During a consultation with a sales representative, it has been confirmed that the MG HS will officially return to the Vietnamese market by the end of the year.

“The expected launch timing for the MG HS in the Vietnamese market is November. The car will be directly imported from Thailand and will have a total of 3 versions,” the representative revealed.

At the moment, the sale price of the MG HS for its relaunch in Vietnam has not been disclosed specifically. However, with the shift to importing from Thailand instead of China, many believe that the sale price for this return will be lower than the previous listed price.

The sales representative also mentioned that all information related to this car model is still a mystery. Currently, the only confirmed detail about the return of MG HS to the Vietnamese market is as previously mentioned.

Addressing rumors of the possibility of the MG HS launching in Vietnam as early as July, a salesperson confirmed that this information is not accurate.

“The dealership has not received any information regarding the MG HS launch event in Vietnam, so the possibility of this car model being launched as early as next month is not high. The deposit policy for Vietnamese customers for this C-segment SUV is also not available at this time,” the salesperson noted.

Prior to this, MG Vietnam representatives had confirmed that they would reintroduce the MG HS to the Vietnamese market, adding it to the existing lineup that includes MG5 and MG ZS.

Returning to the period of July 2020, the MG HS was first introduced to Vietnamese customers through completely imported units from China. The selling price at the time of launch for this C-segment SUV ranged from 788-999 million VND, but later adjusted down to only 719-869 million VND.

In September 2022, the MG HS quietly disappeared from the MG product range in the Vietnamese market. At that time, the automaker explained that the reason for ceasing the sales of MG HS in Vietnam was due to temporary vehicle shortages. However, until now, the MG product line still continues with only 2 names, MG5 and MG ZS.

In its return to the Vietnamese market, the MG HS will still have to compete alongside a range of familiar names in the C-segment SUV segment such as Mazda CX-5 (739-922 million VND), Honda CR-V (from 998 million VND to 1.138 billion VND), Hyundai Tucson (from 845 million to 1.060 billion VND), in addition to the newcomer Ford Territory with a listed price range of 822-935 million VND.
