2025 MG HS: The Next-Generation SUV Spotted in Australia

## MG HS 2025: The Next-Generation SUV Spotted in Australia

Get ready, Australia! MG is bringing its next-generation Toyota RAV4 rival, the **MG HS**, to our shores, and it’s been spotted ahead of its official launch later this month.

The new MG HS will debut with petrol power, followed by plug-in hybrid (PHEV) models arriving in the first half of 2025\. It’s set to be available in three trim levels, ensuring there’s something for everyone.

### Trim Levels and Features

The MG HS seen in Ramsgate appears to be a base model, evident from its cloth upholstery. However, don’t let that fool you—it still boasts dual 12.3-inch screens inside.

### Power and Performance

Petrol-powered HS models will feature a 125kW/275Nm turbocharged 1.5-litre engine paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Additionally, a recent government filing suggests the HS will also offer a 170kW turbo 2.0-litre four-cylinder engine mated to a nine-speed automatic.

For the flagship model, which may continue with the Essence badge, expect premium features like a surround-view camera, panoramic sunroof, power tailgate, six-way power driver’s seat, eight-speaker sound system, and a wireless phone charger.

### Design and Space

Compared to its predecessor, the new HS has a longer rear end and a bolder exterior design. The boot space has increased by 44L, bringing it to a total of 507L. This means more room for your groceries, sports equipment, or weekend getaway gear!

### Safety and Driver Assistance

Like the outgoing model, the new HS is packed with standard active safety technologies. These include autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, and rear cross-traffic alert. Additional driver assistance features like adaptive cruise control, intelligent speed limit assist, and traffic jam assist make this SUV a safe and smart choice.

### Pricing and Popularity

The price for the new-generation model remains under wraps. The outgoing HS model starts at $29,990 drive-away. Despite the competitive mid-sized SUV segment, the HS has been the least popular in MG’s current lineup in Australia, with 1618 units sold in the first half of 2024—a 65.3% drop from the same period last year.
