MG HS Lease Deals
Compare live MG HS lease deals below from an independent, whole of market broker. The HS is MG's family SUV, offered as a Hybrid+ self charging hybrid or as a plug-in hybrid with an official 75 miles of electric range, one of the longest in its class. Both keep the same 507 litre boot. If you want something smaller, compare the MG ZS, or see the fully electric MGS5.
Why Lease the MG HS?
The MG HS is a family SUV that competes on space and equipment rather than badge. It is a large car for its class, and the second generation moved it further upmarket inside, with a much better finished cabin than the model it replaced.
The headline is the plug-in hybrid. MG quotes an official 75 miles of electric range from its 24.7kWh battery, which is roughly double what a typical plug-in hybrid managed a few years ago and enough that many drivers would rarely start the petrol engine on a normal week of commuting.
What makes it unusual is that the battery costs you nothing in practicality. The boot is 507 litres whether you choose the hybrid or the plug-in hybrid, because the pack sits under the floor rather than eating into the load area. Plug-in hybrids almost always sacrifice boot space, so this is a genuine point of difference rather than a marketing line.
MG HS Engines and Running Costs
There are two powertrains, both built around a 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine, and both automatic.
The Hybrid+ is a self charging full hybrid. There is nothing to plug in, it recovers energy as you slow down and drives on electric power at low speeds. It returns an official 51.3mpg with CO2 of 126g/km and reaches 62mph in 7.9 seconds, which is brisk for a family SUV.
The PHEV adds the 24.7kWh battery and a charging socket. Official CO2 falls to 12g/km and it is quicker again at 6.8 seconds. That low CO2 figure is the reason to look closely at it if you are a company car driver, because benefit in kind is calculated from CO2 and electric range. Tax rates change each tax year, so confirm the current position with your accountant before you order.
MG HS Trim Levels
SE
The entry point, and far from basic. SE covers the equipment most people actually use day to day, and because MG positions the HS as a value proposition, the standard specification is generous by class standards.
Trophy
The higher grade, adding the comfort and trim upgrades that make the cabin feel a class above, along with exterior detailing. It is the one to choose if the interior matters to you as much as the running costs.
If you can charge at home, take the PHEV in SE trim. The 75 mile electric range is the single biggest reason to choose this car, and SE already has the equipment that matters. If you cannot charge at home, take the Hybrid+ instead, because a plug-in hybrid you never plug in is just a heavier petrol car.
Leasing the MG HS
Leasing suits the HS particularly well. MG is a fast moving brand that has refreshed its range repeatedly in recent years, and a fixed term agreement means you hand the car back at the end rather than carrying the resale risk on a marque whose used values are still settling.
The honest drawback is the driving experience. The HS is comfortable, quiet and easy to live with, but it is set up for comfort rather than involvement, and keen drivers will find the steering short on feel. If that matters to you more than space and equipment, this is not the car to talk yourself into.
Worth knowing too that the 75 mile electric figure is an official test result. Real world range depends on temperature, speed and load, as it does with any electrified car, so treat it as a strong indicator rather than a promise. On business contract hire the PHEV's low CO2 is the main draw, and again your accountant should confirm the figures for the tax year you order in.

MG HS Leasing FAQs
The official figure is 75 miles, from a 24.7kWh battery. That is one of the longest electric ranges of any plug-in hybrid on sale, and roughly double what the class managed a few years ago. In practice it is enough that a typical commute can be done without the petrol engine running, provided you charge regularly. As with every electrified car the official number comes from a standard test, so cold weather, motorway speeds and a full load will all reduce it.
No, and that is unusual. The boot is 507 litres on both the Hybrid+ and the PHEV, because the battery is packaged under the floor rather than under the boot. Fold the 60/40 split rear seats and you get up to 1,484 litres either way. Most plug-in hybrids give up a noticeable chunk of luggage space to fit the battery, so being able to choose the PHEV without that compromise is a real advantage.
The Hybrid+ is a self charging full hybrid, so there is nothing to plug in. It uses a small battery topped up by the engine and by braking, and drives on electric power at low speeds. The PHEV has a much larger battery and a charging socket, so it can cover most journeys on electricity alone if you keep it charged. The PHEV is quicker and has far lower official CO2, but it only makes sense if you can plug it in regularly.
The plug-in hybrid is worth a close look. Company car tax is based on CO2 emissions and electric range, and the HS PHEV records 12g/km with a long electric range, which puts it in a much lower band than a petrol or diesel SUV of the same size. The Hybrid+ is taxed as a petrol hybrid and sits considerably higher. Company car tax rates are set each tax year and do change, so ask your accountant to confirm the current bands before you commit.
Yes. It is one of the roomier cars in the family SUV class, with space for adults in the back and a 507 litre boot that beats a lot of better known rivals. The second generation also improved the cabin materials significantly. If you need a third row of seats it is not the answer, but for a family of four or five it is more than adequate.
It is comfortable and quiet rather than engaging. MG has tuned the HS for relaxed everyday driving, so it rides well and is easy to place, but the steering is light and short on feedback and it does not reward being hurried. If driving enjoyment is high on your list this is the car's weakest area, and it is worth being honest with yourself about that before choosing one.
LetsLease is a broker, not the lender. Your agreement is placed with one of the major UK leasing funders, including Lex Autolease, Novuna, Ayvens and Santander, and that funder owns the car and holds the credit agreement. We source the deal across the market and manage the order through to delivery, with the same consultant looking after it throughout. Different funders price the same car differently, which is why access to several of them is what lets a broker improve on a single lender's offer.
