- Is the MG HS SUV ridiculous... or ridiculously good? ⚡️
Good question...
MG claims their largest SUV offers luxury, lots of space and tech in one affordable package.
But does it really?
In this review I share ALL you need to know about the MG HS SUV and whether the MG HS and the PHEV (plug in hybrid) version are worth the money!
You may be surprised.

Hilarious and brilliantly presented, I ordered a coat from Wish for my wife who's 12 to 14 size , it came in a box no bigger than a big mac box ,absolutely shocking quality. My missus loved your out-fit very smart . Keep up the great content, Keith and Wendy . Thanks .😁
Thanks Keith! Aw bless her. Yeah ‘Wish’ is an appt name isn’t it. 😂 Thanks Keith and Wendy 🙌
Great a reviewer that shows whether the Pan sunroof opens or not on a car,i wish car reviewers would state Sunroof options and if they are fixed or able to open on different car models.
Great work hun, loving the mehndi too!
Waiting for my 72 plate MG HS Exclusive to arrive i the next few weeks! Shame I wanted the 360 but will have to do rear view camera!
I love your wit and personality it’s what makes these videos
Thank you Qasim. Appreciate that!
I own a HS Exclusive and love it. It offers luxury motoring with all the extras and a 5 star Euro Ncap safety rating at a fraction of the cost of other makes. Ours was £21,800 on the road and bought to replace a Nissan Qashqai. Similar size SUV's with all the extras that we looked at (Qashqai, Tiguan, CX5 etc.) were all over £30,000!!!! When did cars get so expensive? We would have had to spend about 50% more to get a similar model from the other manufacturers. The cheapest base model Golf was over £24,000! Anybody worried about buying a Chinese car, DON'T. SAIC, the Chinese manufacturer who owns the MG brand produces about 9 million cars a year and even produces all the Audi ,Volkswagen, Skoda, Chevrolet, Cadillac and Buick cars alongside it's own brands MG, LDV and Roewe for the Asian and Australian markets. They have learnt very quickly how to make good cars and back that up with a 7 year warranty.
Hi Steve
Glad to hear you love your HS! Completely agree. I really don’t like the ‘Chinese’ argument I find it ridiculous. Appreciate you sharing how you feel about your cars. Will definitely help others make their minds up if they’re considering the HS :)
How much is the tax?
@@bonnie159 The car tax is £165 per year.
Just got my MG HS Exclusive & absolutely love it ! Cannot recommend it highly enough. So many high end extras compared to the others of similar size.
Best decision I’ve made in ages 😀 Go for it !
Had my Mg Exclusive for nearly a year now. Love the car really comfy and feels like a higher end car BUT problems i found which really grate me
1. Infotainment has a mind of it’s own and is VERY laggy.
2. The brakes slam on when you are nowhere near other cars especially if they are turning right in a filter lane and you are passing on the left
3. The cruise control will barely ever reduce speed if using the hand stalk so have to turn it off then back on before you close the gap in front too much.
Other than that no complaints and offers a lot for the money.
Good watch. The car you tested was one of the first into the country and was Farrington Red ;) The red stitching on the front headrests is a giveaway! Also, the gear lagging around 40-45mph is a common issue with the Phev but if you are aware can drive through it, and with the 258 horses does not hang around! Love mine.
Good knowledge Tim! Glad to hear you love yours :)
I pick mine up in just over a week. I managed to fit 3 cars seats across in the back which was a big selling point for me. Definitely bigger inside than my current Sportage.
That’s exciting Alice! You’ll have to let me know what you think when you get it :)
Great review! Thank you. I’m currently stuck between this and the be troc eco life. Any thoughts on which way I should sway? Definitely more features on the mg but the troc seems like a better built car and a better drive. Thanks in advance!
Hey amber! You’re welcome. Have you test driven both? What engine are you looking at in T Roc?
I have a few little niggles with mine, the boots is on the small size and the boot doesn’t open high enough if you’re over 6 foot. The infotainment system is slow, but gives me what I need. Over all though I do enjoy driving it.
