  • 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.

      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.

      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)...

    Hi Tom, great video. What was the build quality of the cabin like? I.e. were there a lot of rattles and squeaks?

    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.

    • @TheAutoDad
      @TheAutoDad  4 года назад

      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.

    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.

    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.

    what is the transmission type? it is 6dct or at at your country? In china it is 6dct with 2 .0 liter turboo engine.

    • @TheAutoDad
      @TheAutoDad  4 года назад

      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.

    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?

      Truthfully, entirely down to exactly what you're looking for - however, the Sportage may prove to be more reliable in the long run.

    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
