Australian new car market continues to shift in October 2024.

Massive MG safety recall.

Two premium electric MGs from China have achieved five-star safety ratings from the Australasian New Car Assessment Program (ANCAP).

Australians have been obsessed with SUVs for over a decade, but there are signs the infatuation is coming to an end and you can put it down to electric cars.

European media is today publishing what outlets are calling the first photos of the incoming MG S6 electric car, but the Australian government has had images of the mid-size SUV for some time.

Pricing and specifications for MG's latest hybrid SUV have been announced. The 2026 MG HS Hybrid+ offers a more affordable plugless hybrid alternative to the range-topping Super Hybrid PHEV. It starts from $40,990 (before on-road costs) for the entry level Excite variant, while the Essence variant starts at $44,990.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.19-inch alloy wheelsLeather gear shifterSatellite navigationKeyless entry and start12.3-inch touchscreen display12.3-inch driver information displayApple CarPlay and Android AutoReverse camera6-speaker audio systemFront fog lightsSunglasses boxPanoramic sunroofFront parking sensorsHeated side mirrorsHeated front seatsPower and sensor operated tailgate8-speaker audio system360-degree cameraWireless phone chargerDual zone climate control The 2026 MG HS Hybrid+ is yet to be crash tested. Standard safety features on Excite grade: 7 airbagsLane change assistLane keep assistEmergency auto brakingAdaptive cruise controlBlind spot detectionLane departure warningSpeed limit assistPedestrian warning assistThe 2026 MG HS Hybrid+ comes with a 10-year warranty, conditional on servicing at MG dealerships, with roadside assist also topped up with each visit.

Due by the middle of next year, the GWM Haval Jolion will undergo a significant transformation to improve and update a number of shortfalls to bring it up to class standards against the best-selling Hyundai Kona, MG S5 and Chery Tiggo 4.
