MG continues its Middle East offensive with the launch of the HS model in the UAE, a neat-looking and – as we've come to expect from the brand – inexpensive new SUV.
You'll pay just $18,150 (Dh66,660) for the base model, while a full-spec version comes in at $21,650 (Dh79,500).
The company is looking to the sportier side of the market, as the compact HS is powered by a 2-litre turbocharged engine, which generates 231hp. MG claims this blows away any of the vehicle's current competitiors.
The frisky stylings continue inside the cabin as the HS comes with two-tone bucket seats and a sport option should you want to really push the car. The tech is there too - there are a pair of digital screens and satnav comes as standard.
Red racing calipers with decent stopping power area a feature on the high-end models.
MG says the car encapsulates the soul of a sports car, which is, of course, what the marque is famous for. We've yet to drive it so it remains to be seen whether this is the case, but, looks-wise, the HS is fulfilling the brief so far.
