MG has just launched its new HS SUV, which will replace the current GS. Starting at a drive-away cost of $30,990 for the entry-level Vibe and $33,990 for the Excite, the brand is looking to improve the finish of its vehicles and become more of a name in the SUV space.
"With the all new MG HS, we have put the very best of MG into an SUV," said MG Motors Australian and New Zealand CEO Peter Ciao at the launch event in Sydney. "...The MG HS will have broad appeal to customers who are seeking premium features and design at an attainable price point."
We didn't get to drive the vehicle at the launch event; however, we were able to hop in and get a feel for the vehicle.
We recently attended the Australian launch of the MG HS. You can see our thoughts on the new vehicle in the previous link. We're looking forward to getting our hands on the vehicle for a longer test in the near future.

From the little time we had in the vehicle, the fit and finish on the MG HS do seem to be fairly premium. MG is so convinced with the quality of the HS that it's offering a strong seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty with seven years of roadside assist. We look forward to giving you a more detailed look at the MG HS in the coming months.
