MG S9 Plug-In Hybrid Breaks Cover As New 7-Seater SUV With Electric Power

MG has announced its latest plug-in hybrid electric SUV, called the S9 in the UK. The car is a seven-seater and marks MG’s first three-row plug-in hybrid electric vehicle globally. The car features a petrol engine and an electric motor to enable electric-only running as well as long-distance running capabilities. For Indian buyers who are observing the rapid expansion of electric SUVs in the country, MG’s S9 plug-in hybrid electric SUV marks its entry into the large family SUV space currently occupied by diesel-powered vehicles. The car is said to be placed higher up from existing MG SUVs and is likely to compete with cars such as the Skoda Kodiaq if launched in India. However, its launch in India has not been confirmed yet.

The sides of the SUV have a long wheelbase, large alloy wheels as well as an upright roofline which are typical of an SUV that has been designed to accommodate passengers in the third row. It also has flush-type door handles and sharp edges, all of which give it a contemporary look. The rear end of the MG S9 has connected LED taillamps and a sculpted tailgate.

Though the powertrain details are not yet confirmed, reports suggest that the car’s hybrid setup will deliver high power output along with better efficiency compared to other petrol-driven SUVs.

For running on electric power only, the car is meant to be driven in urban conditions to help save fuel and reduce emissions. For longer runs, the petrol engine will work in tandem with the electric motor.

The three-row layout allows seating for up to seven occupants. MG is expected to equip the SUV with features such as panoramic sunroof, wireless connectivity, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) as well as multiple comfort-focused technologies depending on market specifications.
