2024 MG HS Trophy 5-door Petrol Hatchback

Description

I’ve been working at Vertu Nissan in Teignmouth, Shaldon, and I’ve been keeping an eye on our MG HS Trophy models – one of the few that actually feels like it knows what you’re trying to do. This one’s a 2024, so it’s fresh off the line, and it’s got that 1.5-litre turbo engine that doesn’t just idle, it actually gets you moving without any fuss. The DCT transmission is smooth – no jerks, no lag, just clean gear changes.

Inside, it’s not just flashy – it’s actually comfortable. Heated leather seats, dual-zone climate control, and wireless charging are all standard. The boot’s got 507 litres, which is a bit more than the old models, so it’s not just for weekend trips – it’s for real life. I’ve got kids, and we’ve got a lot of stuff that needs to fit.

It’s got all the modern bits: parking camera, rear cross-traffic alert, lane keep assist, adaptive cruise, blind spot detection – basically, it knows when you’re about to do something stupid and tries to stop it before you do. The alloy wheels are diamond-cut, which looks sharp without being flashy, and the keyless entry and push-button start mean I don’t have to fumble for keys every time.

I’ve had it serviced properly, full history, and it’s been in great hands. The aircon works well, the windows go up and down with one touch, and the lights adjust automatically. It’s not perfect – no car is – but it’s one of those cars that feels like it actually understands you.

I’m selling it because I’m moving to a different area and I just want to get rid of it before I do. It’s been a solid car for a few years, and I’ve driven it a lot. The price is £16,831.80 – which is a bit high, but it’s not just about the numbers, it’s about how it drives and how it makes you feel.

Vertu is one of the big players in the UK, with over 200 dealerships, and they’ve been around since 2006. The team’s still the same – just rebranded – and they’re known for great service. I’ve dealt with them before, and the advice is solid.

I’m not selling it for a quick buck – I just want to get it out of the way. If you’re looking for a practical, modern SUV that doesn’t shout but still does the job, this might be your kind of car.

No price in the title, no fluff – just real talk.
