Description

The MG HS 1.5 T-GDI Excite 5dr Hatchback (71 Plate) is a compact SUV that offers a practical, stylish, and affordable option in the increasingly competitive crossover segment. With its turbocharged engine, high-tech features, and spacious interior, the MG HS is designed to appeal to buyers seeking a well-rounded vehicle with a good mix of performance and value. The Excite trim offers an excellent entry point for the HS range, offering impressive technology, safety features, and a surprisingly premium feel for the price.Performance and EfficiencyUnder the hood, the MG HS 1.5 T-GDI Excite is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine that produces 162 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. This engine offers a decent amount of power, allowing the HS to accelerate from 0-60 mph in around 8.6 seconds. It?s quick enough for day-to-day driving, whether it?s city commuting, highway cruising, or overtaking slower traffic. The power delivery is smooth, and the turbocharged engine ensures a punchy and responsive drive, particularly when you need to accelerate quickly.Paired with a 6-speed manual transmission (the Excite trim doesn?t come with an automatic option), the MG HS provides a satisfying driving experience. The manual gearbox feels precise, and while it might not be the most refined transmission in its class, it gets the job done with no issues. The steering is light and easy to handle, making parking and maneuvering through tight spaces hassle-free.Fuel efficiency is also quite good for an SUV of this size and engine type, with the MG HS 1.5 T-GDI achieving an average of around 35-40 mpg depending on driving style and conditions. This is decent for its class, and the vehicle?s CO2 emissions are reasonable for a petrol-powered SUV, making it a relatively eco-friendly choice in comparison to other compact crossovers.Interior and ComfortInside, the MG HS impresses with a spacious, modern cabin that feels far more premium than its price tag suggests. The Excite trim offers a well-equipped interior, featuring soft-touch materials and a simple yet elegant design. The central touchscreen is large, at 10.1 inches, and it dominates the dashboard, offering a clear and user-friendly interface for media, navigation, and climate control.The seats are comfortable, with plenty of support for both the driver and passengers. The front seats are adjustable, ensuring drivers can find their ideal driving position, and there?s plenty of legroom and headroom in both the front and rear of the cabin. The rear seats are spacious enough for adults, and the flat floor means there?s no intrusive tunnel, offering additional comfort for rear passengers.The boot space is generous, providing 463 litres of cargo capacity, which is great for a family SUV. This makes the MG HS a practical choice for those who need to transport luggage, sports equipment, or groceries. Additionally, the rear seats fold down easily to expand the boot space even further, allowing you to carry larger items.Technology and FeaturesThe MG HS 1.5 T-GDI Excite comes well-equipped with technology that enhances both convenience and entertainment. The 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system includes features such as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, allowing easy integration of smartphones for navigation, music, and calls. The system is intuitive and responsive, providing an easy-to-use interface for drivers.In terms of audio, the MG HS offers a decent 6-speaker sound system, providing clear sound quality for music, podcasts, and phone calls. While the system may not have the premium sound quality of some higher-end vehicles, it delivers satisfactory performance for everyday use.Other tech features include Bluetooth connectivity, USB ports, and DAB radio, which add to the convenience of driving the MG HS. The MG Pilot suite of advanced driver-assistance features includes lane-departure warning, adaptive cruise control, and automatic emergency braking, all of which add an extra layer of
