MG Motor is expanding its mid-sized MG HS SUV range with its first all-wheel drive model variants for Australia, the MG HS Excite X and MG HS Essence X.
This follows the recent launch of the MG HS plug-in hybrid, the brands first PHEV offering in the Australian market.
Starting from $37,990 driveaway and backed by a seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty, the MG HS AWD offers an option for customers looking for enhanced dynamic capability says MG Motor Australia.
It will be arriving in dealerships nationally in March.
The new MG HS AWD features a 168kW/360Nm 2.0-litre turbo petrol engine, delivering the power through a six-speed twin-clutch automatic to an intelligent all-wheel drive system.
It comes equipped with Eco, Normal, Sports and Custom driving modes as well as paddle shifters and a Super Sports setting also releases maximum torque from the engine to enable better acceleration.
Standard features include the MG Pilot driver safety technology system, a comprehensive suite of active and passive driver assistance technologies.
“When we launched the MG HS, we offered our customers a premium mid-sized SUV packed with style, high levels of technology, safety and assurance,” MG Motor Australia and New Zealand chief executive officer Peter Ciao says.
“Since then, we have listened closely to our customers, and today we launch our first all- wheel drive SUV in response to their feedback for a variant that offers additional capability for their everyday driving adventures,” he says.
The MG HS AWD is distinguished by diamond cut 18-inch alloy wheels and chrome roof rails, while the MG badge sits in the centre of an exclusive grille design with chrome surround and satin silver inlay. The door mirrors and door handles are finished in body colour with chrome highlights on the fog light surrounds, side sills and window trims.
LED headlights complete the face of the vehicle with LED ‘London Eye’ daytime running lights.
The MG HS AWD is available in five colours, including York White, Phantom Red Metallic, Surfing Blue Metallic, Black Pearl Metallic and Pearl White Metallic.
Sporty metal trim pedals and satin chrome highlights are added to the interior door handles, air vents and steering wheel, and an electric tailgate is included as standard.
The MG HS AWD provides technology such as a 10.1” multi- function colour touchscreen, Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, Bluetooth, four USB charging points, inbuilt satellite navigation and a 6-speaker audio system.
It also features dual-zone climate control, rear air-conditioning vents, cabin pollen filter and a front-centre armrest with a cooling function for water bottles.
The Essence X specification includes a Stargazer Panoramic Sunroof as well as a leather interior and Sports Seats with integrated headrests, front seat heating and electric adjustment for driver and passenger.
