In addition to releasing the RAV4-rivaling HS PHEV SUV, MG Motors officially unveiled the 2025 MG ZS Hybrid+. Coming at a starting price of £21,995, the new ZS Hybrid+ will arrive on the UK market this October as a 2025 model year crossover. Its sibling has had a fantastic reception and is performing exceptionally well. So, by all counts the 2025 ZS Hybrid+ is a highly anticipated crossover from the MG brand. It brings a new level of eco-friendly performance to the B-SUV segment. This latest iteration seeks to build on the success of the existing hybrid ZS, which is the second best-selling model for MG in the United Kingdom. In this post, I’ll share everything I know about the 2025 MG ZS Hybrid+. Read as I dive into the features, specs, performance, and technology features.
Performance & Powertrain
Under the hood, the 2025 ZS Hybrid+ features a 1.5-liter engine with a 1.83 kWh battery pack and an electric motor. This setup delivers a combined output of 193 horsepower (144 kW / 196 PS) and 184 lb-ft (250 Nm) of torque.
Thanks to the hybridized 193-HP setup, the 2025 ZS Hybrid+ can go from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in 8.7 seconds.
MG ZS Hybrid+ Fuel Economy
One of the strongest selling points of the new ZS Hybrid SUV is the fuel consumption, which makes this SUV stand out among its competitors.
The 2025 ZS Hybrid+ has impressive fuel economy, with a WLTP combined rating of 55.4 MPG.
2025 ZS Hybrid+ Exterior Design
The ZS Hybrid+ has a distinctive and expressive front fascia design, featuring an oval grille. This unique grille is flanked by vertical air curtains. Notably, the front end of the ZS Hybrid+ has LED lighting units and rain-sensing wipers.
Moving to the side, the hybrid ZS crossover has plastic body cladding. Another feature that makes the profile view stand out is the upward-sweeping shoulder line. This gives it a dynamic and modern appearance. The ZS Hybrid+ rides on 17-inch alloy wheels.
ZS Hybrid+ Interior Design
While the exterior may be divisive, the interior of the 2025 MG ZS Hybrid+ is appealing. The interior design is minimalist, featuring black cloth seats. There is an automatic climate control system and a six-speaker audio system.
ZS Hybrid+ Infotainment System
The 2025 ZS Hybrid+ features a 12.3-inch infotainment system, which comes standard with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and GPS navigation. Sitting in the cockpit is a high-definition **7-inch digital instrument cluster, which is pleasant to look at.
