AutoExec Summary
The new MG HS Core, priced under $30K drive-away, offers great value in the mid-sized SUV market. It features a big infotainment display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a seven-year warranty, and a five-star ANCAP rating. However, it has drawbacks like powertrain calibration issues and a lack of second-row air vents and power outlets. The 1.5-litre turbocharged engine provides decent performance, but the dual-clutch transmission needs refinement. Despite these, its spacious, modern interior and active safety tech make it a strong contender.
