What is a Super Hybrid? New Chinese Car Brand Catchphrase Explained

Reported EV sales dropped 52% in Australia through June 2025 Chinese brands shift focus to 'Super Hybrid' plug-in hybrid technology 'Super Hybrid' simplifies confusing PHEV jargon Models like Geely, MG, Chery, and BYD lead the Super Hybrid push Toyota responds with upcoming RAV4 PHEV amid rising competition Electric vehicle sales have decreased by more than 52% through June 2025 in Australia, and that's bad news if you're a Chinese EV-only car brand that's trying to break into a new market. Brands like Zeekr, DEEPAL, Smart, Polestar, and Xpeng have their work cut out for them if they're going to stay as EV-only brands. However, the majority of Chinese car brands are now hedging their bets on hybrid technology, more specifically, 'Super Hybrid' technology. While their EVs are top-notch, their hybrids are even better, and that's a concern for market leaders like Toyota and its top-selling RAV4. It's also a worry for existing brands that have struggled to adapt to hybrids quickly, including Subaru, which only just launched the long-awaited Forester Hybrid. To dispel the complicated jargon associated with the different types of hybrid technology available, Chinese car brands have joined forces to create the term 'Super Hybrid,' which is another term for 'Plug-in Hybrid' or 'PHEV.' These vehicles have an engine, but can be driven for more than 100km with electric power only. It's genius, here's why. Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV | Image: Supplied / Mitsubishi I've had nothing but trouble trying to explain the differences between PHEV, BEV, MHEV, and all of the other complicated jargon associated with hybrid technology in recent years. I understand it as someone who's driven nearly everything, but I've had nothing but trouble trying to explain the differences to friends and family. I could only imagine what dealers and those on the showroom floor are going through, having to try to explain the differences between the technology to potential buyers. Consumer understanding hasn't been helped by brands like Mitsubishi that have stuck 'EV' badges on the side of their vehicles that require petrol, but they're not the only culprits. Mercedes-Benz, Toyota, and others have been quick to label cars 'Hybrid' that use a simple 48-volt system, which never provides drive to the wheels. The Chinese brands have realised the issues and jumped in with an all-encompassing term that makes your life as a new car buyer easier by explaining these complicated products under one term, 'Super Hybrid.' Geely Starray EM-i | Image: Supplied / Geely To get granular, the term 'Super Hybrid' describes a 'Plug-in Hybrid' or 'PHEV' vehicle, which has a conventional petrol engine and gearbox, but also a large battery (that can be charged like an EV) and an electric motor that powers the wheels. These vehicles can be driven on electric power only for more than 100km in most cases and charged with a cable or the vehicle's engine. Most importantly, they can also be driven without even being plugged in by using the petrol engine as a traditional hybrid would. Geely is the latest Chinese car brand to ditch the EV-only showroom by launching the oddly-named Starray EM-i, which the brand is calling a 'Super Hybrid.' It features a 1.5-litre engine that produces 73kW of power alongside a 160kW electric motor powered by an 18.4kWh battery that can send a combined 193kW of power to the front wheels and drive for up to 80km on EV-only power. It will soon be joined in the market by other 'Super Hybrid' vehicles, including the Omoda 9 SHS (from $61,990 plus on-roads) and existing models in the market like the MG HS Super Hybrid (from $50,990 drive-away), top-selling BYD Sealion 6 (from AUD$42,990 plus on-roads), and the large Chery Tiggo 8 Super Hybrid SUV (from $45,990 drive-away). Geely Starray EM-i | Image: Supplied / Geely If 'Super Hybrid' technology sounds like the best of EVs without the range anxiety, then you'd mostly be right. I've spent time behind the wheel of everything from the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV to a $250,000 Range Rover Sport PHEV and Defender that uses the same basic concept. During my test of these vehicles, I rarely used the petrol engine to drive the vehicle. I charged up the small battery overnight using a powerpoint and drove to work and back without ever using the petrol engine. However, there is one catch, as I experienced in the Alfa Romeo Tonale PHEV. If you become too lazy to charge the battery during the ownership period, PHEV or 'Super Hybrid' vehicles are terrible to drive. The added weight (often hundreds of kilograms) and underpowered petrol engine mean they're severely down on power, and without the added oomph of an electric motor driving the wheels, you spend the whole time wishing that you were driving a conventional hybrid. 2026 Toyota RAV4 | Image: Supplied / Toyota Therein lies Toyota's argument. Car buyers are lazy; they won't charge their PHEVs, and the Super Hybrid technology is merely a stepping-stone to a battery EV or a step backwards on the super-efficient hybrid technology that Toyota already offers. At least, it was their argument until they launched their new RAV4 with a PHEV variant. Toyota has sold 24,034 Hybrid RAV4s through June 2025. That figure is down 5.4% on where the top-selling car was this time last year, but it's one to watch as more 'Super Hybrid' models from Chinese brands hit our market in the coming months and Toyota's own plug-in hybrid RAV4 hits the market sometime next year. PHEV sales in Australia are up 10.5% so far this year, but the small number of cars sold through June 2025 (472 sales) does make you wonder just how many people are asking for this technology.

