MG HS prices revealed

The new MG HS SUV will launch with a £17,995 price tag when deliveries start in November.

That’s roughly the price you’ll pay for an entry-level Juke, while the top-spec MG HS easily undercuts the most expensive version of Nissan’s small crossover. Exceptional value for money for a car that rivals the Nissan Qashqai from the class above.

Standard spec includes 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry with push button start, a 10.1-inch colour touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and electric folding and heated door mirrors.

Moving up from the Explore trim to the mid-range Excite adds around £2,500 to the price and a rear parking camera, 18-inch alloy wheels, automatic wipers and sat-nav.

The top-spec Exclusive boasts a choice of two leather interiors, front and rear LED sequential indicators, electric and heated front seats, dual-zone climate control, ambient lighting and a panoramic sunroof.

A six-speed manual gearbox is fitted as standard, with a seven-speed DCT transmission available on Excite and Exclusive models. DCT models also feature a choice of driving modes and an electronic opening tailgate.

All models get an extensive list of safety equipment, including active emergency braking, adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, blind-spot detection and rear cross-traffic alert.

There’s no diesel option, so you’re limited to a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing 162hp. Monthly PCP deals are to be announced.
