MG HS Achieves Five-Star Euro NCAP Rating for 2024
The newly revised MG HS, launched earlier this year, has earned the highest possible rating from the European New Car Assessment Programme (Euro NCAP). Originally introduced in 2018, the HS remains the largest vehicle in the MG line-up. Impressively, the first-generation model also received a five-star Euro NCAP rating following its initial testing in 2019.
Since then, Euro NCAP has introduced more rigorous safety assessment protocols, and the latest 2024 MG HS – unveiled at this year’s Goodwood Festival of Speed – has once again secured a top-tier five-star rating. The updated model scored highly across all categories, joining the MG4 EV in achieving this prestigious accolade. Furthermore, the MG HS also earned top marks from Green NCAP, Europe’s premier emissions assessment programme.
Enhanced Safety Features
All MG HS models are equipped with an upgraded MG Pilot package, which includes the following safety and driver assistance features:
- Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection
- Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning System
- Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist
- Driver Attention Alert
- Forward Collision Warning
- Rear Cross Traffic Alert
- Door Open Warning
- Adaptive Cruise Control (available on the MG HS DCT)
- Traffic Jam Assist (available on the MG HS DCT)
Commitment to Safety
Euro NCAP praised MG’s dedication to safety improvements: “The last time Euro NCAP tested MG’s largest vehicle, the HS, was in 2019 when it received a five-star rating. Euro NCAP’s protocols have been upgraded twice since then, and MG has ensured that this mid-size SUV has kept up with these developments, incorporating new technologies to secure a 2024 five-star result.
“This reflects Euro NCAP’s ongoing impact on vehicle safety and highlights the willingness of manufacturers like MG to push their vehicles to ever-higher levels of safety performance. The MG HS offers strong protection for pedestrians and cyclists, supported by an effective autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system that responds to various vulnerable road users. Additionally, features like protection against ‘dooring’ incidents further enhance safety for cyclists.”
Availability and Warranty
The MG HS is now available and comes with MG’s comprehensive seven-year/80,000-mile warranty, ensuring long-term peace of mind for owners.
