The 2023 MG HS Excite is a mid-size family crossover that offers the cabin dimensions and performance of a larger SUV at a price typical of much smaller vehicles. It features an overall length of 4,574 mm, a width of 1,876 mm, a height of 1,685 mm, and a 2,720 mm wheelbase, providing generous legroom for rear-seat passengers. Power comes from a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 162 PS and 250 Nm of torque, available with a six-speed manual or a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. The cargo area yields a boot capacity of 463 litres with the rear seats raised, expanding to 1,275 litres when the 60/40 split rear seats are folded down. Standard equipment on the Excite trim includes a 10.1-inch central touchscreen infotainment system, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, integrated satellite navigation, a rear parking camera, and keyless entry with push-button start. Safety systems built into the standard MG Pilot suite feature active emergency braking, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and blind-spot detection. The vehicle includes a manufacturer-backed transferable warranty valid for seven years or 80,000 miles.
