Hyundai Tucson Hybrid VS MG HS PHEV: A Quick Comparison

The much-anticipated 4th-generation Hyundai Tucson Hybrid has officially launched in Pakistan, marking a major upgrade from the outgoing model that debuted in 2020. Available in two variants—FWD priced at Rs. 10,999,000 and AWD Signature priced at Rs. 11,999,000—the new Tucson enters a competitive hybrid SUV market already stirred by the MG HS PHEV, which comes in at a more affordable Rs. 9,499,000.

A Radical Redesign

This new Tucson is more than just an update—it’s a complete transformation. From the bold, muscular front to the sleek rear design, Hyundai has left no stone unturned. The interior is fully revamped, with premium materials and technology-driven features like a 12.3″ integrated display, head-up display, ventilated seats, and more—placing it firmly in the modern SUV category.

Hyundai Tucson Hybrid vs. MG HS PHEV: Key Specs

While both vehicles cater to the 5-seater hybrid SUV segment, their offerings differ significantly. The MG HS PHEV, as a plug-in hybrid, delivers better electric-only range (52 km) and boasts higher power (260 HP) and torque (370 Nm) figures compared to Tucson’s 232 HP and 367 Nm.

However, Tucson fights back with:

• All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system versus MG’s Front-Wheel Drive (FWD),
• Superior ground clearance (181mm vs. 175mm),
• Larger wheelbase and wheel size,
• Premium creature comforts like ventilated and memory seats, heated steering wheel, and Blind Spot View Monitor (BVM).

Both models offer Android Auto & Apple CarPlay, panoramic sunroof, ADAS, and 6 airbags—making them neck-and-neck in safety and tech.
