MG HS 2023 price and specifications

The MG HS has entered 2023 unchanged, although a cosmetic update is due later this year.

The company has yet to reveal any details about the upcoming upgraded lineup for the Australian market. However, MG has revealed the new model in Chinese, UK and Thailand market.

MG Australia said it had “significantly reduced” four-wheel drive version number of the current model it is importing into the country, which suggests that the turbocharged 2.0-liter engine may not be used.

For now, though, it’s still on the price list alongside the base 1.5-liter turbocharged hybrid engine and plug-in hybrid powertrain.

Price has been increased at the beginning of this year, with MG announcing a $1000 increase in basic Vibe and premium Essence X and Plus EV Essence. All other models are priced unchanged.

MG first started production of the MG HS in 2018 and it initially arrives in Australia in 2020 with just the turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine.

The range was later expanded to include all-wheel drive and plug-in hybrid options, among other new variants.

MG currently offers eight variants, with the range opening at $32,990 driving for the base Vibe.

Last year, MG Australia sold 10,948 HS SUVs thanks to ample supply. It sells better GWM Haval H6 (7009), Honda CR-VA (8123), Nissan X-Trail (7943) and Volkswagen Tiguan (2658).
