    MG HS Australia

    The HS is Chinese brand MG’s entry into one of Australia’s most competitive new car segments, the mid-size SUV market

    Having only launched here in 2020, it’s already a popular option with one in 20 new mid-size SUVs bought in the sub-$60,000 segment being an MG HS.

    While it generally aims to undercut established rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 with a lower price, it still has some relatively well-equipped variants, an option of 1.5- or 2.0-litre petrol engines, and even a plug-in hybrid variant.

    The line-up currently starts at $29,990 for the HS Vibe and ranges through to $36,990 for the range-topping HS Essence X.
