2026 MG HS Excite Auto MY25

The 2026 MG HS Excite is a new-generation midsize SUV that combines a practical five-seat layout with a strong emphasis on everyday technology and driver assistance. Finished in Pearl White and presented with zero kilometres, this example uses a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine matched with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission and front-wheel drive.

Its SUV proportions are well suited to the demands of regular Australian driving. The five-door body provides straightforward access for passengers, while the 507-litre minimum luggage area offers useful room for shopping, travel bags or day-to-day equipment. Folding the rear seats expands the available load space to 1,484 litres, giving the HS flexibility beyond its usual passenger-carrying role. Roof rails add further practical potential for carrying larger recreational equipment, subject to the appropriate accessories and load limits.

The Excite cabin is designed around accessible technology rather than novelty. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto allow familiar smartphone functions to be brought into the vehicle, while GPS navigation, digital radio, USB ports and a six-speaker audio system support longer journeys as well as routine commuting. A digital instrument cluster and large infotainment display help keep key information visible, and climate control, electric seating and a multifunction steering wheel contribute to a more convenient driving environment.

Keyless entry and proximity-key functionality reduce the need to handle the key around the vehicle, while heated door mirrors, LED headlights, rain-sensing wipers and automatic lighting add useful assistance in changing conditions. A reversing camera, parking sensors and the integrated dash camera provide additional visibility around the vehicle, particularly when manoeuvring in confined spaces.

Safety technology is a major part of the HS package. Its driver-assistance systems include adaptive cruise control, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assistance, blind-spot monitoring, forward-collision warning and automatic emergency braking. Rear and front cross-traffic alerts, rear-collision warning, reverse collision mitigation, high-beam assistance, road-sign recognition and a road-sign adaptive speed limiter extend the support available in traffic and while parking. Electronic stability control, ABS, electronic brake-force distribution, tyre-pressure monitoring and a seven-airbag system are also listed, with the model recorded as having a five-star ANCAP rating for 2024.

Under the bonnet, the turbocharged 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces 125 kW and 275 Nm. The dual-clutch automatic transmission provides seven forward gears, while front-wheel drive keeps the mechanical layout familiar and efficient for predominantly sealed-road use. Listed combined fuel consumption is 6.9 litres per 100 kilometres, with the engine specified for premium unleaded petrol.
