Change your car with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Change-Your-Car-1607 Meet the new MG HS! This mid-size SUV is currently the 5th best-selling car in the UK! The question is, why is it so popular? And does it offer enough to turn you away from competitors like the Volkswagen Tiguan, Kia Sportage and Mazda CX-5? Mat’s got his hands on one to find out. Starting with the design, it's a fairly good-looking car! At the front, there are creases in the bonnet to give it presence on the road, coupled with a huge grille and a sporty lower bumper. There are a couple of vents to give it more definition, but upon closer inspection, they are 100% fake! Along the side, there are chrome surrounds for the windows and on the roof bars, while at the back, there’s a small spoiler and a full-length light bar. Unfortunately, the fakery continues, with a pair of 100% fake exhaust pipes! On the inside, the MG HS is a pretty nice place to be. There’s leatherette across the dash and the top of the doors, and there are good-sized infotainment and digital dial screens. There may be some scratchy plastics down low, but that’s what you would come to expect for a car in this price bracket. The buttons on the steering wheel feel expensive, and there is a good amount of storage throughout. Knee room in the back is also plentiful. All editions of the MG HS come with a 1.5-litre petrol engine. The standalone car without hybrid support produces 169hp and 275Nm, while the self-charging hybrid produces 224hp and 340Nm. The top-of-the-range edition is the plug-in hybrid, which produces 299hp and 350Nm. The latter also allows for up to 76 miles of driving on electric power alone! The entry-level MG HS can be purchased for £23,572 with the Carwow discount applied. It’s also not much more for the top-of-the-range PHEV, which costs £28,250, again with the Carwow discount applied. Given that this is around £10,000 cheaper than its key competitor, the Volkswagen Tiguan, is the MG HS the right car for you? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
