The MG HS enters its second generation with a redesign, interior revamp and more technology
In its century-long history, MG has launched several cars that changed the face of the company.Cast your mind back to the MGB, deemed by many to be the first ‘modern’ MG, and to the MGF, which revitalised the brand’s sporting image.The MG HS SUV hasn’t quite institutionalised itself in quite the same way, but now the Chinese-owned is pinning its hopes on the model’s continued success here in the UK.It has even described this new, second-generation version as the most important car it has ever launched.Arriving six years after its predecessor, the new HS brings a complete exterior design overhaul, a heavily updated interior, and a suite of technology updates – all of which MG hopes will cement the car’s position as an alternative value option in the ever-competitive b-segment.MG sees the HS as a rival to the more expensive Ford Kuga, Hyundai Tucson and Nissan Qashqai. It usefully undercuts those cars, with a starting price of £24,995. MG HS range at a glanceVersionPowerHS SE168bhpHS Trophy168bhpHS SE PHEV258bhpHE Trophy PHEV258bhp
