MG HS 30T Trophy: Muscling in confidently

MG HS 30T Trophy: Muscling in confidently

In winning top honours at last year’s Middle East Car of the Year (MECOTY) awards, the MG HS pulled an unlikely and unexpected, but not unearned upset that saw it edge ahead of great and mighty cars including the Lamborghini Huracan Evo and Bentley Flying Spur runners-up. 

Certainly nowhere as fast, visceral or capable as the Lamborghini or as elegant, luxurious and effortlessly muscular as the Bentley, the compact to mid-size MG HS crossover SUV’s victory was, however, a testament to just how well-rounded it is as an affordable and accessibly attainable automobile.

Encapsulating enough of the above qualities in a ‘real world’ package that is practical, pleasantly styled and confidently powered, the HS’s more important victory was over the many other mainstream crossovers and saloons competing in the 2020 MECOTY awards. Initially reviewed based on an evaluation test drive on Dubai roads, a MECOTY winning car is, however, expected to reflect its accolade and to perform in a variety of conditions and markets that encompass the Middle East, including Jordan’s more demanding roads and market, where new cars constitute a bigger customer investment.
