KEY TAKEAWAYS
What powers the MG HS?
The MG HS is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four DOHC turbocharged petrol engine that churns out 169ps and 250Nm of torque.How much is the MG HS?
The prices for MG HS are P1,258,888 for the Alpha variant and P1,308,888 for the Trophy variant.The launch of the MG HS is yet another nod to MG Philippines' goal of providing top-notch, high-quality, and affordable mobility solutions for every Filipino As the brand continues to expand in the local market. MG exhibits an interconnection of cultures with the HS and every global MG model by combining the following elements: MG's rich UK heritage, born of innovation; SAIC Motor's entrepreneurial spirit and technological and advanced manufacturing expertise; and, of course, the warmth of Filipino service, embodied by The Covenant Car Company, Inc. (TCCCI), which is the official distributor of MG in the Philippines.
With the new HS, MG encourages Filipinos to strive higher with their car choices and selections without worrying about the sticker price being inflated and out of reach.
“Our mission at MG Philippines is, and has always been, to offer superior quality products; and to serve the evolving mobility needs of the Philippine motoring public. The new MG HS is the embodiment of the high standards in design, quality, technology, safety, and value that we at MG Philippines perpetually aim to uphold as a brand,” MG Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer Atty. Alberto Arcilla stated. “The launch of the MG HS this first quarter of 2022 is likewise significant because this model headlines the arrival of other modern, global, MG vehicles that we intend to launch and reveal later on throughout the year. We at MG Philippines are primed for a very eventful 2022 and begin so with the HS — the vehicles that invite all to aim higher and make the elevated choice when considering a new car purchase.”
The MG HS offers premium features and aesthetics, a plush and comfortable ride, and excellent driving dynamics at an affordable price — all of which come together to make the HS a class leader.
The HS is powered by a 1.5-liter inline-four DOHC turbocharged petrol engine that churns out 169ps and 250Nm of torque. The engine is mated to a seven-speed twin-clutch Sportronic Transmission (TST). The HS also has a blind spot detection system, tire pressure monitoring system, EPS three-mode adjustable steering, push start-stop functionality, an electronic parking brake with autohold, and a patented "Sport Mode" that enables sharper steering and throttle response.
Swooping body lines and an athletic stance give the HS a sporty character, while MG's signature Stardust Grille completes the vehicle's athletic, yet elegant, look. The 9-Crystal Lighting units and bright LED headlights illuminate roads in front of the car, with sequential turn light capability that is also found on the taillights. The HS is also fitted with 18-inch diamond cut alloy wheels.
The new MG HS SUV is a joy to behold on the inside. The six-way power-adjustable MG Sport Bucket seats hug the body in all the right places. The 12.3-inch Virtual Driver Information Center and large 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, and multimedia functions accentuate the HS dashboard, which is ergonomically designed for quick access. The HS also has a large panoramic Stargazer Sunroof that provides clear views of the sky and is useful for bringing fresh air into the cabin. The HS also has a unique, configurable ambient lighting system that allows the occupants to customize the interior lighting color to fit their mood.
The MG HS has gained international accolades in countries where MG vehicles are offered. It is highly acclaimed for its premium features and exceptional value for money. In 2021, it was hailed as the Compact SUV of the Year by Carousell COTY Awards and the SUV of the Year by SGCarMart COTY Awards. In 2020, it was named as the Car of the Year and Best Subcompact Crossover in the Middle East COTY Awards.
Every purchase of the all-new HS comes with a five-year or 100,000-kilometer warranty and access to MG Hero Services that provides 24/7 roadside assistance through the MG Philippines hotline. Owners of MG vehicles can also download the My MG mobile app, where they can book vehicle service appointments from the comfort of their own homes. They may also use the app to schedule a visit from a Mobile Garage service caravan, which offers MG vehicle owners in-home service for major technical issues.
All MG dealerships nationwide will start accepting reservations for the all-new HS this month. Customers may also make reservations through the online buying platform of MG Philippines at BuyAnMG.com.
