)
MG4 EV
)
The MG4 is now one of MG’s longest-standing electric models, and it just keeps getting better with every update.
It’s a very simple and well-built little hatchback, with a well-sized 10.25-inch screen along with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone connectivity.
In our testing, we found it to have excellent handling and solid all-around visibility, with motoring expert Sam Sheehan, saying: “Visibility is one of the car's biggest strengths, and the cabin is so light and airy that you get a real sense of your surroundings. It’s a relatively small car that feels spacious.”

Rivals the Renault Megane E-Tech and VW ID.3

MG4 EV XPOWER
)
If you want to take it up a notch, an MG4 XPOWER is a great way to do it.
It takes everything that’s great about the standard ‘4’ and dials it up to 10, adding all-wheel drive, a total of 435hp and a 0-62mph time of just 3.8 seconds.
This, along with a dashing satin green paint, means it’s one seriously hot hatchback.
363-litre boot
239-mile range
Rivals the Hyundai IONIQ 5 N and CUPRA Born
)
MGS5 EV
)
The MGS5 EV signifies a new era for MG – one where its designs are evolving and its battery tech is better than ever before.
This SUV is the direct replacement for the MG ZS EV (the petrol ZS still exists), but with the aim of phasing it out and moving to this new model.
But with strong electric car credentials and a really well-thought-out interior, it’s hard to imagine an MG unlike it.
453-litre boot
298-mile range
Rivals the Kia EV3 and Škoda Elroq
MG3
 "MG3 front 3/4")
If petrol is more your thing, something like the MG3 hatchback may be more up your street.
It’s capable, practical and efficient. It comes in one SE spec to keep things simple, and is the best sort of car if you’re just after a no-frills ‘car’.
At 115hp, it’s not fast by any means, but it serves its purpose as a little runaround.
293-litre boot
46.3mpg (about 350 miles)
Rivals the Vauxhall Corsa and Peugeot 208
)
MG3 Hybrid+
 "MG3 front - Ben Welham")
The MG3 is great, but one way to step things up a notch is to add electricity into the mix.
The MG3 Hybrid+ is a proper self-charging hybrid, with up to 62.8mpg, and it uses a three-speed automatic gearbox, which isn’t very common outside of the 1960s, but works perfectly in this little car.
In our testing, we said “it’s fun to drive, easy to live with and has all the tech you could possibly want.”
And that “every time we see one on the roads, we shall wave – or at least give the driver a nod of approval.”
293-litre boot
62.8mpg (about 350 miles)
Rivals the Renault Clio E-Tech and Toyota Yaris Hybrid
MG ZS
)
The first petrol SUV on this list is the MG ZS – a great starting point for families after a solid crossover.
It’s handsome, loaded with tech and gets all the usual features you’d expect from a modern car like Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, all at a great price.
443-litre boot
43.5mpg (about 450 miles)
Rivals the Dacia Duster and Ford Puma
)
MG ZS Hybrid+
)
Adding hybridity into the mix, the MG ZS Hybrid+ is the best of both worlds, giving you a solid hybrid system with great levels of efficiency.
It has a slightly redesigned exterior compared to the petrol car, and a revived interior, which we think ties it in beautifully.
443-litre boot
55.4mpg (about 500 miles)
Rivals the Renault Captur E-Tech and Toyota Yaris Cross
MG HS
)
Moving up the range is the MG HS – a larger SUV that aims to take on the likes of Audi.
This is the purely petrol version, but there’s also the two hybrid options listed below.
The HS is the best choice if you’re after a simple petrol SUV, but you may want to pay attention to the models below, too.
507-litre boot
38.2mpg (about 460 miles)
Rivals the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan
MG HS Hybrid+
)
The Hybrid+ name is back again with the HS, meaning this is a self-charging hybrid SUV – the best combination of electricity and petrol.
This is because the car charges itself, so there’s no need to ever plug it in. Just fill it up with petrol and the car works out the rest.
It's also terrifically well-equipped, so all your family's road trips are well catered for.
507-litre boot
51.3mpg (about 500 miles)
Rivals the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid and Hyundai Tucson Hybrid
MG HS Plug-In Hybrid
)
The HS is the only car in MG’s lineup that is offered as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), which in many ways, makes it the one to have.
This is because a PHEV is one of the best combinations, offering an all-electric range and an efficient engine to fall back on when you need it.
Not only that, but the MG HS Plug-In Hybrid is massively practical (being the brand’s largest SUV), and it looks rather smart too.
507-litre boot
75-mile EV-only range
Rivals the Kia Sportage PHEV and BYD SEAL U DM-i
MG Cyberster
)
It had been a long time since MG last made a sports car – over 10 years in fact. But when it launched the Cyberster in 2024, it proved they were back in action.
This two-seater electric sports car celebrated MG’s 100-year anniversary but also helped to create a new segment in the EV market, because very few other EV sports cars existed at the time.
What are the stats, then? 510hp, AWD (or RWD), bright red paint and buttons for door handles. It really is impressive, and proof that MG is happy to experiment with electric cars.
249-litre boot
316-mile range
MG IM5
)
The IM5 is MG’s answer to the Tesla Model 3. It also belongs to the brand’s luxury ‘IM’ car arm, focusing on taking on more expensive rivals by offering superb battery technology and a luxury interior.
Not only that, it’s also quick. In its top-spec form, the IM5 has 751hp and a blistering 0-62mph time of just 3.2 seconds.
457-litre boot
441-mile range
Rivals the Tesla Model 3 and BYD SEAL
MG IM6
)
If more space is your thing, then the MG IM6 is the car for you. It’s an SUV with supercar-like performance, making it a very attractive proposition.
It's got a lot of snazzy features from ‘rainy night mode’ to help you see better in torrential rain by using cameras and sensors, to automated parking features to make fitting into those tight spaces a little easier.
665-litre boot
388-mile range
Rivals the Tesla Model Y and Polestar 3
What’s the best MG model?
All it boils down to is the simple question of ‘what’s the best MG model?’, and to be honest, there isn’t one winner.
It truly depends on what you’re after, so we’ve broken it down into categories to help.
Best for buyers on a budget – MG3 Hybrid+
Best for luxury – MG IM6
Best for performance – MG Cyberster
Best for efficiency – MG IM5
Best for families – MG HS
But each and every MG serves its own purpose and has its own place in the lineup, so the best thing we can advise is to do your research (if you’re reading this you’ve already made a great start) and see what works best for you.
