The MG HS Trophy 2025 has arrived in Pakistan, continuing MG Motor’s streak of exciting new models. Following the success of the MG HS PHEV (Hybrid), the HS Trophy is a facelifted version of the MG HS Essence, bringing minor but noticeable changes to the lineup.

It is important to note that this is not a hybrid vehicle—the MG HS Trophy is a 1.5T pure petrol-powered crossover SUV. But what exactly has changed, and does it offer enough improvements to justify its higher price? Let’s explore the new MG HS Trophy and find out if it’s the right SUV for you.

MG HS Trophy – What’s New? 

While the MG HS Trophy offers a few upgrades, this doesn’t mean you’ll receive a new engine, new design, or any upgraded powertrain.

Exterior Upgrades

The MG HS Trophy 2025 has the same aggressive and sporty exterior design as the MG HS PHEV. However, it is a new version of the MG HS Essence with a new name: MG HS Trophy. The only significant modification is the Trophy badge on the front grille.

• Signature Digital Flaming Grille – A distinctive MG design element.
• Matrix LED Headlights – Features auto-dip function and DRLs.
• 18-inch Alloy Wheels – Gives the SUV a strong, stable stance.
• 3D LED Taillights – 96 individual LEDs for a modern look.
• Automatic Boot Function – Ensures convenience in daily use.

While the design remains eye-catching, competitors like the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage have a more modern and updated look.

Interior Upgrades

MG focused on enhancing the interior experience with the HS Trophy facelift, adding a premium touch to the cabin.

• 12.1-inch Upgraded Infotainment System – Faster and more responsive.
• Monaco Blue Interior Theme – A stylish and luxurious upgrade.

Despite these improvements, the infotainment system still lacks full Apple CarPlay and Android Auto support, which remains a drawback.

Performance & Powertrain

The MG HS Trophy continues to offer the same powerful petrol engine as before.

• Engine: 1.5L Turbocharged Petrol Engine
• Power Output: 160 hp
• Torque: 250 Nm
• Transmission: 7-speed Dual-Clutch Transmission (DCT)
• 0-100 km/h Acceleration: 9.6 seconds
• Top Speed: 190 km/h
• Drive Type: Front-Wheel Drive (FWD)

While MG’s turbocharged engine ensures decent performance, it competes against rivals like the Kia Sportage, Hyundai Tucson, and Haval Jolion, all of which offer similar power but more brand reliability in Pakistan.

Safety & Driver Assistance Features

Safety remains a key priority in MG vehicles, and the MG HS Trophy 2025 includes several advanced safety features. All the ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance System) features make the MG HS Trophy a safe choice for families and daily commuters.