Excellent review
Love the intro and a brilliant review Abi!
Thanks Mo!
Awesome review, that intro was mint 😂. I have had the 10spd phev for review and i really liked it. It was the space and interior that is a big selling point. Not sure if you had issues with it but I found the powered tailgate was hit and miss and maybe 1 or 2 times out of 5 would actually work. The amount of kit you get and spec, its amazing for the price point.
Thanks Eddie! I agree. Aw that’s a shame. I remember when I’d done it again and again for filming it did it once. Other than that no issue.
Wonderful video !!!
Love it !!!
Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed it :)
Good, creative review 👍
I await with anticipation, your review of the new Gen 4 Outlander PHEV (which is an amazing car in every way)
Do you have one Gavin?
@@SHETALKSCARS Yes, they have been delivered in NZ - and it's an absolute EV beast - love it - averaging 22.7 kWh/100km (88km EV range), 0-100 in 7.0s, no idea on fuel cosumption because we haven't put any petrol in yet, but combined 1.2L/100km
Excellent review.
Had my Hs PHEV just short of a year, when I got it found there was a vibration coming through my right foot when the engine would be running, at 4000 miles this has gone away.
With the car having 10 gears 4 for EV and 6 For ICE running you can find the can over rev if change from EV to ICE running. I spend most of the time driving in town in EV, it’s very quick of the mark and can leave other SUV standing. The best thing is now I have saved coming up to £700 in petrol as from day one any unspent money that would have put in my full ICE car I have put away and also adjust for increase in the petrol cost. I travel 16 miles a day to work and back and charge the car back up to 100% cost £1.35 on a 27p pkwh. I just wish MG did a full EV to this spec as from the 1st July 2022 some spec like the sun roof are going to be removed as a standard.
Hi John. Thanks for sharing. Have you seen the MG ZS EV?
@@SHETALKSCARS
Hi
I had my cer serviced yesterday and the person who sold me the car and we where chatting and he was using one which the radio had not worked for a few days so I a look at it and after doing a reboot it now works. In return he gave it for a hours test drive, I did like it and will be thinking about going full EV as soon as they have this demo up for sale.
Oh my god Abi this is the best review I've watched ahahahahah
Haha thanks Army. Just wanted to do something different. 😂
MG sold more vehicles than Honda in Europe in 2022, and in the UK, France, Spain and Germany, MG’s sales volume was more than double than that of Honda’s.
However, you need to keep in mind that MG is currently not available in all European countries (in 2022 it was, and currently it’s still missing in Switzerland, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Greece). Those nine markets together represented over 9% of the total European volume.
Just changed from a Mg ZS to the PHEV. It is a wonderful on a long run.
Glad to hear it!
Brilliant, if only because your a northerner ! But, taking that away I like the style of your review , not overloading on one for the sake of the other. I often see reviews where it seems like 80% is focused on the inside , and whilst I didn't check this seems really balanced. Why did I watch, well because I'm umming and ahhhhing about a change of car, and the MG seems great value , although I wouldn't go for a PHEV , hybrid something or other yes. Now, could if you've not done already a review of a Citroen C5 Aircross auto, or the new Citroen C5 X
Thanks and have a good day
Hi Andy - haha thank you! Really appreciate the feedback. MG is great value all round. I’ve just filmed the Citroen e-C4 so that will be on the channel next!
Still waiting for my Exclusive petrol version. After having several other marques, the only thing I don't really like is the climate control having to be done onscreen, bit of a pain as requirements doe change whilst driving. But in saying this I am very much looking forward to receiving my ney MG.
The wait is annoying - I bet. It’s all manufacturers though sadly, not just MG. I agree about the touchscreen for climate. I much prefer buttons. Let me know what you think when your MG arrives!
i am looking at mg hs + ev and outlander phev. slightly inclined to buy outlander phev.
