- The 2020 MG HS is a new offering into the crossover segment, a surprisingly luxurious SUV which doesn't have a massive price tag. Powered by a 1.5 petrol, the HS returns good economy and performance - but how does it do in every day life? Have MG out done themselves with the HS? Is the HS better than the GS or MG3? Find out in this episode of Music Motors as we put the 2020 MG HS to the test.

2019 2020 MG HS Petrol Auto DCT Manual UK SAIC Chinese GS MG3 Music Motors Tom Kent
Would you own an MG HS?
Yeah, collecting next month
Im hoping to convince the good lady to accompany me to our nearest dealer next week. I'm hoping a sniff around the crappy new Quashqai will be enough to get her to look at an HS.
Yep ordered mine pearl white exclusive red and black leather interior, pick up Jan 21 xx
I test drove one today and was totally impressed!! The feel of high-end quality in its plush interior is surreal and puts competition to shame! The drive is decently swift off the mark too! Not much body roll around corners. Composed. This model actually won SUV Of The Year(Sgcarmart)...
offcourse, its a wonderful car!!!
For me, MG will always be British brand despite being owned by a Chinese group, they are still a respectable brand in the world of automotive
Definitely respectable!
Picking mine up tomorrow. Black red interior auto I can’t wait
woow enjoy
How is it going on with you?
I'm thinking about getting one on the next few days
I’m seriously considering the brand again after I’ve got my hands on one zs. Kudos MG
Surprisingly good now, right?
TomKentMusic Yes, indeed!
My dad will be going to order it for Motability hopefully when the dealer reopens and we can take her for a quick test drive .
Sounds like a plan!
Hi ya picked mine up 27th Jan 2021 absolutely love it ive got the exclusive in white with the red leather trim , it is fab the android play or apple if you've got that it's great , better on petrol on the motorway, but one of my favourite cars by far xx
Hi Tom, great video. What was the build quality of the cabin like? I.e. were there a lot of rattles and squeaks?
Alarmingly good, considering the price point. Relatively silent!
Nice review. MG do seem to be improving model on model and the Chinese owners are quickly getting to grips with European standards. Just need to work on the engine range now.
Yeah, the engine range could be a bit more ambitious.
Exciting stuff going on in China, reminds me of the early US/UK auto industries; lot's of companies, lot's of creativity. I have a hunch we will soon start to see enthusiast offerings, hope those come to the US.
The enthusiast offerings will be MAD!
Ambient cabin lighting? Hill start? Lane control?
I'd have to refer to the spec sheet to see, drove this a loooong time ago. :)
I think choosing the manual shift is essential when DSG can be hard to get used to.
The DSG is supposed to be great, I’ve not tried it. The manual is fantastic though.
a unique car, definitely something to consider!!
Agreed!
also ambient lighting and a sunroof
Yeah im planning to own hs by this month. However, any issue with this car until i wrote this comment?
The spare tier in underneath the plastic tray .
UK models don’t get this. Only a tyre weld and pump. :)
How about the ground clearance of MG HS ?
175 mm
Nice review. I will have one when they make it full EV with at least 55kwh battery.
I have a feeling that, if this continues to sell well, the ZS EV platform will be adapted - a good place to start.
Shame that you get the spec levels the wrong way around. Explore is bottom then Excite and top is Exclusive, you kept referring to the Excite as being bottom spec. Otherwise a good review.
In Australia it goes (base) the vibe, (middle range) the excite, (high end) is the essence
I believe I went off the spec sheets. :)
@@TheAutoDad you did , Neil is incorrect , the explore is no longer for sale
I have been on the MG site to configure this car and it states that the first years VED is £870, what does it drop down to after the first year?
what is the transmission type? it is 6dct or at at your country? In china it is 6dct with 2 .0 liter turboo engine.
In the UK it’s auto (DCT) or 6-speed manual without the 2.0 engine. I guess the smaller one for Europe is for emissions.
In europe they use the engine from MG6 1.5 turbo 7 dct
Thanks very much for this Tom, I think that you have just made up my mind for me. Have vieweed this one in autmatic today, was very impressed and got a test drive next week. I am trying to compare with offerings allmost parallel with Vauxhall, Suzuki, Honda, Peugot, Renault (But just bombed out the Captur after 4 Months, one of the worst cars ever). Anyway the only real competitor is probably the Peujot, but with the French attitude at the moment we are probably going tohave supply problems with them Waiting for delivery of 2021 MG HS 1.5 Auto is at least 6 months, at the moment thing the Excite but who knows might just treat myself to the Exclusive or should I go electric?
Just ditched the fiat 500l ,this is defo my next car :)
What would you choose between Kia sportage and MG HS?
Truthfully, entirely down to exactly what you're looking for - however, the Sportage may prove to be more reliable in the long run.
@@TheAutoDad but a lot more expensive
My next car on Motability.
Amazing! Have you ordered yet?
I've ordered mine on motability pick up jan 21 exclusive auto Pearl white with red interior x
@@TheAutoDad yes i did , it will be here on January
@@lisacook37 hi Lisa , just about to order Farringdon red with black interior with cross red stitching , how is it ?
Is doing gigs your full time job?
Alongside production music for TV & films, driving for manufacturers and lecturing! :)
When penguins come back to feed their chicks they have to distinguish their offspring from all the others,
SUV drivers would have to be the same when they park in the mall car-park!
Good review Sir!
Thanks. :)
He is driving a manual which misses out on so many things and plus there is a spare tire under the plastic storage bin. In the boot and there is heaps more space as from what I have seen in Australia so I think the car has different tweeks between countries
Different countries will definitely have different setups. Shame we get all the rubbish under the boot haha.
Would call this a British or a Chinese car?
I would like to know the real dimensions of this MG,it'nt omthe italian market for the moment....
Which dimensions would you like to know?
New HS changed front shape
Since this one? For the UK market, this is the newest one. :)
In my country Chile the board is more beautiful and it is all digital
That’s interesting! Fully digital and no dials?
TomKentMusic yes, no dials
It desperately needs larger wheels and rear privacy glass.
