I really like this new model, it looks good value for the money. The PHEV version is only 5% BIK rate so would be a good choice for company car drivers. Great video Sam. Looks like you had fun!
I like it too, yes I think the PHEV should be a very popular choice especially as it has an official EV range of 75 miles! I’m glad you enjoyed my video, thanks for watching 😄
Hello I can't stop watching your video I'm getting more info from you than the car dealer here in the UK and you keep me excited as I wait for the order. I was told a delivery would be mid October 2024 but everytime I search on Google it says 3 month, do you have any advice as that's far too long, do you have any accuracy on this for the UK? I appreciate that there is a Typhoon storm going on in China at present 😊
MG are really stepping up their game ..i think this new model is stunning...it'll sell just as well if not better than its previous model here the u.k. I'm sure
@Carcode Loving all your videos. Can I ask, does the Trophy and SE come with spare wheel in the boot as I read somewhere online that some new cars don't anymore. Keep up the good work 🎉
Superb review and its clear you know your stuff. Been looking at this model for a little while and think I will go for it. You have another subscriber, thank you!
I have a question, and I need an honest and clear answer. plzzz help : Is it reliable as the Japanese cars or will it have problems after only a year or two in terms of engine performance and other mechanics, paint , the interior room etc... 2) also does it provide a steady and smooth ride or is it bad around corners or highways? Am asking all this bez heard some complaints in these terms am not sure if this model has same problem or they got them fixed. I want to buy one because it is so good for the price but am scared to lose this value and have to sell incase any of these problems occur
Very good review. One of the best that I ve seen so far. Plenty of detail and relevant opinions. It seems a lot of car for the money. Pity about wired carplay as most are wireless these days. The spy in the cab camera might get annoying with its "take a coffee" bongs but overall with a 7 yr warranty it hard to knock the value.
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed my review and found it informative. Yes, wireless CarPlay would be good. You can turn off the attention monitor too but you have to do so each time you start the car. The 7 year warranty sounds good, but doesn’t cover many things past 3 years so it’s on par with most manufacturers who offer a 3 year warranty. All that being said, it is still very good value for money & the hybrid models should be even more compelling 👍🏻
Good question! The BYD Sealion 6, known as the Seal U here in the UK, has just arrived and I’ve not reviewed it yet. However I did see it at the Geneva Motor Show earlier in the year and I was impressed. I prefer the design of the MG (even though the BYD looks like a Porsche Cayenne which is nice) I’d have to drive both to say which I preferred, the BYD is a more expensive car so instead of going for a new brand I’d probably choose a more established brand. However the MG undercuts most of its rivals so I’d pick the HS!
Both front & rear parking sensors on the UK Spec SE model , confirmed by MG & rear passenger lights , great addition to SE . MG obviously listening to customers!!.
Yes it is unfortunate that it doesn’t have a sunroof, 42 isn’t bad but most modern SUVs can achieve quite a bit higher, still the HS is incredible value 👍🏻
If someone blindfolded you, and then put you in a car you might be getting kidnapped 🤣🤣 classic carcode blooper right there Sam 😁👏🏻 It looks a huge improvement over the last HS but no more Holborn Blue 🥺😢 that was a brilliant colour let’s hope MG gives us some jazzier colours as those are all just a bit bland. The safety assist systems are all just getting too much these days too. Something constantly beeping at you to watch the road whilst you’re trying to drive is just crazy. It’s like lane keep assist systems that fight you on back roads. Work fine on motorways but for driving anywhere else they are unbearable 😬 Apart from that it looks like a sound enough proposition from MG so I expect the new HS will sell well for them. Brilliant work as always Sam 👏🏻👏🏻🫶🏻
Definitely a huge improvement from before! I’m crossing my fingers for some more fun colours 🤞🏻 Yes, I was glad to learn that the attention monitor can be turned off, it just has to be done every time you start the car. Thanks for watching Richard! I’m glad you enjoyed 😄
It’s a point, but hardly a dealbreaker. I’d be more irritated that there’s no sunroof option like they get in Aus and NZ and having to Fanny around in the screen for climate and heated seats.
Not sure why your channel hasn’t more subs, really well put together and explained. Lots of detail given well done keep up the great videos
Aw thank you! That’s really lovely to hear. My hard work is starting to pay off gradually 😊

Great review! Is there a long delay when you press the accelerator as in the previous model?
Thanks! Not that I noticed, no 👍🏻
Well done, young man that was just a great review.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it!

Definitely! I’m sure it will be a success for MG
Hello, nice video. Can I ask? Is the lower spec HS 2024 SE does it have the same alloy wheel style as the higher spec as in your video?
Thank you! For now in the UK yes, all wheels are the same on both models, however that could change on the future as it did with the previous model.
@@Carcode thank you

Thank you Alasdair! Yes the new HS is a massive improvement, have you test driven one yet?

Comparing this to BYD Sealion 6, which would you pick?

Really good video well done like the car, shame they are not doing a full EV version say 90kw battery 😢
Glad you liked it! There is the PHEV, but a full EV version would be good to see.
Both front & rear parking sensors on the UK Spec SE model , confirmed by MG & rear passenger lights , great addition to SE .
MG obviously listening to customers!!.
Absolutely!
I wish they still did the sunroof I have the preface lift auto hs an on a long journey I get 42/42.5 if use eco on long journey
Yes it is unfortunate that it doesn’t have a sunroof, 42 isn’t bad but most modern SUVs can achieve quite a bit higher, still the HS is incredible value 👍🏻
Nice review 👌
Thank you 😊
Brought mine today. So many extras over the previous mg
Lovely what spec and colour did you go for? There is plenty more features yes!

Excellent review
Thanks!
Would the gloss black cladding chip and mark easily ?
It looks like a really big car. how tall are you?
Is it quite big! I’m 5’8
@@Carcode thanks for the information and great review :)
What's the towing weights on this model?
No interior ambient lighting though, on a top spec car in 2024! The pervious model did, why not this one?
It’s a point, but hardly a dealbreaker. I’d be more irritated that there’s no sunroof option like they get in Aus and NZ and having to Fanny around in the screen for climate and heated seats.
How about sound system?
I hope MG will come to the Bulgarian and Baltic markets by 2025.
I just bought the previous model here, like the previous model's chair better
Not impressed with preview didn't realy go over board with the inside of the car or boot capacity to me the preview was rushed
I stopped in 2 minutes very annoying person. Colors of the car? Ludicrous!
Avoid
How? Its an all new generation of car
Why?
