My 2022 HS PHEV Exclusive has virtually everything this has but also has a panoramic sun roof. The new phev with 75 miles range is a great upgrade. Currently mine has a 35 mile range. So that’s a great improvement.
Absolutely great looking car inside and out. You really feel like you're in a premium vehicle when in it, unlike its more expensive counterparts by other manufacturers. Ordered mine today and can't wait for it to arrive, and this review was really helpful in me making the decision.
MG have really taken up a notch ...this new model is stunning ...i have a 2024 outgoing HS Trophy manual and i love it ...this one will sell like hotcakes here in the uk im sure ....great review
Nice review bro. I've driven a ZS in Italy as a rental and it was a verry nice experience. When I found out how cheap that is I was shocked for all the features it packs like the safety ones, thepanoramic sunroof, decent boot capacity. For me, the value is insane. As for the HS, yeah, I love it. More expensive, but more of everything as well. It sits in pole for our next car.
Why are so many new cars still not equipped with wireless CarPlay? But then they give you a wireless charger - what’s the point? And why have MG done away with their Panoramic roof on top models?
Pitchitlike its the best ever but No frickin sunroof , this happened too the previous tweaked 2023 model which was made in Thailand and i guess this new look model is from thailand where the right hand drives dont get a sunroof THAT the original 2019 model had in exclusive form , tut tut. mg
I’ve never been a huge fan of crossovers, but after driving the MG One, MG HS, and MG ZS a few times, I’ve got to admit they’re pretty appealing. Now, choosing between the MG HS and the Mitsubishi Outlander is turning into a real challenge.
Excellent review. Do we have any info on the upcoming hybrid+ version? Will it be powered from the same 1,5 100hp ice (seems underpowered for a full sized suv) or we gonna see an upgraded version like the one used in the phev variant?
I currently own a 2023 MG HS Trophy, and while I’m generally pleased with it, there are a few drawbacks I've noticed compared to the previous model: The older model featured real exhaust tailpipes that looked fantastic; I’m not sure why they decided to remove them. I do appreciate the larger boot, as the previous model’s was quite small. The outgoing model had storage area and cup holders in the rear center console, however this one only has cup holders. They also eliminated the cool box from the center console, which is a disappointing change. Aside from these points, everything else is perfect.
Cheaper and easier to be engineered. Almost same smooth Amt , less friction ...so better MPG's. Talking about DCT made by MG, it's better than previous version as it's oil bath Dct
AMT? As in Automated Manual Transmissions? Drive a DCT then a AMT back to back and you’ll see why in fact most manufacturers use DCT or DCT derivatives
@@123silentassassin I might be using wrong term here. I got Camry and it got 6 speed automatic transmission. The problem with DCT i read is that it gets hot quickly if we drive in traffic situation and crawls.

Everyone goes on about the incredible value. But what about reliability and durability of the build and the component parts 3-4-5 years down the track?
No, just a PHEV version, followed by a Hybrid+ model in early 2025. However, MG does have a new ZS EV replacement due soon, as well as a larger EV SUV (Marvel-R perhaps) due in 2025 too.
If you have a member of the family that is NHS, police, fire service or armed forces you can get aprox £4000 off with the infinity scheme. I have the 2024 HS can thoroughly recommend.
Good looking car but the last model only came out a year or two ago, how long before this one is replaced and if it hasn’t got a sunroof then it’s a no from me.
Would like to see you drive it in crawling bumper to bumper traffic, the 7 speed Dct is Horrible in heavy traffic and trying to reverse smoothly up hilly driveways.
Why do so few cars have sunroofs nowadays. I’ve never bought a car without one and never will. Sometimes you don’t want air on on all the time sometimes it’s nice to have some sunlight
@@Sarvesh2910 just a few years back neatly all 'luxury' cars had sunroofs it must have added weight then so that wouldn't really be an excuse for not having one
I also hate that every country outside the UK gets sunroof with this car, but we don't. I suspect the luxury car tax threshold is a factor in the UK. MG might have tried to keep the price below the threshold by excluding the sunroof? Edit: The threshold is 40K, so probably this does not explain.
Nah the truth is microchips and cost if you have a sunroof on most cars not starting price is £999 extra, takes extra months to build so you wait forever.
@TheFairway8 I just saw some MG HS PHEV forums where multiple users are complaining about the sunroof leaking into the car. I understand the damage is usually extensive, and some users claim the warranty did not cover their repairs. So, there are many different explanations why the sunroof was excluded in the UK.
You are, but given that our channel is called GoEV, it would be remiss of us to not mention the PHEV version which is basically the same but with a bigger EV range and more BHP.
Why do you need a heat pump on a car that’s mostly going to run on petrol power? Have you just read a few articles and now feel like you’re a Heat Pump expert?
@@MarthaMansbridge I drive my Octavia IV on 80% only electric so a heat pump is very important for me the way I drive a PHEV. Also it´s very nice to be able to cool the car before you should use it in the summer. So you can loose your sarkasm, there is people that can use a PHEV the right way
Why would they have a wireless charging pad when the Android Auto and Apple Car Play are wired anyway? I'm surprised the 2025 doesn't have wireless. They should have either updated and use wireless connection or used that charging zone for extra storage.
@@AsentrixYT Check your sentence before criticising some one else. I follow yearly reliability surveys by WhatCar and Auto express unlike you who is poor at it.
As soon I fancy one they facelift it no thanks they should of stayed with the last model design for the trophy otherwise whats the point of paying extra for the trophy for 1inch bigger wheels nah.

