Hybrid+ versions of the HS use a 1.5-litre four-cylinder turbocharged petrol hybrid set-up that delivers 165kW and 340Nm to the front wheels, via a two-speed hybrid transmission. 

The hybrid set-up gives the HS Hybrid+ a combined fuel consumption of 5.2L/100km, which is significantly better than the 6.9L/100km in the turbo-petrol powered HS variant. 

It also produces more power than the HS, but the hybrid+ comes with a $4,000 price hike on the base model. 

The Hybrid+ will face competition in a now hotly contested hybrid mid-size SUV market.