How's it handle on country roads and corners and stuff? Is there a lot of body roll? Is the suspension floaty?
There’s some body lean, suspension is more firm than floaty. It corners nicely. It’s not like a German car to drive though by any means. This is a family cruiser!
@@SHETALKSCARS yeah I'm in my early 30s I think I need something that's more engaging lol
@@mharro88 if you want something engaging I don’t think the MG HS is for you. It’s an easy drive but engaging isn’t a word id attribute to it.
I own a hs phev excite and it drive like a dream the mog is amazing I have got 70mpg I know of someone who got 160mpg I can see that happening as the car likes to be driven not thrashed but it is quick 0-60 in 6 seconds.
Glad to hear you like it John. Would you consider going fully electric or not just yet?
@@SHETALKSCARS the wife car is a Nissan leaf 2021 and has loads of toys on it
The price of fuel will go up-substantially. The days of easy access to oil is over, with a of of oil being produced by fracking. the harder the oil is to extract, the more expensive it will be. Plus there are wars and economic disruptions/ collapses like the GFC, the COVID pandemic, etc, which will also influence fuel prices. Not keen on the lack of a spare tire/wheel. It would be my very first "add-on" when I buy.
I can’t open the fuel door on it 2023 1.5 petrol plus hybrid motor it’s hs phev any help appreciated no hand book it’s a rental
Really love mg hs.. still great now…
Glad to hear it!
Weird, it shouldn't be laggy at all? Was it charged, or were you trying to use it on 0% (which you really shouldn't)
I’d had it charged and on 0%
Great review, but you need to invest in the filming equipment. Otherwise you has just put Carwow in your pocket.
Ps. I am in a dilemma of buying a brand new HS exclusive or a 2018 Q5 which is the same price. What to do???? So hard.
Thanks Eduardo.
Depends what’s important to you. Both are great cars. Find out how much an extended manufacturers warranty is on the Q5 and weigh things up? Test drive both and see what you think.
The co2 non PHEV car tax is ridiculously high which is a shame
True. Would you go for the PHEV then Wayne?
@@SHETALKSCARS yeah it feels like the right way forward, keep up the amazing work!
@@wayneheyes904 thank you!
time will tell the best story...
Good video...
Good car...
BAD... As its a PHEV!
BEV is the way to go..
Thank you. They don’t offer this model in BEV sadly. They do offer the MG ZS as BEV… I did a review on that. Brilliant car!
BEV is definitely the future, given that this PHEV has worse fuel economy than a RAV4 hybrid, I would stay away from this one and get a RAV 4 hybrid or a Haval H6 Hybrid if you're not ready for a fully electric car yet. They both have more boot space than the HS. If you use it on electric mode only, you can't go far and will destroy your battery by 100,000kms.
Thinking of purchasing 1 buy not sure about longterm reliablilty😩😩
5 year warranty Junette - so if there's a manufacturer fault it will be sorted in this time
lovet it
Its a cost decision when buying brand new 7 yr warranted. versus a 1 or 2 yr old low miler used 3008 , grandland , nissan quashki , amongst a few others , This mg with a slightly rough boomy and higher polluting petrol engine in a auto gearbox , another trade off is the info set up and slightly weaker electrics
Ps WHAT THE HECK are the mpg ,combined with PHEV numbers ?? given out by the manufacturers. Just Ridiculous. Try a gallon of fuel and a fully charged battery on these , combined to mixed roads you get around. 60 - 65 miles only , until you run out or stop on empty 😢😮
Not as nice as the interior of the Hyundai Tucson where the screen is nicely integrated
I love your accent more than the car.
One car you can buy in Mexico but not the US or Canada.
Is it popular in Mexico Dave?
