MG HS 2025 - The SUV Set to Challenge the Reign of the RAV4!
The next-generation MG mid-sized SUV is set to shake up the Australian market this September, introducing exciting new features and improvements. But if you're hoping for the plug-in hybrid version, you’ll need to wait a little longer. While the petrol versions will hit showrooms soon, the plug-in hybrid models are expected to launch in the first half of 2025. This has created a sense of anticipation, especially as the current MG HS Plus EV winds down, with Australian dealerships offering special runout deals.
As stock of the outgoing models remains available through the end of the year, fans of MG can look forward to exciting changes ahead. Though full specifications for the Australian version of the new MG HS lineup are still under wraps, insights from the United Kingdom offer a preview of what’s likely to come.
In the UK, the new MG HS plug-in hybrid pairs a 105-kilowatt 1.5-liter petrol engine with a powerful 154-kilowatt electric motor. The combination is supported by a 24.7-kilowatt-hour battery, delivering an impressive acceleration that reaches zero to one hundred kilometers per hour in just 6.8 seconds. The plug-in hybrid model offers a substantial electric-only range of up to 121 kilometers, though the specific test cycle used for this calculation hasn’t been disclosed. Additionally, the vehicle comes equipped with vehicle-to-load technology, allowing drivers to power external devices directly from the car.
For those opting for the petrol-powered versions, there are two engine choices. The lineup starts with a 125-kilowatt turbocharged 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, generating 275 newton meters of torque and paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The more powerful option features a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine matched with a nine-speed automatic transmission, providing additional performance for those seeking more power.
Beyond powertrains, the new MG HS is designed to offer more space and cutting-edge technology. The SUV has grown in almost every dimension, now measuring 4655 millimeters in length and 1890 millimeters in width, with a wheelbase stretched to 2750 millimeters. These increases provide more room inside, including a boot capacity that has expanded to 507 liters, up by 44 liters compared to the previous model.
Inside, drivers will be greeted by dual 12.3-inch displays, seamlessly integrated to serve both as the digital instrument cluster and infotainment touchscreen. This modern, tech-forward setup promises to enhance the driving experience.
While the Australian-specific features have not yet been confirmed, top models in the United Kingdom include a surround-view camera, power tailgate, six-way power driver’s seat, an eight-speaker sound system, and a wireless phone charger. MG has also made safety a priority, with a comprehensive range of advanced features like autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keeping assist, rear cross-traffic alert, adaptive cruise control, speed limit assist, and traffic jam assist.
As MG prepares for this new launch, the brand is likely aiming to regain momentum after a slowdown in sales of the outgoing MG HS Plus EV in 2024. This new SUV, with its expanded features and updated technology, could be the key to MG’s resurgence in the competitive Australian market.
