All-new MG HS SUV unveiled at Goodwood Festival of Speed
The highly-anticipated MG HS SUV has been revealed at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, marking the latest evolution of this top-selling vehicle in the UK.
Celebrating MG’s 100th anniversary, the new HS models include both petrol and plug-in hybrid (PHEV) options, reinforcing MG’s commitment to exceptional value and advanced features.
New MG HS Range Details
The updated HS range offers a choice between petrol and PHEV powertrains, maintaining MG’s reputation for value in the SUV market. Prices start at £24,995 for the petrol HS SE 1.5T and go up to £33,995 for the range-topping HS Trophy PHEV. All models come with a generous 7-year/80,000-mile warranty.
Advanced Powertrains and Performance
The new PHEV powertrain combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 154kW electric motor, achieving 0-62mph in just 6.8 seconds and offering an electric-only range of up to 75 miles. This makes it highly appealing for UK company car drivers with a 5% Benefit-in-Kind rate and significant fuel savings.
The petrol variant features a new-generation 1.5T engine delivering 169ps and 275Nm of torque, capable of 0-62mph in 9.4 seconds. It comes with a 6-speed manual transmission as standard, with a 7-speed DCT automatic available.
Enhanced Design and Comfort
The new MG HS boasts refined proportions with a longer wheelbase, increased cabin space, and sophisticated styling. It is wider and longer than its predecessor, with a lower overall height for a more athletic silhouette. The front grille reflects MG’s latest design language, while new slimmer headlights and LED taillights add a modern touch.
Inside, the HS features dual 12.3-inch high-definition displays for infotainment and driver information. The Trophy model includes a 360° surround view camera and wireless smartphone charging. The interior is designed for maximum comfort and functionality, with premium materials and increased storage options.

The new MG HS is available to order now, with first deliveries of the petrol variant expected by the end of July and plug-in hybrid models arriving in showrooms by the end of September.
