2 Answers
The transmission used in the MG HS varies depending on the model: 1. The 1.5T model is equipped with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; 2. The 2.0T model is equipped with a 6-speed dual-clutch transmission. Taking the 2020 MG HS Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Super Luxury Edition as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of 4873 mm in length, 1852 mm in width, and 1470 mm in height, a wheelbase of 2850 mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 62.5 liters. The 2020 MG HS Automatic Two-Wheel Drive Super Luxury Edition is powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine with a maximum power of 127 kW and a maximum power speed of 5600 rpm.
The MG HS comes with two types of transmissions. The 1.5T version is equipped with a 7-speed dry dual-clutch transmission (DCT) jointly developed by SAIC and General Motors, codenamed DCT250. This transmission is known for its fast shifting but may occasionally exhibit slight jerkiness in stop-and-go traffic at low speeds. The 2.0T model uses a 6-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, codenamed DCT360, which can handle higher torque and offers better heat dissipation. Manual transmission enthusiasts can opt for the entry-level 6MT variant. Currently, most second-hand HS models on the market are automatic, so remember to check the transmission fluid and clutch plate condition during maintenance.
