    Established rivals should be shaking in their boots as the second-gen MG HS packs effortless driving dynamics with pseudo-premium looks.

    Other SUV to consider

    The HS's most direct rival is its fellow Chinese SUV, the Haval H6. The base H6 doesn't have quite as exhaustive a list of standard safety equipment, but the H6 range counters with a more powerful standard engine that also manages to be almost as efficient as the HS's base engine.

    The SsangYong Korando is another sharply-priced challenger SUV, albeit one from Korea instead of China.

    There's also the traditional mainstays of the mid-sized SUV segment to consider, including the Mitsubishi Outlander. This SUV has traditionally been the sharpest priced of the Japanese entrants in this segment, though with its 2021 redesign it's gotten a little pricier, if a lot nicer inside.
