MG HS review 2020: Is made in China finally good? We review MG's mid-sized SUV.

[@kengoodwin7461]

Hi Paul, I'm in NZ & I had this model out over night & drove about 250 ks over hils and flat open road running. I found the imedeiate response when excallerating in auto and used the paddle shift. Overall performance was excellent, the suspension was perfect & did not feel ant body roll. It stuck to the road & felt we were one with the road. Also I was so impressed with the stearing. I had no effort at all in cornering, in actual fact, all I did was a slight hand movement in both directions & pretty much the stearing took over & seemed to assist in the actual cornering, wonderfull. I was not overwelmed with the peeping when the doors opened, I actually found favor with trhe concept. I found at a 100 ks an hour the fuel gage hardly moved after doing 75 ks. My friend had a drive & he went up to 120 ks an hour. That was when the fuel gauge went down quite quick. I am looking forward to the purches of one. We have been offered this demo at a rather good reduced price. It is the 2021 & done just over 3.500 ks. It has all we would want to have in a car plus some. What I loved about it was that it has a electrick sunroof which is so refreshing. So to round up, My Wife & I simply love this car, & did not find one bit of negitivity about it what soever. And for the price, it is all car & comfort.

Your review is always detailed and objective, unlike some others who show bias from the very beginning. I look for your review every time I need check out on a particular model. Well done!

Buying an MG supports the Communist Party of China. People that care about their own economy buy products from people/companies/brands that are designed and/or developed and/or researched in their own country or ally country. The people that work for those local companies, in free democracies, then buy other products developed in their own country or ally country and that keeps their families and friends in work and making money. Stupid people buy direct from Chinese brands and send every single penny out of their country and destroy their own economy and eventually their entire free society because they are cretins and/or greedy and/or want things they can't afford, and rather than wait and save. They are happy to screw over their entire economy in the pursuit of self-gratification, selfishness, and ego. Buying CCP owned brands and products fuels Chinese R&D and weakens free economies. Your children and your children's children will suffer as a result of your choices. This is not hyperbole, it is fact.

I bought one of these in June (kicking myself because the day before we picked it up, MG announced the essence variant). I’ve been nothing but happy with it. Value for money wise, it is unbeatable. I actually really enjoy this car, and was very surprised by it after taking it for, a very hesitant, test drive. In all honesty, I’d buy it again. One of the big things missed in this review is the MG pilot setting, which is absolutely brilliant in peak traffic. It’s no Tesla, but it works well enough. If anyone is seriously considering one in the Sydney region, I can strongly recommend the team at Lansvale MG. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish.

[@hedydd2]

MG sales are quite strong in my area of Wales, helped by a keen dealer which has two depots and also a Honda franchise. Honda have lost the plot really with lacklustre designs that are too expensive for what they are and a very limited model range. The price of the MG trounces most similar cars, which is again popular for a region renowned for its parsimonious population who have short arms and very deep pockets.

[@MultiZed1]

I was given MG HS Essence as a loaner by my dealer while my Ford Mondeo Titanium MD TDi had a water leak from air conditioner repaired. My impressions: build quality seemed good, it was spacious inside, the seats were comfortable and supportive and easily adjusted. It has good visibility. Things I did not like: a blind spot was created in the middle of the windscreen by the rear vision mirror, maybe I could have lowered my seat to overcome this. The ride was not as comfortable as my 5-year-old Mondeo. The MG was definitely noisier inside the cabin. The engine seems to be more labouring than I am used to and I wonder how the MG HS would have gone on a trip traveling 1000 km from Canberra to Ballina carrying my wife and I and three dogs and all of our gear for 10 days holiday. I am sure we would have used lot more than the 56 litres of fuel one way that we did. However, the MG HS Essence feels very nice inside.

[@cweatherfella547]

Agree A friend of mine she has had one for 18 months I was shocked at how good it is for the money

[@kimpedler8023]

I bought this and within 10 days (and a rushed first service) drove it from Perth to Melbourne. Did roughly 8000km in three weeks and had the 10 000km service after only owning the car for 8 weeks!! Took sometime to get used to as this is the first automatic car I have ever owned (35 years of driving) and there are times when I do call it a 'Nanna' with all the beeping. Having said that I am loving it. I previously had the 2010 Honda CRV which was awesome but I was ready to get a new car and sell the Honda while it was still in good nick. I am enjoying it.

