 a unit)About 14,000 km

The takeaway: at catalogue prices the Super Hybrid needs years of daily plug-in driving to earn back its premium, because the Hybrid+ is already cheap to run. If the real gap at your dealer is closer to Rs 200,000, and you have cheap home or solar charging, the Super Hybrid can pay back within two or three years of commuting. Without a charger at home, it never pays back.

Charging in Pakistan, in practice

  • Home charging is the whole case. MG quotes about 7.5 hours on the portable charger, so an overnight charge works on a properly wired, earthed socket. A 7 kW wall charger cuts it to about 4 hours.
  • Load-shedding and tariffs matter. Plan charging around your feeder's schedule and peak-hour rates. A house with rooftop solar gets the best value from the Super Hybrid.
  • Flats and shared parking make regular charging hard. If you cannot plug in at night, choose the Hybrid+.

Who should book which

Book the HS Hybrid+ if

  • You cannot charge at home or at work every day.
  • You drive long intercity distances often, where a plug-in runs as a normal hybrid anyway.
  • You want the lower price and a proper spare tyre.

Book the HS Super Hybrid if

  • You have a driveway or garage with reliable power, ideally solar or a cheap off-peak rate.
  • Your daily driving is mostly within city limits, so most days can run on electricity alone.
  • You want the extra performance: 220 kW against 165 kW, plus 9 mm more ground clearance.
  • Your dealer's real price gap is close to Rs 200,000 rather than Rs 700,000.

Verdict

For most Pakistani families the MG HS Hybrid+ is the smarter booking. It has the same engine, body, cabin and safety kit as the Super Hybrid, never needs a plug, and costs less. The Super Hybrid is the better car only for buyers who will charge it at home nearly every day. For them it brings much more power, near-silent electric commuting and, if the dealer gap is small, real savings. Get both prices in writing before you decide.
