    • Seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission
    • 5-star ANCAP safety rating
    • Increased interior space
    • Up to 1,484L of cargo capacity with the rear seats folded

    The result is an SUV that feels significantly more premium while remaining focused on value.

    Why Buyers Are Choosing the MG HS

    Real-World Practicality

    The 2025 MG HS offers 507 litres of boot space, expanding to 1,484 litres with the rear seats folded down.

    That's enough room for:

    • A large pram
    • A weekly grocery shop
    • School bags and sports gear
    • A couple of suitcases for a weekend away

    For families, weekend adventurers or anyone needing everyday flexibility, the HS offers plenty of usable space without feeling oversized around town.

    Modern Styling

    One area where the new HS has made a huge leap is styling. 

    Standout styling features include:

    • Bold front grille
    • Sleek LED lighting
    • Clean body lines
    • Modern SUV proportions

    The result is an SUV that looks right at home alongside many more expensive competitors.

    Strong Value for Money

    The MG HS continues to attract buyers by combining modern safety technology, family-friendly practicality and a generous features list at a competitive price point.

    Is the MG HS Safe?

    The 2025 MG HS carries a 5-star ANCAP safety rating and comes equipped with MG's advanced MG Pilot Safety Suite.

    Key safety features include:

    • Adaptive Cruise Control
    • Autonomous Emergency Braking
    • Blind Spot Detection
    • Rear Cross Traffic Alert
    • Traffic Sign Recognition

    Is the MG HS Reliable?

    Like any used car, reliability comes down to factors such as service history, maintenance and overall condition. That's why it's important to check the vehicle's servicing record and ensure routine maintenance has been carried out.

    MG has now been established in Australia for many years, meaning servicing support, parts availability and dealer networks are far more widespread than they once were. Combined with its modern technology, strong safety credentials and practical design, the MG HS has quickly become a popular choice amongst Australian SUV buyers.

    Which MG HS Model Would We Choose?

    Each model offers something different:

    • Vibe: Best for buyers who want maximum value without compromising on safety or essential technology.
    • Excite: Best for buyers looking for the strongest balance of features, styling and value.
    • Essence: Best for buyers who want premium extras such as a panoramic sunroof, heated seats and a power tailgate.

    Our Pick: The MG HS Excite

    It includes some of the most useful everyday upgrades over the Vibe. At the same time, it avoids a significant jump in features and price for items that not every buyer needs, such as a panoramic sunroof, heated seats and wireless charging. For many drivers, the Excite delivers the sweet spot in the range, offering a more premium look and feel while maintaining excellent value for money.

    Final Verdict

    The 2025 MG HS represents a significant step forward for MG. It combines modern styling, strong safety credentials, practical family-friendly space and a generous list of standard features across the range.
