2025 MG HS: Australian pricing for new-generation SUV

The new-generation 2025 MG HS is now on sale in Australia, with substantial updates across design, technology, and powertrain options.

The redesigned 2025 HS introduces a new platform and feature set, reflecting MG’s direction in the hugely competitive midsize SUV category.

The new HS offers two powertrain choices, upgraded safety tech, and expanded interior space.

Engine and powertrain options

The 2024 HS model features a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine, producing 125kW of power and 275Nm of torque, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch transmission in all variants.

MG also plans to release a plug-in hybrid (PHEV) variant later this year, which will offer a lower-emission, petrol-electric option across all three trims.

The hybrid setup is aimed at maximising fuel efficiency while delivering comparable performance to the petrol model.

Features

The entry-level Vibe variant includes 18-inch alloy wheels and automatic LED headlights, as well as a 12.3-inch touchscreen that supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Upgrading to the Excite adds 19-inch alloy wheels, along with 360-degree camera coverage, built-in satellite navigation, and remote-control access to the air conditioning through MG’s iSmart app.

The Essence model, as the top-spec offering, adds a panoramic sunroof, an eight-speaker audio system, and wireless charging for compatible devices. The Essence also gets dual-zone climate control and heated front seats.

Interior and space improvements

With a longer wheelbase than previous models – up from 2720mm to 2765mm in this new generation – the 2025 MG HS offers increased interior space.

The boot is also now larger than before. Where the previous model offered 463 litres with the rear seats up and 1287 litres when laid flat, the new model boosts those numbers to 507 litres and 1484 litres, respectively.
