MG HS Running Costs — Australia

✓ Technically reviewed by Daniel Wei Chen — Senior Chinese Automotive Diagnostics & Repair Specialist, Sydney, Australia · 19 August 2026.

Over its first five years an MG HS costs $2,091 (petrol) or $2,166 (Hybrid+ / Super Hybrid) in capped-price servicing. The bigger fork in the road is fuel: every HS requires RON 95, and official government figures span 5.2 L/100km (Hybrid+) to 9.5 L/100km (the old 2.0T AWD). And one fact the brochures blur: government data classifies the new Super Hybrid as a plug-in hybrid — 135 km of electric range, but only if you actually plug it in.

Scheduled servicing — 5-year capped totals

Variant	Services 1–5 (to 75,000 km / 60 mo)	Total	Average / year
1.5T Petrol (all trims)	$292 + $411 + $292 + $804 + $292	$2,091	$418
Hybrid+ / Super Hybrid	$307 + $426 + $307 + $819 + $307	$2,166	$433

Prices AUD inc. GST from MG Australia’s official Service Pricing Guide (retrieved 19 August 2026). Details in our HS service schedule guide. The year-4 service is the big one.

Fuel — official government figures (all need RON 95)

*Australian Government Green Vehicle Guide (greenvehicleguide.gov.au, retrieved 19 August 2026). GVG’s annual cost assumes 14,000 km/year at last-quarter average retail fuel prices; litres-per-year is our arithmetic on the official figure at 15,000 km/year — both assumptions stated so you can rescale to your own mileage.

†The plug-in asterisk. The Super Hybrid’s 0.7 L/100km is a laboratory PHEV figure that assumes a charged battery (official electric range: 135 km; energy use 180 Wh/km). Never plug it in and your real consumption converges toward the ordinary hybrid’s — you paid for a battery you’re not using. The same applies to the Gen-1 PHEV (1.7 L/100km, 63 km range).
