SAS23 MY24 Essence X Wagon 5dr DCT 6sp AWD 2.0T The once-British but now Chinese-owned brand MG contests the mid-size SUV category with its well-built, well-equipped and commodious mid-size MG HS. Falling well short of class leaders including Mitsubishi Outlander, Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5, the three-model HS range offers base Vibe, mid-spec Excite and top-spec Essence variants. Powerplants include a front-drive 119kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbo four with a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and an AWD 168kW/360Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol with a six-speed dual-clutch auto. A comprehensive rollout of five-star safety tech includes high and low-speed AEB, pedestrian avoidance and lane-keep assist, while sat-nav is standard from Excite onwards.
