June 25, (THEWILL) – The coming of MG HS into the Nigerian auto market, from all indications, seems to have hyped competition among vehicles in the Compact SUV segment.
The SUV is being marketed by Stallion MG Automobiles Ltd., official representatives of the British brand, Morris Garages brand in Nigeria.
Explaining the salient features of the vehicle, Anurag Shah, General Manager, Stallion MG Automobiles Ltd., said that MG HS increasing acceptance is not unconnected with its incredible, quality features, which many of its rivals do not have.
Shah stated that, “Auto enthusiasts are discovering that MG HS is not only value for money, when compared with its competitors in terms of safety, styling, interior design and equipment, the car comes with more either in number or sophistication and quality.”
With a record of 5-star rating, the highest from European New Car Assessment Programme (EuroNCAP) and given its distinctive features, MG HS is currently on sale in Nigeria.
Auto pundits are, however, of the view that the MG HS is capable of giving its rivals a run for their money, particularly in its segment.
Other attributes of the HS are: 6 airbags, Hill Start Assist Control, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Changing Warning and more.
Explaining further, Shah said, “While the engineers behind the MG HS did not attempt to reinvent the wheel,” Stallion MG Automobiles’ GM explained, “they successfully stocked the four-letter word – MORE, while adding modern and futuristic features that empowers HS to effectively undercut its rivals.
“Also, MG HS comes with the Lane-Assist System and Blind Spot Warning, which issues a warning, if there is another vehicle during the lane change or in the blind spot”.
According to the Marketing Manager, MG HS boasts the largest virtual instrument panel in its class, with the 12.3-inch virtual cockpit, providing access to all the key driving information.
“At the heart of its console, a 10.1-inch colour touch-screen connects to your smartphone via Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, giving access to all the infotainment you require. With GPS, Navigation, a premium sound system, and the MG Trophy Dream Air Quality Management System also available, you’re guaranteed a comfortable drive every time.“
“Our HS parades all the driving comfort features that appeal to Nigerian auto lovers. One of them is Paddle Shifters, which allows you to shift gear while holding the steering wheel without having to move your hand to the gear lever. This feature does not only add to your driving comfort, it makes the gear change safer and quicker.”
A compact crossover SUV made by SAIC Motor, under the British MG marquee, the MG HS SUV designers embraced the concept of X-Motion, putting the vehicle in a better stead.
For driver and passengers, the SUV offers racing style sports bucket seats, which include a six-way powered driver seat and four-way powered passenger seat.
Powered by a 2.0-litre High Efficiency Turbo Engine, which delivers a torque of 360Nm with a maximum speed of 210km/h, MG HS comes with a push-button start, plus Super Sport and Eco driving modes.
“If you are looking for a mid-size SUV that offers great levels of safety and incredible value for money, MG HS is your sure answer”, Shah advised.
