2026 MG HS Price, Specs and Range

What is it?

The second-generation MG HS is a clean-sheet redesign of MG Australia's best-selling SUV: bigger inside, more sophisticated outside, and now with a 170 kW Hybrid+ PHEV at the top of the range claiming 120 km of NEDC EV range.

The lineup runs from Vibe at $33,990 drive-away, through to Hybrid+ Essence at $50,990 drive-away. Warranty cover sits at 10 years, 250,000 km (transferable).

Interior and Technology

$33,990 drive-away entry, 5-star ANCAP from 2024, and the Hybrid+ PHEV claiming 120 km of NEDC electric range.

7-speed DCT can hesitate at slow speeds, and the 120 km PHEV figure is NEDC rather than WLTP, so real-world range will be lower.

Quick Buyer Context

Should you buy the HS?

Reasons to buy

$33,990 drive-away entry, 5-star ANCAP from 2024, and the Hybrid+ PHEV claiming 120 km of NEDC electric range.
Warranty: 7 years, unlimited km. Battery: 7 years on Hybrid+ PHEV.
5-star ANCAP (2024), full driver-assist suite.
507 L boot, segment-competitive cargo space.

Reasons to wait

7-speed DCT can hesitate at slow speeds, and the 120 km PHEV figure is NEDC rather than WLTP, so real-world range will be lower.
You want proven Toyota or Mazda resale data, you want AWD, or you want a WLTP EV range figure rather than NEDC on the PHEV.
The PHEV jump from Essence petrol to Hybrid+ Essence is $11,000. The maths only works if you charge at home and run short daily commutes on electricity.
Top trim climbs to $50,990 drive-away.

The CarTell take

We have not driven this yet. On paper, here is how it stacks up.

Strongest suit on paper: $33,990 drive-away entry, 5-star ANCAP from 2024, and the Hybrid+ PHEV claiming 120 km of NEDC electric range.
The trade-off: 7-speed DCT can hesitate at slow speeds, and the 120 km PHEV figure is NEDC rather than WLTP, so real-world range will be lower.
Check before you buy: The PHEV jump from Essence petrol to Hybrid+ Essence is $11,000. The maths only works if you charge at home and run short daily commutes on electricity.
Best suited to: Value-led families chasing the cheapest medium SUV entry in Australia and the option of a PHEV with the longest claimed EV range in segment.