No problem 👍
Just ordered mine today. Very nice
Good choice!
Very good review covering what you REALLY need to know.
Me gusta más el anterior, tiene un frontal mucho más agresivo. También prefiero los asientos con reposa cabezas integrados.

Looks the business to me I like perforated seats reminds me of seats in MK2 Capri GT which is a good point. I love this.

Excellent value. Don’t care about the badge. But USB A in 2024??

Brilliant review
Waiting for Kodiaq 2 PHEV alternative hopefully with 4x4.
So beautiful car
It really is!
MG seem to see their brand as being more British than Chinese and becoming more restrictive on what they spec their cars with nowadays.
Świetny model!
Great review! Such a better looking car compared to the last version. “Meaty” 🍖
Everyone goes on about the incredible value. But what about reliability and durability of the build and the component parts 3-4-5 years down the track?
I’m confused why they haven’t sold it as a hybrid + option like the new 3 and upcoming new gen ZS ?
There is a Hybrid version due early 2025.
@@ChorleyGroup amazing!!
What kind of watch is that on your hand?
It's a Huawei Watch-GT2. Fairly old and basic smart watch by today's standards, but it still lasts about 2 weeks between charges!
Great review….Is there a full EV version due..?
No, just a PHEV version, followed by a Hybrid+ model in early 2025. However, MG does have a new ZS EV replacement due soon, as well as a larger EV SUV (Marvel-R perhaps) due in 2025 too.
@@ChorleyGroup thanks… I’ve never seen a ZS and a HS together but noticed they are so similar so guess that the ZS is the EV version..?
The HS is quite a bit bigger than the ZS. Think Qashqai to Juke.
@@ChorleyGroup ok thanks… 😊
As much as I'd like to, I can't consider this a fair and unbiased review. After all, Chorley Group sell these cars.....
True, but Miles isn't on commission. And he doesn't even like ICE cars 😂
It's a shame they didn't ditch the DCT for proper auto transmission.
If you have a member of the family that is NHS, police, fire service or armed forces you can get aprox £4000 off with the infinity scheme. I have the 2024 HS can thoroughly recommend.
Why
Why not wait until the 'spark' model is here to do review... not punt it when you're on about the petrol model.
Good looking car but the last model only came out a year or two ago, how long before this one is replaced and if it hasn’t got a sunroof then it’s a no from me.
Front bumper looks like Ford Kuga ST
I guess I am the only one, but I prefer the design of the outgoing model on both the interior and exterior. It had Mercedes vibes going on.
Would like to see you drive it in crawling bumper to bumper traffic, the 7 speed Dct is Horrible in heavy traffic and trying to reverse smoothly up hilly driveways.
Similar styling at the front lights, rear and side of the Atto 3....😮
Wow....the new china MG dustbin is out!!!!!!😂
Much nicer than the vw tiguan

You are, but given that our channel is called GoEV, it would be remiss of us to not mention the PHEV version which is basically the same but with a bigger EV range and more BHP.
No heat pump on the PHEV? That´s a dealbreaker for me so no MG for me.

I like that !
Yeah.... That little nanny cam that's always watching would get some masking tape over it immediately.
Don't understand why they first redesigned the HS rather than their crowd darling ZS which is already ageing
ZS will be implemented as well ...HS is the leading Car, so the show off is done as first.

Could we address the elephant in the room. Does it still surge violently and dangerously when you put your foot gently on the accelerator?
For gentle cars, get Dacia, full accelerations give you a wheelchair feeling. Though, I do not think MG is any closer to Urus.
Is this the facelift as EV.
Why would they have a wireless charging pad when the Android Auto and Apple Car Play are wired anyway? I'm surprised the 2025 doesn't have wireless. They should have either updated and use wireless connection or used that charging zone for extra storage.
It is worth mentioning that this car is not a real MG, but a Roewe RX5 re-logged (also SAIC).

Why didnt the British government buy MG. Why does it take the Chinese to save MG? Are British government broke and incompetent?
i had two 2023 mg hs on hire cars , both were horid cars and worst cars ive ever drove in my life , i hope they improved them lol
Old HS was way down on the way. New PHEV HS is definiitly a good Car , worth the money. Technically a lot better than RR Evoque , just as an example
Rental cars are generally the worst cars.
The new one is an entirely different car though but not sure about the improvement.
