MG Motor Australia is approaching the second half of 2020 with the confirmed July arrival of the top-specification MG HS Essence SUV, and news that it will launch the company’s first fully electric vehicle, the ZS EV, in the last quarter of the year.
The MG HS is designed to be purposeful, sporty and perfectly at home on Australian roads. Featuring a premium design aesthetic combined with elevated levels of technology, the Essence fully encompasses MG’s offering of immense value to its customers.
The new model comes equipped with the marque’s high-tech driving aid assistance suite known as MG Pilot, featuring as standard across all variants, helping to make the driving experience relaxing and safe.
With a 5-Star ANCAP safety rating – coupled with its 7-year unlimited kilometre warranty and 7-year roadside assistance package – the HS range offers compelling value to MG customers. It will be priced at $36,990 plus on-roads.
“The MG HS has proved a popular addition to our range. Moving into the second half of the year, this range-topping yet value driven model is one we’re excited to bring to our customers, with a range of additional features we know they’ll enjoy,” MG Motor ANZ CEO Peter Ciao said.
The 5-seat MG HS Essence joins the current range, which includes the Vibe and Excite, and over and above the latter, adds an impressive panoramic stargazer sunroof, a 360-degree camera, a red interior option, and a sportier interior seating design.

The second half of the year will also see the launch of the MG ZS EV, the company’s first fully electric vehicle, with the all-electric evolution of the marque’s best-selling compact SUV, the MG ZS, set to arrive in quarter four.
A family-friendly electric car, the ZS EV is designed for those who want all the advantages of a zero-emissions vehicle without compromising on practicality.
“We’re grateful for our customers ongoing support and warm reception to our innovative product range. Our continued growth, with new dealer partners and exciting new iterations like the HS Essence, provides more choice and better access for service and sales around the country,” Ciao added.
“As we move into the second half of the year, we’re delighted to continue in our partnerships with exciting sporting teams, but also reveal further exciting models to the Australian market.”
