I have the outgoing 2024 HS Trophy manual model and I love it....The MG HS was never a car I'd considered before but I think that was just down to badge snobbery ....we needed more room in our family car and I happened to find myself in a MG showroom ...I couldn't beleive the quality of the interior of the hs ..soft touch material all over the cabin, electric heated front seats, dual air con , ambient lighting , reclining rear seats ,electric folding door mirrors and a whole host of other on board tech ..I have no idea weather the Audi is better than the MG or vice versa I just know my car does what I need it to do and thats get to work get the kids to school and get the shopping ...not everyone can afford to go out and buy an Audi ,BMW or Mercedes most people just get what they can get and in my humble opinion you get plenty of bang for your buck with the MG..I think this new model is stunning and will sell brilliantly here in the uk ...Great review

Don't understand why people hate it. Yes, it's no Audi, Mercedes ,BMW etc but it's not targeted at buyers of those brands. It starts at £25.000 and offers everything most people with no interest in cars want.

Smug MG fanboy driver here - we're on our fourth brand new one, both of our current cars are brand new, fully electric and top of the range (there isnt a lot of choice when it comes to spec) 72.6kw ZS and 77kw 77kw MG4. The MG4 does 0-60 in just over 6 seconds and is real wheel drive. Both cars compently achieve over 260 miles on a charge on real world conditions. Both cars cost under 3p per mile to run. Capital cost of both after discounts was a shade over £60k. Should have been more like £74k - but big discounts to be had through the MG Affinity programme and general laclustre performance makes it a buyers market for electric if you shop around. I do feel very smug seeing what weve got when compared to my neighbours Merc EQC400 worth circa £80k. It has roughly a 250 mile real world range from a 100ish KW battery due to it weighing more than a tank. Its a lovely car - and i know when car thieves come down our street theyre going to take his rather than either of mine. And im completely at peace with that. 80k warranty over 7 years. And i can outdo most things at the lights (well in one of the cars at least) I can live without the badge - keep your 3 spokes or 4 rings - ill have the cash.

Why do reviewers always praise lower driving positions in SUV’s? Surely most real world drivers appreciate the highest setting for a more commanding view out hence a mention of seat adjustability might be more useful for future reviews.
@cinch21 күн бұрын
Good question. It's worth mentioning for those who don't want to be in a "commanding" position but need the practicality of an SUV. A lot of SUVs are already high enough for most and with seats that don't allow much room to be lowered - it becomes uncomfortable if not restrictive for taller folks /Jamil

We have the previous generation of these as our work cars. They really surprised me when I first drove them but when the battery is flat they really drink fuel (the previous generation only managed 25 ish miles of electric driving) and the transition from petrol to electric was really sloppy. The suspension was also pretty poor but it was still a great value car

A lower seating position fixes a huge problem the previous HS had. I tried one and never got as far as actually turning on the ignition as even in its lowest setting, the seat was far too high up. I'm only 5'11" and I felt like my head was brushing the roof which was just silly.

Those tiny tucked in wheels make it look cheap. The Q5 has good filled arches that look fancy and expensive. Cheap small wheels are a big mistake. Fill those arches and look posh.
@cinch20 күн бұрын
I would agree with you but in testing we found that the taller suspension travel (causing the arches to look unfilled) is a contributor to the great ride comfort. This has the effect of making the wheels look small but if they were any bigger and heavier, they would transfer more forces to the cabin. Bonus fact: smaller wheels = cheaper tyres. Which lines up nicely with the value proposition of the car. /Jamil

Hey, Sam hasn't been paid by MG to promote this car, this is a purely editorial video review. Don't forget, the HS in our video is completely different to your last-generation one; the engine is totally new too. So it's not the same at all as your car. Hope this clears things up 😀
