MG Motors is celebrating a key milestone in Pakistan’s auto sector: one year since the launch of the MG HS Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). Introduced as the country’s first locally assembled PHEV, the model has now completed its debut year, and MG is rolling out special perks for new customers throughout September.
A Year Since the Big Reveal
The MG HS PHEV first appeared at the Pakistan Auto Show in October 2024, positioned as a practical step toward electrified mobility. Marketed under the “True Hybrid Electric” slogan, the SUV brought something new to Pakistan’s roads — the ability to cover more than 50 kilometers purely on battery power. For city driving, this meant daily commutes without fuel, while the hybrid setup kicked in for longer trips.
That dual capability set the HS PHEV apart in a market still dominated by conventional petrol engines. It wasn’t just another SUV; it represented MG’s push to bring New Energy Vehicles (NEVs) into Pakistan, at a time when the industry is slowly warming up to electrification.
Anniversary Offers for September Buyers
To mark the one-year anniversary, MG Pakistan has launched a promotional campaign aimed at boosting sales and rewarding early adopters. Customers who pay in full for their MG HS PHEV bookings this month stand a chance to secure the following incentives:
- Cashback – Three buyers will be refunded 50% of their purchase price.
- Free Registration – Ten winners will avoid registration charges.
- Discounted Insurance – Another ten will get MG Shield coverage at a reduced 1.55% rate.
- Maintenance Perks – Twenty buyers will receive free scheduled maintenance for the first year.
What It Means for Pakistan’s EV Push
These incentives do more than celebrate an anniversary — they underline MG’s strategy to make plug-in hybrids more appealing in a cost-conscious market. With high fuel prices and growing awareness of environmental issues, the HS PHEV’s positioning as a fuel-saving yet versatile SUV has found some traction.
MG has also worked to ease ownership concerns. Around 80% of orders have reportedly been delivered on time, and the company has offered a free 7kW charger to counter slow-charging complaints.
The question is whether these anniversary perks will help plug-in hybrids expand their share of Pakistan’s car market. While EV adoption remains gradual, MG’s HS PHEV has already pushed the conversation forward — showing that sustainable mobility is no longer a distant concept, but a viable option on local roads.
