Today let us welcome Jeremy from Torque as he joins Julian to check out the new MG HS. With a feature set that rivals cars twice its price, the MG HS looks to be a car that is worth looking out for.

I like the concept of the video, hope this continues when duo reviews start again!

Great video, just to clarify though, the HS is technically one class above the MG ZS, I wouldn’t think the size is the same. In other parts of the world, petrol powered ZS competes with cars like the Honda HR-V, Kia Stonic and Seat Arona while HS competes with larger SUVS like Honda CR-V, Kia Sportage and Seat Ateca. For the price though, I feel it’s a definite will buy.

Test drove this.. went with a skeptical MIC mindset but the interior was WOW! Really opened up my mind. Very luxurious. Quiet and gear kicks seamlessly..spacious as well. Im 1.8m and my current drive is a 2.0 Mit ASX so i would like something similar and 1.5 turbo with 160bhp its very nicely priced. Additional warranty applies at 3+2 and yes.. Eurokars a trusted brand. Very tempted... i did the "Go Try" part... now deciding if i "will buy".

For a brand that is less famous as family car, after sale service and long term reliability are more crucial than what have mentioned on its premium interior quality.

Totally agree with "go try". After gone for a test drive, below is my comments to consider before buying this car. The DCT transmission it has is not smooth during moving off, moderate acceleration and heavy acceleration as well. The fuel consumption is high. Brakes are spongy, need additional S$3k for BBK upgrade Touch screen some lag Other than for all this flaws, if the selling price comes with 5yr warranty with included solar film and cameras, it will be a good deal.

@fuzzylogic888 3 жыл бұрын

I think the 2 obstacles MG has to overcome to putting more cars on the road here is the stigma of being made in China and its price cutting too close to some of the more established makes. Undoubtedly it is well equipped but for most, it will still be a gamble. Resale value would likely be quite poor as well. A longer warranty would help allay reliability concerns as the car only comes with a 3 year 100k km warranty. Even more established brands like Honda and Kia provide 5 year unlimited mileage warranties. Actually in overseas markets like Australia, MG offers a 7 year unlimited mileage warranty.

@jameseltan 3 жыл бұрын

So are Volvos and even iPhones. And both aint't cheap. Agree on the warranty, it's odd that in all other countries they have the 7 yr warranty but not us. But to be fair, it think this is the authorised dealer's issue, not MG's.

@LeeKimSung 3 жыл бұрын

@@jameseltan The years of warranty is an issue. Mileage in Singapore is comparatively much lower than country like Australia and yet only offer 3 years warranty. I kind of worry that parts and services will be high after 3 years hence the business model is selling at lower price initially and charge higher later when your send in for services. I have experience a few years ago on Opel car (not current agent) where I was charged $1000 for window when my trusted mechanic told me that only 1 screw need to be replaced but agent insisted only the entire window parts can be sold - end up I have the window fixed without buying parts from agent but it can’t be wind down any more and I have 2 windows in that conditions.

The engine is sourced from General Motors/Opel derivatives and the DCT gearbox is co-developed with SAGW, SAIC Motor and GM.

But wait this is the bigger HS not the smaller ZS The one piece seats will obstruct rear view of the driver and blocks the view for the rear passenger too. The bucket seat has been over done. These 1 pcs seats seems to be a cost cutting measure. Like in A Class and the CLA. And the car is made in China right?

Did you go take a look at it? It is around the size of the Toyota Harrier. In fact, the interior is bigger. First time i hear that sports bucket seats are "cost cutting" measures lol. So what if it's made in China? So is Volvo. There are cars made in Thailand, Vietnam, India, etc.

@jameseltan 3 жыл бұрын

Even at the cheapest trim, the KICKS has less 33hp and cost $1k more than the HS. At its highest trim, it costs $7k more than the HS and still has significantly less equipment and features, eg. no panaromic sunroof, no electric seats at all, torsion beam rear suspension, etc. And oh, it's tiny.

@seanhjy 3 жыл бұрын

the differences are tiny fair enough it’s small, but how often would you use the sunroof in Singapore? But the economy was not mentioned in this video and i bet the Kicks can go way more on one tank of fuel whilst providing enjoyment too. no hate to the mg HS at all

and the HS weights 200kg more too

@jameseltan 3 жыл бұрын

No hate to Kicks either. In fact it was on top in my buy list (together with Kia Stonic which is even cheaper) hence lots of comparison was done before i decided on the HS. The 200kg more is because it is a significantly larger car. And it's actually nice to drive around with the panaromic roof (closed but shade open) makes the interior livelier and more spacious/open. And electric seats are quite a significant feature to me and is the non-torsion rear suspension. The Kicks is probably the best looking on the outside but the interior looks rather budget and for me even the cheaper Stonic has a nice interior. Given that we spend more time looking at the inside of the car than the outside of it, interior is always more important to me.

@seanhjy 3 жыл бұрын

Oh you bought the HS I see... true enough the Kicks’s design is nice with the X-Trail like brake lights on the rears with the big V-Motion grille. The interior from the dashboard side of things Nissan has done a good job, but the doors are really all plastic. Haven’t seen the Kicks in person yet but my guess as to the main reason why it is more expensive is because of the E-Power system instead of having the traditional ICE to power the car
