Images and video footage have been released today showing the all-new MG HS.
Revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed during MG’s 100th anniversary celebration, the all-new HS petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models highlight MG’s place in the market for good value cars. These new models come with a host of new features, more cabin space, and improved styling, making this SUV even more appealing.
The petrol HS SE 1.5T starts at £24,995, while the top-of-the-line HS Trophy PHEV begins at £33,995. Each one also comes with a 7-year/80,000-mile warranty, supported by a network of 160 dealers.
David Allison, Head of Product and Planning at MG Motor UK, said: “The outgoing HS SUV has been immensely popular. However, the new SE and Trophy models raise the bar with even more equipment and functionality, a distinctive MG appearance that sets the HS apart from other SUVs and a choice of advanced petrol and plug-in hybrid powertrains. This strong MG all-rounder is now adding even more to its game.”
A Range of Advanced, Efficient MG Petrol and PHEV Engines
The new MG HS offers a choice between petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrains.
The PHEV model combines a 105kW (142ps) 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 154kW electric motor, achieving 0-62mph in just 6.8 seconds. It has a large 24.7kWh battery and a 67kW generator, giving it an electric-only range of up to 75 miles.
The petrol model features a new 1.5T engine that delivers 125kW (169ps) and 275Nm of torque, reaching 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds. It comes with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard, with a 7-speed DCT automatic also available.
Stylish and Refined Design
The new MG HS has a more sophisticated look with a longer wheelbase for extra cabin space, shorter overhangs, a rising shoulder line, and a slim glasshouse. It is 14mm wider and up to 45mm longer than the previous model, with a reduced height for a sleeker profile. The wheelbase has also been extended by 45mm to enhance its athletic silhouette and interior room.
The front grille follows MG’s latest design language, complemented by slimmer headlights connected by a central black panel to emphasise width. At the rear, LED taillights are linked by a central motif, with an X-shape providing a distinctive light signature at night.
Enhanced Interior Comfort and Connectivity
Inside, the new HS SE and Trophy models offer more functionality, space, comfort, and a stylish, modern cabin as standard. It features two 12.3-inch high-definition displays for infotainment and driver information. The central display includes live navigation services, weather updates, live traffic, Amazon Music, and smartphone connectivity via Android Auto™ and Apple CarPlay®. Trophy models also come with a 360° surround view camera and wireless smartphone charging.
The driver display offers two themes and three modes – Map, Digital, and ADAS – each with unique layouts focusing on navigation, essential driving information, or real-time vehicle visualisation. The interior uses new quality materials and premium highlights to create a welcoming atmosphere, enhanced by a new three-spoke steering wheel and a modern gear stick.
The boot capacity has increased to a maximum of 507 litres, and the wider exterior allows for greater comfort for all occupants, with additional storage options for everyday items.
Key Features and Value
The new MG HS offers good value with several upgrades over the previous model. The Trophy model now includes 19-inch diamond-cut alloy wheels, front fog lights, heated door mirrors with memory, an electric driver’s seat with lumbar adjustment, a power tailgate, a 360° surround-view camera, an 8-speaker audio system, live services, wireless smartphone charging, and Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality on PHEV models.
All models come with an enhanced MG Pilot package featuring Active Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Driver Attention Alert, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Door Open Warning as standard. DCT models also include Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, and Intelligent Speed Limit Assist.
The HS SE model includes automatic full LED headlights, rear parking sensors, a rear parking camera, heated door mirrors, adjustable electric seats, air conditioning, keyless entry, rain-sensing wipers, cruise control, an electric parking brake, and dual 12.3-inch displays with navigation and smartphone mirroring.
