Jonathan Crouch writes an in-depth MG HS 2023 Review. If you want to watch more reviews on vehicles like this MG HS 2023 Review, make sure to SUBSCRIBE to our channel and comment what YOU want us to review next.
HS here doesn't designate a super-fast rail route but MG's largest SUV, which is offered in both conventionally-engined and PHEV plug-in forms and here features now-smarter exterior styling. As before, it's one of the most spacious mid-sized SUVs you could choose, yet it retails for thousands less than you'd pay for comparably-shaped rivals. The usual MG formula in other words, backed up by the normal lengthy brand warranty.
Background
MG is one of the market's fastest growing brands, with almost all its sales currently being of its compact ZS SUV. This HS model was launched here in 2019 to slot in above that car, enabling the brand to hold on to family buyers who might have out-grown its smaller models. And to target new customers who previously would never have considered MG in this segment.
These people are going to want a higher standard of luxury and sophistication than anything the brand has previously offered - and the HS range sets out to provide just that, especially in this lightly revised sleeker-looking form.

    This was a fair review however after driving many cars 4x more expensive I have ordered the Trophy DCT as quality value for money,drive and looks cannot be touched by any rivals for this price.The amount of kit is very very impressive and the 7 year warranty also gives some piece of mind, with the MG cars presently available and those in the pipeline I can see the MG brand becoming a mainstream brand very soon.

    We're hoping to go with the Skoda Enyaq EV but if we can't for whatever reason, an option was the Kuga. But then I saw the new HS. I didn't like the styling on the old one but this is quite a bit neater. Currently have a Karoq, so it was a bit funny to hear him compare it with that car and the Kuga. There is a car size comparison website and, going by that, the HS isn't actually that far off a Kuga in size.

    Totally agree....the MG HS is a great spacious family car which can "comfortably" sit 3 full grown adults in the back ..I was given the HS last year as a courtesy car as my car was in the garage for repairs for a few weeks ...I found the 1.5 very good on fuel and really pleasant to drive ..for a car of its size it handled smaller roads really well and very smooth...the one niggle I did have with it was I found the infotainment system a tad glitchy but on saying that it was a courtesy car and for being only 2 yrs old it had over one hundred thousand miles on it but it still performed fantasticly apart from that....I also felt that this " reviewer has a grudge against MG for some reason ..he was being pretty harsh on a decent liberally priced well worth the money car for no reason...not everyone can go out and buy an Audi or a BMW

    Hired one last week, it was okay on electric but garbage on the motorway. I got 38 mpg, rubbish compared to my diesel Passat, which does 62 mpg. There is also a huge obstruction to the view through the windscreen with the big sensor and mirror - I think my car would fail its MOT with so bad an obstruction to forward vision. Very poor heating and ventilation too, the car was cold and the windows misted up even with the AC on and the heat turned up to 25c.

    The online brochure states that the SE model has leather STYLE interior in black. The Trophy model has LEATHER interior in black, for an extra £500 you can have a red and black interior but it states once again that it is only leather STYLE. That word STYLE is confusing . One dealer told me that the Trophy model has a REAL leather interior. Two other dealers have stated that the Trophy has a Pleather / leather STYLE interior . Does the Trophy with black only interior really have a real Leather or just Pleather / leather style ?

    Mg hs nice car but they could of done better options, like a diesel engine choice in 1.6 or 2.0 diesel, they could of gave us more interior colour options like brown, white or blue or green leather and a better exterior colour choice would be nice, maybe some brighter eye catching colours, lime green, orange, matt grey, matt purple, solar yellow and a choice of black roof and mirrors like a black pack and maybe a choice of wheel size and style from 18 ,19 or 20. If they gave us these options they would be selling really fast an would attract alot of different buyers too

It becomes very annoying and dangerous, if you need to change stations. Very poor and there is no sight of one being made available. If you still listen to radio. Think bout this car before you buy.

Really slow infotainment system, android auto takes ages to start, no front parking sensors, the power boot if you’re over 5’10 you’ll bang your head, no auto lights when it’s raining and no really DAB radio. So it’s ok but I’m ready for something better.

    MG is litteraly taking the piss of british customers with the Trophy petrol only, top specs options.... No 2L engines available, no auto-sunroof, no fog lights, no other colors for interior (only black & red). Honestly..... Good value for money, but is Rubbish in compare to same Trophy from Asia or other countries..... Also the so called infotainment system is trash! If MG didn't ad one at all and allow customers to attach their own tablet (ex: Samsung Galaxy S8 Ultra) would have been amazing! But nooo, MG needs to do what China and british government wants now.... Very very dissapinted......

That's nearly 2 million units of idle capacity. No wonder they are making every effort to dump on the European markets. In fact they're investing in their own ocean vehicle carriers due to the shipping bottlenecks in moving vast volumes of cars from China to Europe.
