Find your perfect HS

The MG HS delivers excellent value, combining generous equipment levels, a classy interior and good petrol engines. We'd go so far as to say the plug-in hybrid (PHEV) version is a five-star car, because its competitive electric-only range and low pricing brings PHEV ownership well within reach of private buyers. Indeed, it won the PHEV category at our 2025 Car of the Year Awards.

The entry-level trim comes with 19in alloy wheels, cruise control or adaptive cruise control (depending on the gearbox), keyless entry and start, rain-sensing wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror.

With 167bhp, the 1.5T petrol engine has more than enough oomph for everyday driving, but doesn’t pick up quite as quickly as some of its rivals. You can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed automatic one, both of which are passable but not as good as in rivals.
