Think of the MG HS (and its EHS plug‑in hybrid) as the sensible, budget‑friendly family SUV — roomy, comfortable and annoyingly practical — while the MG MGS5 EV flips the script with instant electric torque, sharper handling and far more tech for your money. Pick the HS/EHS if you want proven value and easy refuelling; choose the MGS5 EV if you crave silent performance, lower running costs and can live with charging.
