MG MOTOR Australia has once again waded into the local mid-size SUV pool, this time with the all-new HS – a model the Chinese brand has described as a “revolution”.

The key to this self-proclaimed revolution lies in the HS value factor, offering more active safety equipment than any of its rivals, especially in its basic trim.

The previous GS failed to fire in Australia, with just 361 sold last year, while the new HS chalked up 131 sales the first month of 2020, just prior to launch, which was equal to more than a third of the GS annual sales figure.

So what is all the fuss about?
