Speculations put that the MG HS will come to the Philippine market with a 1.5-liter turbocharged 4-cylinder motor. It will reportedly make 169 hp and 250 Nm of torque and it will send power to the front wheels via a seven-speed wet-type dual-clutch automatic transmission. If these figures seem familiar this is because it is the same power plant that is found in the
MG RX5.
As the
MG RX5 and the HS share the same platform, it will likely handle the same, albeit, the HS has a bigger body and comes with a more premium execution which could indicate a possible higher price tag.