GWM Haval H6GT PHEV plug-in hybrid review and family road test
Don't miss out on the headlines from Motoring. Followed categories will be added to My News. Based purely on figures, this is Australia's best plug-in hybrid SUV. GWM Haval has thrown down the gauntlet with its PHEV version of the H6GT, boasting an all-electric range of 180km and a further 870km using the turbocharged petrol engine. Most key rivals can only manage half that pure electric range, including challengers in the BYD Sealion 6 AWD, Jaecoo J7 and the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Only available in one specification, GWM Haval has thrown everything into its flagship hybrid SUV, which starts from just below $54,000 drive-away. That's about on par with the Sealion 6 AWD Premium but more expensive than the top-shelf J7 ($47,990 drive-away), while there is also the Leapmotor C10 REEV Ultra Hybrid for $49,990. The Japanese-built Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV starts from $57,990 for the bare-bones derivatives, and pushes up to $74,490 for models with all the fruit. While the price is right, as are the numbers, our family test saw the H6GT throw up some challenges and frustrations. The lowdown What did you loathe? Kel ● Brake and accelerator pedals are too close together ● No wireless Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, you have to plug in ● Strange new car smell Grant ● Wooden braking feel ● Cabin and driving functions are frustratingly slow to find ● Stereo and Bluetooth system sound low-rent What did you love? Kel ● Peace of mind warranty ● Ability of voice recognition to differentiate between passenger and driver ● Ample back seat space for adults Grant ● Price and ongoing costs are alluring for a plug-in ● Impressive acceleration response from standstill ● EV range the best in this genre What do you get? The standard SUV wagon has just been released starting from $50,990. For an extra $3000 you get the coupe-like rear. Some would be asking 'does my bum look big in this?'. The answer is yes … but we've seen Mercedes-Benz have success with its coupe-styled SUVs, as has BMW who were among the pioneers. There is no short of kit, among the best complimentary gear is synthetic leather and suede trim, power tailgate with hands free function, panoramic sunroof, wireless phone charger, dual-zone aircon, 12.3-inch main touchscreen and a 10.25-inch display for the driver, heated and ventilated front seats, head-up display and an eight-speaker stereo with wired smartphone mirroring apps. Some minor changes were made to 2025 models late last year, including GWM badges replacing Haval (matt black versions are used on the tailgate instead of chrome), and voice command technology was also added to the infotainment. The latter was the most important inclusion as it saves users from having to dive into the labyrinth that is the vehicle settings. GWM has sacrificed buttons in favour of modern minimalisation and finding the various functions quickly can be challenging. When it comes to colour options, white is complimentary, red, blue, black and grey are an extra $495. Capped price servicing is available, and remains at the lower end of the scale – the first five all are $400 or below, but the fourth jumps to $705 due to a range of fluid replacements and new spark plugs. Warranty coverage is above mainstream average at seven years and unlimited kilometres. Use a fast public charger and the battery will be replenished from five per cent to full in about an hour, while going from 30 to 80 per cent would take 26 minutes. A home AC charger can take a flat battery to full in six hours, but double that using the standard household power point – on test we saw just below 10km for every hour of charge. Interior features of the GWM Haval H6GT PHEV Ultra a 12.3-inch main touchscreen, 10.25-inch display for the driver, heated and ventilated front seats, head-up display and an eight-speaker stereo with wired smartphone mirroring apps. How was the drive? On paper the H6GT looks outstanding. Using the launch control it can rip from standstill to 100km/h in less than five seconds courtesy of 130kW front and 135kW rear electric motors supported by a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, which collectively combine for a hefty 321kW and a muscular 762Nm of torque. They are massive numbers for a family SUV, but typically the call to set quarter mile records on the way to footy training are limited. Transitioning between petrol and electric power is all done seamlessly, and in the majority of circumstances the ride is smooth and the