Our first impressions of the 2022 MG HS. MG MGPhilippines MGHS CompactSUV CarGuidePH
MG—the revenant brand synonymous with British sportscars is performing something of a sales miracle in the Philippines not with rear-wheel drive two-seaters, but with a range of sensible sedans and crossovers.
Without a doubt, one of the allures of the brand is its pricing. After all, few brands can match how they can chuck a sensible amount of tech and convenience features in a package that’s never going to break the bank. Keeping that in mind, what would prospective MG buyers think of a P 1,208,888 compact SUV? That’s exactly what the MG HS Trophy is. It’s a compact SUV that now sits atop the local MG range.
Thankfully, the MG HS has some bite to match in the form of a turbocharged 1.5-liter 4-cylinder engine. In this case, the direct-injected engine puts out 169 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque—which aren’t class-leading figures per se, but remain impressive in a car of this size and price. Inside, it’s hard to find any scratchy plastic with fine materials and padded textures covering virtually everything. The cabin layout is beautifully spartan with only a handful of switching adorning the dash beneath the 10-inch touchscreen. Similar to the MG ZS T, navigating through the combination of on-screen buttons and the physical piano keys takes some getting used to, and even then, there are questionable decisions surrounding the overall user interface.
