SAS23 MY21 Vibe Wagon 5dr DCT 7sp FWD 1.5T The Chinese-owned British brand MG has a strong contender on its hands with the 5-star safe, well-built, well-equipped and commodious mid-size MG HS. A strong presence among class leaders including Toyota RAV4, Mazda CX-5 and Nissan X-Trail, the HS range offers base Vibe, mid-spec Excite Essence, Core, top-spec Anfield and a plug-hybrid variant that arrived in 2020. Power in non-hybrids comes from a 119kW/250Nm 1.5-litre turbo four driving the front wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Universal five-star safety tech includes high and low-speed autonomous emergency braking with pedestrian avoidance, lane departure warning/lane-keep assist and blind-spot monitoring, while sat-nav is standard from Excite onwards.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
