MG HS (2024-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Amazing value for money	MG has a poor reputation for reliability
75-mile official range for plug-in hybrid model	Underwhelming petrol engine
Long warranty	Poor fuel economy in entry-level model

Quick Summary

The MG HS (2024-present) is a midsize family SUV that stands out for its exceptional value, significantly undercutting rivals like the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai with a starting price around £25,000. Despite its budget-friendly tag, it offers a refined exterior with 19-inch alloy wheels as standard, a spacious interior, and a choice of petrol or an impressive plug-in hybrid (PHEV) powertrain, the latter boasting up to 75 miles of electric-only range.

Practicality is a strong suit, featuring a 507-litre boot and excellent rear passenger space. While the 1.5-litre petrol engine is adequate for urban driving, it can be noisy under load, and the PHEV, though powerful, delivers linear rather than exhilarating acceleration. The ride is comfortable, absorbing bumps well, but the steering lacks feedback. Technology is generous, including dual 12.3-inch screens and standard safety features, though the infotainment system's usability and sensitive driver aids can be frustrating. Overall, the HS is a solid choice for those prioritising affordability and practicality.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, those seeking a spacious and well-equipped family SUV, company car drivers (PHEV), and buyers prioritising value over dynamic driving.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium badge appeal, dynamic driving experience, those bothered by sensitive driver aids or touchscreen-heavy controls, or those who need a top-tier reliability reputation.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the MG HS if: You're on a budget, seeking a spacious and well-equipped family SUV, or looking for an efficient PHEV for lower running costs (especially company car drivers).

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise dynamic driving, premium feel, or are sensitive to overly active driver assistance systems.

Competitive Position: The MG HS offers exceptional value in the family SUV segment, significantly undercutting rivals while providing generous space, equipment, and a competitive PHEV option. While it may not match the driving dynamics of a Kia Sportage, its affordability, practicality, and long warranty make it a compelling choice for budget-conscious buyers and those prioritising cost-effectiveness.
