2025 MG HS promised to be a “real MG” despite shared DNA, approved for sale in Australia

AutoExec Summary
The new 2025 MG HS mid-size family SUV has been approved for sale in Australia with 1.5-litre and 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engines, with a plug-in hybrid due at a later date. It is based on the Roewe RX5, a vehicle sold by MG’s parent company SAIC in its domestic market, with a restyled front fascia and other MG-specific styling tweaks. Australian government approval documents show two engines have been certified for sale, and a plug-in hybrid Plus EV model is expected to join the range at some point. The overseas-market Roewe RX5 plug-in hybrid has recently been updated with a larger battery pack and longer driving range.
