MG HS Australia

MG HS Australia

FROM $33,990

The HS is Chinese brand MG’s entry into one of Australia’s most competitive new car segments, the mid-size SUV market

Having only launched here in 2020, it’s already a popular option with one in 20 new mid-size SUVs bought in the sub-$60,000 segment being an MG HS.

While it generally aims to undercut established rivals like the Toyota RAV4 and Mazda CX-5 with a lower price, it still has some relatively well-equipped variants, an option of 1.5- or 2.0-litre petrol engines, and even a plug-in hybrid variant.

The line-up currently starts at $33,990 for the HS Vibe and ranges through to $39,990 for the range-topping HS Essence.

MG HS FAQs

What's a good hybrid car to buy?

The default purchase for somebody looking for a mid-sized hybrid SUV is the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid. But if that’s too big, there’s the Toyota Yaris Cross Hybrid, C-HR Hybrid and even the Corolla Cross Hybrid which sounds like the marketplace is getting crowded but is really just a reflection of the appetite right now for cars like these. And that’s the catch; the waiting times for a brand-new example of some of these cars is out to many months and even years. So your plan to shop second-hand makes plenty of sense, but don’t expect any bargains in a market currently being dominated by lots of demand and less supply.

Beyond the Toyota brand (which has been doing hybrids longer than just about anybody else) there’s also the Mazda CX-30, Subaru XV Hybrid, Haval Jolion Hybrid, Kia Niro, Subaru Forester Hybrid, Nissan Qashqai e-Power, MG HS, Honda HR-V e and more. For something a bit bigger, try the Kia Sorento or Hyundai Santa Fe hybrids. There are others out there, too, that are probably bigger or more expensive than you need, but it's very much a growing scene in the Australian marketplace.
