What are the key safety features of the MG HS?

All MG HS models are packed with standard safety kit. Expect lane keep assist, automatic emergency braking, blind spot monitoring and speed limit assist as standard, with adaptive cruise control on automatics and plug-in hybrids. The HS has a five-star Euro NCAP rating (from both 2019 and the updated 2024 test), making it a reassuring choice for family journeys.

What engine options are available with the MG HS?

The MG HS is available with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine (6-speed manual or 7-speed auto) and, in select markets, a 2.0-litre turbo petrol with AWD. A plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant has been available since 2020, combining the 1.5 petrol engine with an electric motor for more efficiency and power.

What are the standard technology and infotainment features in the MG HS?

Every MG HS includes a touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB radio and Bluetooth. Higher trims add sat nav, upgraded audio and features like wireless phone charging. All versions have digital displays and most offer rear-view cameras and keyless entry.

What is the fuel consumption of the MG HS?

Expect official fuel economy between 36-38mpg for petrol models (manuals are slightly more efficient than automatics). The MG HS PHEV is officially rated at around 155mpg (WLTP), though this depends on how often you charge it and whether you take shorter trips where the car uses mostly electric power. Its EV-only range is up to 32 miles on a full charge.

What should I check when buying a used MG HS?

Inspect the infotainment system for slow operation or glitches and listen out for excessive engine noise on test drives, especially with the automatic gearbox. Also check the condition of interior trim and make sure all safety tech works as expected. For extra peace of mind, consider a comprehensive check like The AA Vehicle Inspection.

Are MG HS cars reliable?

The MG HS scores well for value and everyday reliability, and the seven-year warranty (for new models) is a clear vote of confidence. While owners note some infotainment quirks and the occasional trim issue, the running costs are low – making it a reassuring, budget-friendly SUV for most.

The MG HS at a glance

The MG HS has made a real name for itself as a practical, well-equipped SUV that keeps costs low without cutting out key comforts. Launched in 2019 and updated for 2023, it’s designed with families in mind. Think flexible interiors, strong safety credentials and easy-to-drive feel. There's a decent amount of boot space – 507 litres, which expands to 1,484 litres when you fold the rear seats. Although not the largest in its class, it's respectable. You’ll find petrol and plug-in hybrid versions, both offering generous equipment as standard. You can expect touchscreen infotainment, advanced safety systems and comfort, even in entry-level trims. While its road manners and cabin finish can't compete with pricier rivals, its seven-year warranty, value and usability make it a tough bargain to beat.

Pros

Excellent value
Roomy, practical interior
Seven-year warranty on newer models

Cons

Petrol engine can be noisy
Infotainment can feel slow
Smaller boot than some rivals

What our AA Mechanics think of the MG HS

When buying a used MG HS, start with the service history. The warranty is a big part of the car’s appeal, so check it has been serviced at MG on time and schedule. The newer 2024-onwards model is the better pick if budget allows, as it feels more polished than the first-generation car. Check the 12-volt battery, infotainment, reversing camera, parking sensors, tyres and brakes before buying.