@@SHETALKSCARS They sold 1,941 of them last year in Mejico.
what does MG means
I watched the Caterham review and thought this lady gets straight to the point, no bullshit, no short skirts, no crop tops, no stupid gimmicks .....Do not get me wrong, I like all these things except stupid gimmicks but a car review is what I wanted to see. I was not disappointed, a nail on the head review that did not waste a second of my time. However, I watched 20 seconds of this and turned it off, for me it does not work. Probably the most successful car channel is Harrys garage. He gets straight to the point, no bullshit, no gimmicks just what you clicked onto. I do realise that you do what you wish with your car reviews and reading the feedback some people loved the start. Maybe having worked in the airline industry for over 33 years, being surrounded by pretty girls for me is set piece, so I see past this.
Hi Paul - appreciate you taking longer than 20 seconds to leave this essay for me.
Particularly enjoyed the backhanded compliment about being pretty and the irrelevant part about your previous time in the airline industry.
Glad you enjoy Harry’s garage. I agree his channel is awesome.
Make sure you stick around for my GR Yaris review (it’s coming). You can compare that with his and then waffle on about airlines again. 😉
See ya soon.
@@SHETALKSCARS The empire strikes back....lol
@@SHETALKSCARS Whether I stick around to watch your next video or not, I doubt very much is going to affect your joie de vivre.
I took the time to express a view rather than just giving a thumbs down or typing "The intro is tripe".
Whether you throw my opinion in the bin, or think about it, or do whatever is your prerogative. However, experience of life has taught me taking time to write constructive text is more helpful than ignorant blurb. It is of course my opinion.
You know as well as I do that on TH-cam a pretty girl can stand and waffle absolute C-rap and get 6 million views.
There is one gentleman who reviewed the TR6 and spouted total bunkem. What some people forget is some of us have owned these cars and are going to get found out. I did correct him, and in all fairness he did not delete my numerous corrections and thanked me for my input. Everyday is a learning day.
I have the time to waffle today as my Girlfriend is cooking dinner, the War Wagon in the background, the football has not yet started and I am editing my latest my video.
Both yourself and your family enjoy the rest of the weekend.
The trouble is if a car reviewer absolutely rubbishes a vehicle, the manufacturer will be reluctant to release another brand new one to critique.
Fortunately I’ve tried this vehicle and I can’t find much to like about it.
Cheers.
@@johnmartin7158 that’s not true John to be honest 😂
Correction: RX8 is MG biggest SUV
In the UK it’s this one.
U look like u got plenty room at the back also
You do. It’s a very spacious car
No their a heap
What is this bloody posh accent come on.
My telephone voice papa Smurf
Nothing Wong with the HS apart from its Chinese could do with all wheel drive option.
I don’t think it being Chinese is anything wrong. Most things in our homes are Chinese.
@@SHETALKSCARS Hi yes your right but their is a difference between £700 apple phone and £29000 Chinese car .For political reasons only I wouldn't want to give the Chinese government my money . What would happen if they invaded Taiwan you won't get parts and you be left with a very heavy paper weight.
Rather have a pram
good luck claiming warranty after they attempt to invade Taiwan (they will)
This girl can't decide if she wants to be a second rate comedian or a reviewer , she should cut the comedy an concentrate on the review.
what a puke of a car. u can't possibly consider buying this
MG- My Goodness. Absolutely gorgeous
Awful car. Had one as a hire car. Flat engine, poorly designed infotainment system, brakes were spongy, visibility out the front awful driving position felt like I was going to smash my head on the roof.
Seats are comfy though.
To each is own. It's not a car you drive fast in and enjoy... it's an a to be car that is ideal for a family. Depends what you want from a car!
I’ve tried it also. The driving position is a real shocker. Visibility out of the left hand side of the windscreen is nearly zero. A lot of hybrids have a spongy feel to their brakes.
Some will not like my blunt comment. But I care not.
This vehicle is atrocious.
Cheers NZ.
@@SHETALKSCARS My likes or dislikes of the SUV have nothing to do with speed.
@@johnmartin7158or reality.
How do you open fuel door the drivers electric door push open pass side fuel nothing really embarrassing in fuel pump 🤔😡
This is a truly awful car.
