The HS 1.5T is powered by the MEGA Tech 1.5T direct injection turbocharged petrol engine, which delivers 180hp/5,600rpm and 29.1kgm/1,500~4,000rpm of torque. The vehicle is also covered by a 4-year or 120,000km factory warranty.

The HS PHEV is not only a performance vehicle that offers a dual-powered personality, it is also the perfect solution to electric vehicle mileage anxiety.
The HS PHEV is equipped with a BOSE theatre-quality surround sound system as standard, making it the perfect companion for every journey.
