In the Malaysian SUV market, many buyers compare the Honda CR-V and MG HS when choosing a car. These two cars are quite close in price and positioning. Today, we will make a detailed comparison from multiple aspects to help you save time on research.
The OTR price of the Honda CR-V in Malaysia is RM 178,200 - 195,900, with a total of 4 variants, including 2026 e:HEV 2.0L 2WD RS (RM 195,900), 2026 1.5T 4WD V (RM 181,900), 2026 e:HEV 2.0L 2WD E (RM 178,200), etc.

From the price perspective, the MG HS entry price is RM 47,750 cheaper than the Honda CR-V. Honestly, at this price range, a difference of a few thousand is actually not significant; the key is to look at the overall cost-performance ratio and long-term usage costs.

The Honda CR-V is equipped with a 2.0L 4-cylinder, 170 hp. Official fuel consumption is 8.0 L/100km.
The MG HS is equipped with a 1.5L Turbo, 140 hp. Official fuel consumption is 7.0 L/100km.
In terms of power, the Honda CR-V's 2.0L 4-cylinder has 30 hp more than the MG HS's 1.5L Turbo, giving more confidence in mid-range acceleration, especially when overtaking on highways. However, the MG HS fuel consumption might be friendlier, and the difference for daily city commuting won't be too large.

The safety rating of the Honda CR-V is 5★ (ASEAN NCAP). Active safety systems include Honda SENSING (ACC, CMBS, LKAS, RDM).
The safety rating of the MG HS is TBD. Active safety systems include Basic.
Regarding safety features, both cars have received good ratings. However, there are some differences in functionality between the Honda CR-V's Honda SENSING (ACC, CMBS, LKAS, RDM) and the MG HS's Basic. If you value active safety highly, you can compare the feature lists of both carefully.

The Honda CR-V body length is 4500 mm, trunk 450 L.
The MG HS body length is 4400 mm, trunk 400 L.
In terms of space, the Honda CR-V body is 100 mm longer than the MG HS, so the interior passenger space will be slightly more spacious, especially the rear legroom. If you frequently carry family or need to fit a stroller, a larger body is indeed more practical.

MG HS warranty is 7 years/150,000 km, maintenance interval every 10,000 km or 6 months.
