The General Manager of Stallion MG Automobiles Limited, Anurag Shah, has expressed delight over the acceptance of MG HS, the company’s latest car on offer in the Nigerian automobile market.
Stallion MG Automobiles Limited is the official representative of the British brand, Morris Garages brand, in Nigeria.
According to Shah, the increasing acceptance of the European vehicle was not unconnected with its incredible, quality features, even as MG HS has recorded a 5-star rating, the highest from the European New Car Assessment Programme.
His words: “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, but the car also comes with more either in number or sophistication and quality.”
“While the engineers behind the MG HS did not attempt to reinvent the wheel, they successfully stuck to the four-letter word while adding modern and futuristic features that empower HS to effectively undercut its rival,” Stallion MG Automobiles’ GM added.
“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 Andriod 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, but it also makes the gear change safer and quicker.”
A compact crossover Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) made by SAIC Motor under the British MG marquee, MG HS SUV is not large, but charming and head-turning. Its designer embraced the concept of X-Motion, which explains why the SUV exudes a real drive to do more.
The MG HS flaunts a flowing roofline, smart lighting, electric heated and folding door mirrors, LED daytime running lights and chrome accents for added appeal.
You can also choose from a number of premium finishes, including Pearl White, Surfing Blue, Phantom Red and more.
Modern, smart and comfortable, MG HS’ cabin is covered in 85 per cent leather, with black, red and beige finishes.
For drivers and passengers, the SUV offers racing style sports bucket seats, which include a six-way powered driver seat and four-way powered passenger seat, with exceptional lumbar support, enabling you to get comfortable with a minimum of fuss.
It also comes with a stunning panoramic sunroof, as well as Dual Zone Climate Control AC and rear AC vent, which provides the perfect driving environment.
The SUV is 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.
