MG Unveils Second Generation HS SUV at Goodwood
MG recently revealed the second generation of the HS SUV at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. The new model offers both traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) options.
PHEV Model Features
The PHEV variant boasts an impressive 75-mile electric range and more power compared to its predecessor. This makes it a compelling choice for eco-conscious consumers looking for a blend of performance and efficiency.
Pricing Details
Prices for the new MG HS start from £24,995 ($32,187) for the standard gas model and £31,495 ($40,557) for the PHEV version. This competitive pricing positions the HS as an attractive option in its segment.
Design and Features
The second-generation MG HS shares its platform with the Roewe RX5, a popular model in China. Despite the shared platform, the HS features unique styling elements such as a distinctive front bumper and sportier air intakes, setting it apart from its sibling.
Interior and Technology
The cabin of the new MG HS offers increased spaciousness, with seating for five passengers and a generous 507-liter boot capacity. The dashboard is equipped with dual 12.3-inch displays and a modern ‘shuttle-style’ gear shifter on the center console. Additional features include a wireless charging pad, premium audio system, 360-degree camera, and MG Pilot ADAS package.
Powertrain Options
The MG HS is available in both gasoline and PHEV configurations. The PHEV model combines a 1.5-liter engine with a powerful electric motor, delivering impressive performance and a zero-emission range of up to 75 miles. The standard gasoline engine option offers a balance of power and efficiency, making it a versatile choice for different driving preferences.
Pricing and Availability
The MG HS is competitively priced, starting from £24,995 for the ICE model and £31,495 for the PHEV variant. Orders are now open in the UK, with deliveries expected to begin by the end of July. This makes the new MG HS an appealing option for consumers looking for a stylish, efficient, and feature-packed SUV.