[@raybal57]

I've been driving a HS for 3500km over the past 3 weeks. It has developed a clunking noise behind/above the glovebox whenever you corner or go over speed bumps. The Automatic Cruise Control is fabulous but it can randomly disengage which is annoying. The gear changes are a bit clunky. There is excessive engine lag when you accelerate gently after a speed humps.

[@kengoodwin7461]

The one I drove has done 3,500 ks & we didn't feel or hear any noises at all, & defently no clunking at all in the trans or when in manual mode. Your s sounds as if it needs to go to the agent & be looked at.

[@lachlanburns7520]

[@umersalman1]

i may be completely wrong about this... but the higher number of a thing you manufacture, the cost goes down. If Apple had to produce 1000 tablets per year, they would cost a lot factoring in the R&D costs. Plus these are custom made with a lot of ports and designed to not hang up ever. They probably cost more than 500$ even with shitty processors.

I'm currently in a ZS 2020 (rental) it's nice to look at but awful to drive. You feel every imperfection on the road and the feedback noise in the cabin, once you exceed 40mph, is horrendous. I assume it's the basic trim because the interior is quite unimpressive. Another disappointing feature across the range is that regardless of the trim there are NO tinted/privacy windows and NO Android Auto just CarPlay👎 I've had the ZS for 2 weeks and I still haven't figured out how to use cruise control (no manual provided). I spoke to an MG service mechanic and he said that the ZS has the most problems EVER with at least 3-4 of them being reported daily. He warned me against buying one as they need to get China's consent before doing any major checks otherwise is will invalidate the 7 year warranty. I don't like this car, at all. I wouldn't say MG is trash just this model

In my opinion the MG HS excite 2 Litre Turbo AWD 6 speed DC Auto is a much better MG that the one you were driving because the AWD system keeps excellent control of body roll etc. I drove the 1.5 litre FWD which was not quite as powerful and sure noticed the difference on mountain roads especially. Don't think of taking your hands off the wheel because a popup on the dash screen will beep and will tell you to take control of the vehicle therefore this car does watch the driver. Try the auto pilot which is an extra layer of safety which will follow the car in front and stop when it stops. also the lane keep assist which will nudge you straight in the lane unless you use your indicator which it makes you do when turning or changing lanes. Also try the Auto Hold which will hold the brake on for you instead of you having to keep your foot on the brake while stopped at traffic lights etc.

I would much rather drive my son's 2017 Active X Kona, 2 litre Naturally aspirated and [like Mazda] has a 6 speed torque converter trans, also the Kona has an emergency brake which is something which modern vehicles are phasing out, though I note the Kia Stonic has one.

Hi I am looking at buying the MG ECITE CAN YOU PLEASE TELL ME IF THERE ARE TWO KEY FOBS WITH THIS MODEL Regards TONY

[@craigbuchanan1126]

from a paint finish point of view, the red color is the worst for scratching followed by the black paint. best is silver or white pearl

[@MotoMazza]

Hey Paul can you make a MG ZS comparison with the Haval Jolion! Tks!

[@ostadfiha4225]

If you get the car in red & blur the photo 99% people would mistake this as a Mazda.

Your review car already has condensation in the headlights at 1:56 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@BoomChing]

Are you sure thats on the inside?

[@tonee88]

@@BoomChing yep if you look at that shot the rest of the car is dry and the moisture is foggy like condensation

[@martynmorris8160]

You'll find that on most cars!

[@t8polestarcyan22]

Now... how about BYD Atto 3? I'm sure many including you have been checking it out. So far I'm happy with both MG and BYD brands.

[@syedumerahmed9514]

Very nice review

[@yggdrasil9039]

Please review the HS PHEV as soon as it arrives in Australia.

Very impressive actually well screwed together with 7 year warranty, took a test drive the other day. I tried rocking the centre console, it was rock steady unlike your one. One thing I disagree with you on, It’s hardly a small car! 😂

[@t8polestarcyan22]

I'm not so sure about the HS but the ZS is a small car but with good leg room for rear passengers. Boot is pretty good for the ZS well.

[@sarahwilson5029]

I JUST bought a HS Excite and thank you! Certainly not small! Haha

[@IsaacLoven]

Not being able to change the HVAC without looking ( no manual heat/fan controls) is a deal breaker for me. So dangerous to muck around with a touch screen while driving just to change the fan/temp. Should be illegal.

