The all-new MG HS compact SUV has received the highest possible safety rating from the European New Car Assessment Program or Euro NCAP. The new MG SUV excelled in both adult and child occupant protection as well as having features designed to protect vulnerable road users.
During its recent test, the MG HS received a 90 percent Adult Occupant Protection rating, 85 percent Child Occupant Protection rating, 83 percent for Vulnerable Road User Protection, and 74 percent in Safety Assist Technology.
Euro NCAP commented: “The last time Euro NCAP tested MG’s largest vehicle, the HS, was in 2019 when it received a five-star rating. Euro NCAP’s protocols have been upgraded twice since then, and MG has ensured that this mid-size SUV has kept abreast of developments, with new technologies to ensure a 2024 5-star result. This demonstrates the continuing influence of Euro NCAP on vehicle safety, and the willingness of manufacturers such as MG to respond, pushing their cars to ever-higher levels of performance.
For example, the car has good protection for pedestrians and cyclists as well as an effective autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system that responds well to a range of vulnerable road users. The car also includes protection against ‘dooring’ where a door is suddenly opened in the path of a cyclist approaching from behind. All in all, under Euro NCAP’s 2024 testing program the car receives an impressive five-star Euro NCAP rating.”
The MG HS gets an enhanced MG Pilot advanced driver assist package. It now includes key features such as Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning System, Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Assist, Driver Attention Alert, Forward Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert, and Door Open Warning as standard. It also comes equipped with Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Jam Assist.
The MG HS joins the MG4 EV which also holds a 5 Star Euro NCAP safety rating as well.
