Official images of the facelifted MG HS have been revealed, with the firm’s flagship SUV featuring upgraded technology, an improved infotainment system and a more sharper-looking front end.
The SAIC-owned manufacturer’s SUV now features a shapely, deeper front bumper and a more pronounced beltline, alongside a wider grille and multifunction LED headlights that have also grown in size to enhance the model’s credentials as a flagship offering.
At the rear, the car gains a new bumper, revised LED tail-lights and redesigned exhaust outlets. The SUV’s 18in alloy wheels are now also available with a new diamond-cut design, while an optional Urban Grey exterior paint colour is available for the first time.
Order books are now open in the UK, with prices starting at £23,495 for standard SE trim, rising to £29,995 for range-topping Trophy specification. The HS comes in £3055 cheaper than the Skoda Karoq and £2975 cheaper than the Nissan Qashqai – two of its main rivals.
Entry-level SE trim has multifunction LED headlights with front and rear scrolling indicators – a first for MG – keyless entry and a rear parking camera. Top-rung Trophy specification brings leather upholstery, ambient lighting, dual-zone climate control and a steering wheel-mounted starter button.
Both models are available with a new 10.1in infotainment system – which, MG says, provides smoother functionality – and soft-touch materials said to be of a higher perceived quality than the outgoing car’s.
