2025 MG HS price and specs: New SUV gets more tech for more money

After only four years on ***** in Australia, MG’s largest vehicle in local showrooms has just entered its second generation, bringing with it more tech, improved safety features, and larger dimensions – as well as a higher price.

is at least $4000 more expensive than it used to be, with price increases of $5000 and $7000 further up the range.

It retains the same basic engine and transmission setup as its predecessor, though power and torque outputs have been boosted alongside a switch to a wet dual-clutch transmission for smoother shifting.

The HS has received an all-new interior with dual 12.3-inch instrument cluster and infotainment displays, while the exterior wears MG’s current design language as seen on the new

Size has also expanded, with a longer wheelbase housing extra boot space over the outgoing model. Its exterior is also adorned in aerodynamic elements like a new roof spoiler and diffuser, which MG says has reduced drag to provide an improved fuel economy rating.

It also now boasts a suite of safety technology, including advanced warning systems and driver assists. Driver comfort has been improved with the addition of further insulation and sound deadening around the cabin.

The new HS will initially be available in three variants, though there aren’t any major cosmetic or mechanical differences across the lineup – instead focused on interior comforts like heated seats and electric adjustment.

It’s due in Australia in the second half of this year, with hybrid versions to follow in the first half of 2025.

The previous HS was MG’s third-highest seller in 2023, with 8126 examples delivered. It ranked behind the ZS and MG 3 which achieved 29,258 and 15,430 deliveries, respectively.

To the end of July, MG has delivered 1863 examples of the HS in 2024, making it one of the less-popular models in the mid-size SUV market.

The new MG HS has launched with non-hybrid power only. All three variants are powered by the same 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine, mated with a wet seven-speed dual-clutch transmission.

There are plug-in hybrid (PHEV) versions of the outgoing HS available, and they’ll also receive an update for the new generation. Such models are due to arrive in the first half of next year.

Efficiency

The new HS is claimed to be more fuel efficient than the outgoing 1.5-litre model, though it retains the same fuel requirement and capacity.

With an extended wheelbase, the new HS is nearly 100mm longer than the old version. It’s also slightly wider, heavier, and has a larger boot capacity, though its roofline isn’t as tall as before.

As with all new MG models, the HS is covered by an industry-leading 10-year, 250,000 kilometre warranty. Roadside assistance is also offered for the duration of the warranty and is activated each time the vehicle is serviced within the MG network.

Servicing is required every 12 months or 15,000km, whichever comes first. MG details capped-price servicing for the first 10 visits, detailed below:

Safety

The new HS is yet to be tested by ANCAP or Euro NCAP, and is therefore unrated. MG has said it’s “confident” the new model will achieve a high safety rating once it has been assessed.
