Zeekr X (awd) vs MG Hs Super Hybrid

What's the difference?

Zeekr is a new electric brand and the X small SUV is one of its first cars to come to Australia.

Owned by the Chinese carmaker Geely, which also has a big stake in Volvo, the X is designed in Sweden, built in China and now sold here.

Rivals to this little electric SUV include the Smart #1, Volvo EX30 and Xpeng G6.

The Zeekr X line-up is currently very simple - there’s the rear-wheel drive version and the all-wheel drive we tested. 

Being a mid-size SUV means the MG HS Super Hybrid is placed in one of Australia’s most competitive segments. 

The flagship Essence plug-in hybrid pairs family-friendly size with an efficient powertrain, promising efficiency without asking you to fully commit to electric life.

But when you’re up against some solid all-rounders in the market… does it do enough to earn a spot on your shortlist?
