- Awards judged by Association of Scottish Motoring Writers
MG’s best-selling SUV, the MG HS, has been awarded the Motability Car of The Year at the 2023 Scottish Car of The Year (SCOTY) Awards. The annual awards, organised by the Association of Scottish Motoring Writers (ASMW) and hosted at Edinburgh’s Dalmahoy Hotel and Country Club, recognise the most highly rated vehicles of the year, as well as outstanding automotive achievements.
A new category introduced for 2023, the Motability Award assesses the comfort, efficiency, and practicality of cars for drivers with unique mobility challenges, highlighting the best-suited vehicles for drivers looking to use their mobility allowance through the Motability scheme.
Available on Motability at both the SE and Trophy specifications, the MG HS is equipped with a comprehensive package of safety features such as Active Emergency Braking with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection, Lane Keep Assist with Lane Departure Warning System and Blind Spot Detection.
Additionally, both specifications offer a generous suite of technology features including bi-function LED headlights, air conditioning, satellite navigation, rear parking camera with sensors and rain sensing wipers. A manual gearbox is available as standard, with an optional dual-clutch DCT gearbox offered on both specifications, complemented by a 7-year manufacturer warranty.
The SCOTY judges said: "MG has come up with a brilliantly cost-effective and practical option for anyone with unique mobility challenges. Comfortable, efficient and good to drive, the MG HS is also superbly equipped and looks great into the bargain. A thoroughly deserved winner in this very important category."
A wide range of MG models are available on the Motability Scheme including MG4 EV, MG5 EV, MG ZS, MG ZS EV, MG HS and MG3, and the benefits of a Motability vehicle can be accessed from a Nil Advance Payment, with weekly rental costs starting at just £71.00.
Geraint Isaac, Head of Fleet Sales at MG Motor UK, commented: “At MG, we have long been supporters of the excellent work done by the Motability scheme, and are delighted that the MG HS has been recognised in this category by the judges.
“Our Dealer network has specially trained Motability experts on hand to deliver essential advice to customers and the expansive range of MG models available on the scheme further proves that MG are committed to aiding those with limited mobility.”
