MG HS Leasing

You might be surprised to see the MG badge sitting on the nose of a big family SUV, but the once-British marque’s days of building little roadsters are over. It’s now an arm of the giant Chinese car company SAIC and on the UK market it aims to undercut big players like Ford, Vauxhall, Skoda and Hyundai in the family-car class by offering a lot more car for a lot less money. The HS is perhaps the best example of this to date – it’s equivalent in size to a Nissan Qashqai or Renault Kadjar, but won’t cost nearly as much to lease. It may not be the most exotically styled car, but lease an MG HS and you’ll enjoy a large and practical family SUV for small-hatchback money.

Why Lease An MG HS With Vanarama?

All MG’s current models major on value for money and the HS is no different. It offers all the space and equipment you’d want from a family SUV, but at a significantly lower cost than the competition. The HS is an ideal leasing choice if you don’t want to pay over the odds for unnecessary luxuries or brand image, and don’t want to compromise on the space and versatility needed for modern family motoring. You will notice the difference in terms of handling and comfort on the road, but it’s not far off other cars when it comes to things like standard equipment, and interior fit and finish. You can find out what our car experts thought in our in-depth MG HS review.

How Does Leasing An MG HS Work?

When you lease an MG, you get access to a brand-new car while making fixed monthly payments for the length of your contract. Most lease deals last between 2 and 5 years, but you can decide the length of the deal to ensure it meets your needs.

You also get to decide your annual mileage and how much you’d like to pay upfront. Maintenance and servicing can also be included as an optional extra. Once your deal ends, you simply return the car. To find out more about how contract hire works, take a look at our easy-to-understand guide to car leasing.

If you choose an MG HS business lease, you can reclaim up to 100% of the VAT on your deal if your company is eligible.

Stylish Cabin

MG’s HS has stepped the game up in terms of its interiors. There’s no shortage of kit, including a big touchscreen in the middle of the dashboard to control most of the car’s functions, along with parking sensors, satnav and cruise control even on the entry-level model. Visibility, seat comfort and space are also good, whether you’re sitting in the front or the back.

MG HS Driving Experience

The MG HS is powered by a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine, available with either 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox. There’s also a plug-in hybrid, which pairs the same engine with a battery, electric motor and 10-speed automatic gearbox to offer very low running costs. Behind the wheel of the HS, you sit up high and have a good view out. The suspension is soft enough and the petrol engine makes a decent 162hp. The plug-in hybrid ups that figure to nearly 260hp, giving the HS a most un-family-car-like 0-62mph time of around 7 seconds – as well as the ability to cruise around town silently on electric power alone.

The MG HS is all about offering you a big car for small money and it certainly delivers on this promise when it comes to interior space for passengers. Boot space offers 463-litre capacity and can free up 1454 litres by dropping the rear seats, but if you’re considering leasing the plug-in hybrid MG HS, bear in mind that its battery pack takes up some of the luggage room.
It won’t come as any surprise to know that the plug-in hybrid MG HS offers the lowest running costs in the range – but of course it also has a higher list price, so you need to pay attention to your annual mileage to make sure you’re driving enough to recoup the difference. The plug-in has a fuel economy of nearly 156mpg and the petrol-engined car’s sub-40mpg figures are much more achievable in real-world driving.

Models Available To Lease

The MG HS Vs Competitors

The MG HS’ most direct competitor is the Dacia Duster, which has a similar philosophy of trying to offer family SUV practicality for small hatchback money. It’s a close-run thing, but the HS feels a little less like a budget product.

Apart from that, the HS does a decent job of offering much of the space and equipment of something like a Vauxhall Grandland or Ford Kuga for a lot less money. We've also compared the HS with the 3008 in a dedicated article to see what they both offer and how they differ.

The HS hasn’t been around for too long, so long-term reliability data is limited. MG does back up its cars with a very generous 7-year manufacturer warranty, however, so it’ll be a long time before you’re paying to fix any faults.
The petrol car offers 463 and 1454 litres respectively with the rear seats up and down, but these numbers drop to 448 and 1375 litres in the plug-in hybrid, due to some space being given over to the battery pack.
Just 2 – Excite and Exclusive. Both offer you the same amount of kit that far more expensive equivalent trim levels on rival models do.
Yes, it does – rear parking sensors and a reversing camera are standard across the range.
In terms of passenger space, it’s very practical, with loads of room to stretch out front and rear. Boot space is average rather than outstanding, but overall the car gives a good account of itself in this area.
The HS appeals to those looking for value-for-money and who want to get as much space and equipment as possible, without worrying about the badge on the nose of the car.
