MG HS
The MG HS is once again competing for segment honours here thanks to an improved suite of safety features including Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist. These new features meet what remains to be a highly appointed interior, finished with plenty of leather and brushed aluminium for a premium driving experience. A punchy 1.5-litre unit that produces 160bhp and 250Nm also ensures unstrained acceleration, making the MG HS as well-rounded an SUV as ever.

Reviews
Own the 2020 MG HS for about 2 months now.Regrets came in less than 1 month into owning the car.Headed to the service centre 2 times to address the same issues, with no improvements.(changes gearbox mountings, steering rack and reset/reprogram ECU)My 3rd SUV after a 2018 Forester and a 2016 Harrier.Sadly, this is 1 of the the worse car (including saloons, hatchback and vans) I have driven in the last 20 years.Why? Basically, for me to rate a car, only 2 major factors;1. Driving experience (3/10)2. Features (8/10)The MG HS scores super high on the features, which swayed my decision in getting this car (bad choice), without properly testing the on road experience.Coming from a Harrier, the comfort and drivability of the HS do not even comes close to 40% Of what the Harrier offers on the driving experience.Hard suspension, jerky transmission, delayed change in transmission, vibrations and occasional "Hang" Of the infotainment system.Frankly speaking, I love this car for the looks, features and the spacious interior, but am extremely disappointed with how the car drives.I spend a lot of time in the car travelling from point to point due to my work, and I never felt tired driving in my previous cars and always enjoy driving, but now, I just cannot wait to reach my destination and switch off the engine as the vibrations can really gets on you, physically and mentally.Right now, I am already starting to look for any good deal to change out of the MG HS.Unless something can be done to address the jerking transmission and horrific vibration, this is a car I will not be recommending.Plus: never trust whatever "Official" Reviews and awards. They are probably paid.
Verdict
This year, we have opted to award the top prize for the segment to the MG HS. The accolade comes after the SUV managed to impress us with its well-rounded offerings that include a quality ride, competent drivetrain, and enhanced suite of safety systems.
A 1.5-litre engine does duty in the MG HS, pushing out a generous 160bhp and 250Nm of torque, which allows it to pull away strongly with every flex of your right foot.
And, the ride quality of the MG HS also impressed us, allowing all passengers within to carry on their journey without being fazed in the least, even when the roads throw up some terrible bumps. The fact that the MG HS offered up some quality seats also certainly helped affairs here.
There's also a quality cabin to look out for in the MG HS, complete with eye-catching colours and premium soft-touch leather throughout.
The fact that customers can now opt for their MG HS with new safety systems that include Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Keep Assist, features we are sure will be loved by families here, only serves to reinforce our opinion that the MG HS deserves to emerge as top of this segment.
