July 01, 2024 by Jamie Edkins
Car changing is a big deal
MG’s popular HS SUV is due for replacement, and the new car will be revealed at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed.
- New MG HS coming this month
- Next-generation SUV gets overhauled styling
- Petrol and plug-in hybrid engines available
- PHEV could have more than 70 miles of range
- Full reveal at the Goodwood Festival of Speed
This is your first look at the new MG HS, the brand’s alternative to family SUVs like the Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tiguan.
Details are thin on the ground at the moment, although it has been confirmed that the new HS will be available with petrol and plug-in hybrid engines.
New MG HS design
These darkened silhouettes are your first glimpse at the new MG HS, and you can make out quite a few of this SUV’s design details.
The sleek LED headlights aren’t too dissimilar to the ones found on the MG3 hatchback, and the lower bumper appears to be sporting some aggressive-looking air intakes. There’s something a bit Toyota RAV4-ish about the side profile as well thanks to the sloping roofline.
The rear end is dominated by a full-width light bar, which gives this budget-friendly car a Lotus Eletre vibe. The steeply-raked rear window and reasonably large roof spoiler suggest that this will be a more sporty-looking SUV than the current HS.
New MG HS engines
We don’t know much about what’s under the bonnet of the new MG HS yet, other than to say there will be petrol and plug-in hybrid options.
MG promises “unmatched all-electric range for the class” from the plug-in hybrid model. Cars from the Volkswagen Group like the VW Tiguan and Skoda Kodiaq have up to 62 miles of EV range, so the HS should have more than this if these claims are true.
New MG HS price and release date
The new MG HS will be revealed in full at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on Thursday 11 July, so you can expect sales to start before the end of the year.
As for price, the current HS is one of the best-value SUVs on the market with its sub-£25,000 price tag, and this new one should offer similar bang for buck. Expect a starting price closer to £27,000.