acceleration is punchy. Yet attack the corners with enthusiasm and H6GT suffers from body roll and the 19-inch rubber battles for grip, while a wooden brake feel doesn't generate much stopping confidence when you jump on the anchors. The brake and accelerator pedals are also positioned too close together. With a 12m turning circle it can mean more steering wheel twirling in tight carparks. The greatest frustrations came from cabin controls due to the lack of physical buttons. Finding various functions, like changing driving modes and turning on the seat heaters, was challenging and time-consuming through the menus. Shortcuts can make the job simpler but it still requires screen access. Achieving more than 1000km with combined petrol and electric power is possible, with the hybrid doing its best work around town and in traffic rather than long highway runs. Boot space in the Haval H6GT PHEV is on the small side for this size SUV, at just below 400L. Would you buy one? Kel: From the outset I was excited with the styling. But I found the driving experience to be mediocre and the new car smell was an acquired taste. Shortcuts through the touchscreen improve the functionality but I'm somewhat old-school and prefer toggles, dials or buttons. There were too many frustrations for my liking. Grant: There was a love-hate relationship throughout our test. Awesome electric range, punchy performance, and the ability for both driver and passenger to ask for various things – such as 'turn down the aircon', 'turn on seat heaters' and 'change to sport mode' – was cool. But really, buttons would probably be faster. GWM Haval has got so many elements right, but some of the typically easy basics made driving hard work. AT A GLANCE GWM Haval H6GT PHEV ULTRA PRICE $53,990 drive-away WARRANTY 7-year unlimited km, five years roadside assist, battery 8 years or 150,000km SERVICING $1980 for five, intervals annual or every 15,000km (first service is within 10,000km) POWERTRAIN Petrol engine, electric motors on each axle, two-speed hybrid transmission, AWD, 321kW/762Nm with 35.43kWh battery SAFETY Adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, traffic sign recognition, traffic jam assist, auto parking, auto emergency braking, rear cross traffic assist, 360-degree-view camera, blind spot detection RANGE 180km EV driving, petrol 870km THIRST 0.8L/100km, 5.4L/100km on petrol alone SPARE Repair kit BOOT 392L, 1390L with rear seats folded Originally published as Haval H6GT PHEV plug-in hybrid review and family road test finds flashy but flawed

2025 MG HS Super Hybrid prices cut ahead of Australian release
MG Motor Australia has announced lower national drive-away pricing for its MG HS Super Hybrid ahead of its September arrival Down Under, where the new-generation plug-in hybrid (PHEV) mid-size SUV will be priced from $50,990 drive-away. That means MG's answer to the Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV, BYD Sealion 6 and GWM Haval H6 GT – will now cost $2000 less than previously announced in entry-level Excite form. The same PHEV powertrain is also offered in the HS Essence, which will be $1000 cheaper than expected at $54,990 drive-away. The move reduces the price premium between the equivalent petrol-only MG HS and Super Hybrid versions to $14,000, with the non-hybrid MG HS Excite unchanged at $36,990 drive-away and the Essence at $40,990 drive-away. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. The 'Super Hybrid' powertrain used in both variants offers a claimed 1000km of total driving range from its 55-litre fuel tank and 24.7kWh LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) battery. Under the bonnet is a 220kW/350Nm 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine driving the front wheels. MG will also launch the MG HS Hybrid+ – distinct from the plug-in 'Super Hybrid' – in the second half of 2025. A rival for the top-selling Toyota RAV4 Hybrid, the HS Hybrid+ will have combined fuel consumption of 5.2L.100km, but MG is yet to confirm local model grades or pricing. To compete with the RAV4, HS Hybrid+ vehicles will need to be priced below the Super Hybrid versions of the HS. The new-generation MG HS was introduced in Australia in late 2024 – a full 12 months ahead of Super Hybrid variants – with regular versions powered by a 1.5-litre 125kW/275Nm four-cylinder turbo-petrol engine. The price change makes the HS Super Hybrid the same price as MG's bigger Toyota Kluger-sized, seven-seat petrol-powered MG QS Essence – the highest model grade of the Chinese brand's new large SUV – and $4000 more than the entry-level QS Excite.
