MG HS II 1.5T (2025): Powertrain & Real-World Utility
The MG HS II 1.5T (2025) is engineered with a 23.2 kWh gross (19.5 kWh usable) traction battery, delivering an official homologated WLTP electric range of 120 km. In real-world European driving conditions, drivers should anticipate approximately ~110 km in mild urban commuting, tapering down to around ~77 km during sub-zero motorway driving (130 km/h) due to cabin HVAC heating and aerodynamic drag. Replenishing the battery takes approximately ~5.8 hours via an 11 kW AC Wallbox (or ~10 hours from a standard 2.3 kW domestic socket).

Calculate how ambient winter temperature, 130 km/h highway speeds, terrain elevation, and cabin heating impact the MG HS II 1.5T's battery in real time.
Battery Pack vs Market
23.2 kWh gross
Equipped with a large 23.2 kWh pack (19.5 kWh net usable), the HS II 1.5T sits in the upper percentile of European plug-in hybrids, offering true zero-emission range that rivals dedicated urban EVs.
Real-World Range Expectation
While official WLTP laboratory figures state 120 km, drivers should anticipate approximately ~110 km in temperate urban commutes, and around ~77 km during sub-zero motorway trips with cabin heating.
Charging Infrastructure
3.6 kW AC Onboard
A standard 11/22 kW home wallbox will replenish the pack in approximately ~5.8 hours. Fast DC charging is not equipped on this model, meaning charging is best suited for overnight domestic wallboxes or workplace destination chargers.
| Specification | Official Homologated Value | European Segment Context |
|---|---|---|
| WLTP Electric Range | 120 km | Exceptional (100+ km) |
| Battery Capacity | 23.2 kWh gross (19.5 kWh net) | Above European Market Average |
| Total System Power | 299 HP | Balanced Daily Performance |
| Charging Capabilities | 3.6 kW AC (AC Only) | Domestic / Workplace AC |
| CO₂ Emissions & Fuel Consumption | 12 g/km • 0.5 L/100km | Euro 6e-bis Compliant |
Daily Commute & Efficiency Verdict: For European motorists with typical round-trip daily commutes of ~30–40 km, the MG HS II 1.5T's 120 km electric range can comfortably cover ~3.5 days of routine driving on pure electricity before triggering the combustion engine.
Euro 6e-bis & Corporate Fleet Impact: With an official rating of 12 g/km CO₂ and 0.5 L/100km fuel consumption, this vehicle benefits from competitive tax brackets across major European markets. Under revised 2026/2027 Euro 6e-bis Utility Factor calculations, high electric range models like this retain substantially lower Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) and company car tax liabilities compared to older generation PHEVs.
Euro 6e-bis & Company Car (BiK) Tax Impact
With 120 km electric range and 12 g/km CO₂, this model qualifies for an estimated UK BiK rate of 5% (Low). Its high electric range cushions against upcoming EU Utility Factor calculation increases.

Updated: October 2026 • Verified by PHEVs.eu Technical TeamMG HS II 1.5T: Home Charging Times & Battery Warranty Guide
Factual charging durations (domestic socket & Wallbox), European high-voltage battery warranty terms, and degradation expectations.
With its 23.2 kWh gross (19.5 kWh usable) battery, charging the MG HS II 1.5T from a standard domestic socket (2.3 kW / 10A Schuko or 3-pin) takes approximately 9.8 hours. Installing a dedicated 3.6 kW home AC Wallbox reduces this to roughly 5.4 hours. The vehicle uses AC charging exclusively, which is ideal for cost-effective overnight domestic recharging. Charging overnight on off-peak electricity tariffs yields up to 70% running cost savings compared to petrol.
