The MG HS should feel more confident during overtaking when the stronger-torque variants are chosen. The listed torque figures include 2025 1.5T Luxury: 250 N·m; 2025 1.5T Standard: 250 N·m; 2026 HEV 1.5T Hybrid+: 230 N·m; 2026 HEV 1.5T Hybrid+: 340 N·m. That matters because overtaking is not just about peak power; a healthy torque output helps the car respond more naturally when you need a quick burst on highways or trunk roads.
