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 is a midsize family SUV that excels on value, significantly undercutting key rivals like the Kia Sportage and Nissan Qashqai. As MG's best-selling UK model, it delivers a spacious and practical interior with a 507-litre boot, making it a strong choice for families on a budget. It is available with either a 1.5-litre petrol engine or as a plug-in hybrid (PHEV), both offering a generous level of standard equipment for the price.

The PHEV version is the highlight of the range, with an impressive official electric-only range of 75 miles that is ideal for low running costs and appealing to company car drivers. The standard petrol engine is adequate for town driving but can feel noisy and underwhelming under acceleration. While the ride is comfortable, the HS lacks the dynamic engagement of its key competitors. Its generous technology offering is hampered by an over-reliance on the touchscreen for basic controls and some overly sensitive driver assistance systems.

Best for: Budget-conscious buyers, families needing space and practicality, company car drivers (PHEV model), and those wanting a long warranty.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking an engaging or dynamic driving experience, those who dislike touchscreen-heavy controls, or buyers concerned about brand reputation for reliability.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the HS if: Value for money is your top priority, you need a spacious family SUV, or you want the low running costs offered by the long-range PHEV model.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise an engaging driving experience, prefer physical cabin controls over touchscreens, or have concerns about brand reliability.

Competitive Position: The MG HS is a leader in value for the family SUV segment. It offers an unbeatable combination of space, equipment, and (in PHEV form) running costs for its price. While it can't match rivals like the Kia Sportage for driving dynamics or interior refinement, its sheer affordability makes it a compelling and sensible choice for pragmatic, budget-conscious buyers.