[@aramgod-n2d]

Not sure if you've realised but most modern cars do this now, it's for having a nicer interior overall

[@JP-hh2qj]

They have copied too much and too many..and got confused themselves somehow..

So I'm guessing the "super sport" button should be called "sportier than normal"

[@backinthegame34]

I get this car as a rental often in Qld. It’s terrible. Gearbox and engine are just hopeless. I rolled backwards in drive when stopped on a steep gradient.

Hi I'm from Turkey and i realy wonder this SUV; is it reliable ? especially its ENGINE and Transmission ? i real wonder please someone answer me ; i will prefer tihs suv because of its price and fully equipment of car.

[@williamjohnpaul5910]

Hi, which would you recommend between the MG HS excite and the Mitsubishi cross LS. I can either one for the same price , just not sure which is the better option . Thanks

[@jeffreylebowski2440]

Buy Mitsubishi. Don't buy chinese cars the quality is not there yet and the MG is basically owned by the chinese communist goverment, you really want to support economy of a country which regarded the whole west as an enemy to China.

[@KevrenBey]

so what are the chronical problems of this SUV ?

[@alimn9744]

should this car be bought any advice

[@enfield7123]

Really brilliant video I was looking at one yesterday thinking of changing from my vauxhall mokka t.d.i .. I really liked the look of the MG but now seen your review having second thoughts my mokka has 7000 miles on the clock and still runs well So will watch your video again and have a re think Thanks for taking the time to point out all the good and bad about the MG it is a well made informative video 👍🇬🇧

[@PhucNguyen-tr1pz]

Hi, do you know if their engine is an in-house engine or partnered with established brands?

[@CarExpertAus]

It's an engine that was once used in the Holden/Chevrolet Equinox :-D

[@michaelwhitestone6457]

Great review, one question, ...What is the length of the slow home charging cable that comes with the mg zs ev?

[@Ahmad-Mounir44]

Did anyone tell you that you're Mike Myers brother? :) Excellent review! And hello from Egypt. Just bought this car two weeks ago and It's incredibly fun to drive. My only concern is its ability to last long. The maintenance costs are acceptable here.

[@azanasif966]

MG recently launched in Pakistan and become very popular

[@POVDRIVE]

If you can, opt for the EXCLUSIVE version !! I just drove the MG EHS and it's mind blowing.. for the price.. you can't find a better deal 💪😎🤙

[@t8polestarcyan22]

MG EHS? Is that a fully electric HS?

[@JM-de9en]

Looking forward to the review for the 2021 MG6

[@SonicView09]

Will these Mg6 be available in Australia

[@benjamin5002]

My parents have a HS 2021 and I tested last weekend but I can say it is very annoy the slow reaction of the system, I can not change any thing without lagging 1-2 seconds for every input. When you select the temp button the screen shows 2 sec later and when you turn AC on you need to wait 2 sec or you will turn it off by accident, the same with changing fan speed other 1-2 sec to respond. I am used to turning on the AC without looking and setting the temperature and fan speed in less than 1 or 2 seconds and with this MG model u need to take eyes off the road more time than others models or park anywhere to manitulate it. Other thing is the annoyance of every time you turn on the vehicle the screen show the main menu with very furious colors and it not remember your last choice. And for me "With navigation system" is different to "with Applecar and Android Auto" when sellers say to potencial buyers because not all have a smartphones with IOS or Android up to date. NOT All HS models have navigation like the one shows here,only the fullllllllllllllly equiped. For me was a bad purchase from people who are used to fast responses from the system, and from older people who do not handle a modern cell phone well.

[@jaydancurrie5467]

can you review the MG ZST?

[@CarExpertAus]

We will try and get our hands on one.

[@skylinelover68]

How came he says it's for 34 Grand but my local dealer is selling it for 45 grand?🤔🤔

[@brettwright2060]

Hi Paul, thanks for the review. However, did you check the camera quality on the infotainment display? Are they in good quality and practicality? Some SUV like Nissan/Honda (as you correctly pointed out) give very poor quality picture.

[@farrukhnadeem1793]

Nice car, nice review 👌

[@lenstar01]

10:22 Why is it that you see the left rear door is open there's no beeps, obviously the doors are on a timer. Anyway great review.

[@fajoopsa]

It only beeps when you open the door.
