More about The MG HS

The MG HS is a large SUV with an impressive amount of space and a family-friendly interior. The HS is full of soft-touch materials and has a raised driving position to provide the ultimate comfort level.

Made for family living, HS has a range of family-friendly features, including clever storage and folding cup holders to make sure everyone is happy and entertained during every journey.

The HS is equipped with features that provide a smooth driving experience from the moment the key turns in the ignition. The 360-degree parking camera and rear parking sensors are part of the parking assist technology that ensures every manoeuvre is completed with ease.

The advanced Driver Assist Package is a newly updated system that allows the driver to feel confident and safe during every drive. The Adaptive Cruise Control works alongside the driver every time they enter a motorway. The system will automatically speed up and slow down depending on the distance from the vehicles in front, therefore making long-distance driving safer and easier. The HS also has Collision Warning technology, Automatic Braking, and Lane Keep Assist on hand to provide peace of mind to the driver every time they get behind the wheel. The safety systems in the HS work hard to reduce the risk of collisions and protect the driver and its passengers on every journey.

What's my Towing Capacity?

The MG HS has a towing capacity of between 1500KG to 1750KG; this is the perfect capacity for towing cycle carriers, a trailer, or a lightweight trailer. Please refer to your vehicle's VIN plate to receive an accurate towing capacity for your MG HS.

Which Towbar is best for my MG HS?

We offer a range of towbars for the MG HS, which all have different qualities and are tailored to your towing needs.

The fixed flange is a permanent towbar that is fixed to the vehicle's bumper; this Towbar cannot be removed from the vehicle after towing. The chunky design of the Towbar is preferred by customers who are in high-traffic areas and want to prevent other vehicles from damaging their bumpers; it also allows for bolt-on accessories to be added to the plate at the rear of the Towbar. The fixed flange towbar can cause interference with reverse parking sensors due to its positioning and the width of the Towbar. The fixed flange style towbar is the only Towbar compatible with all cycle carriers but can also be used to tow trailers and caravans. If you are towing a caravan with an ALKO-style bumper, you must purchase an ALKO-style towbar.

The fixed swan neck is another permanent towbar style that cannot be removed at the end of towing. The fixed swan neck is a lot thinner in design than the fixed flange style towbar; this means that it is less likely to cause any disturbance when your vehicle is in reverse. The fixed swan neck is compatible with clamp-on style cycle carriers, caravans, and trailers. There is no need to purchase an ALKO towball when towing with an ALKO stabiliser, as the regular towball will allow enough room to attach.

Finally, the detachable swan neck is the only style of Towbar where the towbar neck can be detached. The towbar neck is removed easily using a twist and push method, like opening a medicine bottle. The towbar neck can be locked using a key to protect it from theft. This Towbar is an excellent option for customers who wish for their vehicle to return to its original aesthetics at the end of towing. Once the towbar neck is removed, the electrics flip up under the bumper leaving the remaining Towbar practically invisible. The detachable swan neck is compatible with all clamp-on style towbars, caravans and trailers. Similar to the fixed swan neck towbar, there is no need to purchase an ALKO towball with towing an ALKO stabiliser.

Will it need a bumper cut?

No bumper modifications are required on any of the towbars listed for the MG HS; however, if your HS doesn't have the standard bumper or has been modified, it may mean that some slight alterations to the bumper are made during fitment. Our professional engineers will discuss any bumper cuts with you before starting the installation.

Electrics

As manufacturers develop more efficient and environmentally friendly vehicles, the electrics behind a towbar have become more varied too. We offer a range of options to make sure you get the right product at the right price, and there's a fair bit to consider when choosing your setup. Here's our guide to help you understand what's fitted and why.

Which socket type do we fit?

13 Pin Electrics

We fit 13-pin electrics as standard with every towbar installation. The 13-pin socket combines the functions of the older 7-pin and twin (12S) systems into one connector, providing everything needed to operate the road lights on your trailer or caravan - indicators, brake lights, sidelights, fog lights and reverse lights - plus 12-volt power for your caravan's other functions, such as charging its battery and powering the fridge and interior lights while you're driving.

It's also a neater fitment than the older systems, usually folding away under the bumper when you're not towing.

If you're towing a trailer, caravan or cycle carrier that uses an older 7-pin plug, you can still use it with a 13-pin towbar via an adaptor, available in our Accessories section.

A Note on 7-Pin and Twin (12S) Electrics

We no longer fit single 7-pin or twin (12S) electrics - these were the standard fitments before the 13-pin socket took over in 2008, and 13-pin now covers everything they did and more. If your existing trailer, caravan or cycle carrier only has a 7-pin plug, an adaptor lets you connect it to our 13-pin towbars without any loss of function for lighting.

Which wiring do we fit?

Vehicle Specific Wiring

We only fit vehicle-specific wiring - not universal aftermarket wiring or bypass relays. Each kit is designed specifically for the vehicle it's fitted to, interfacing with your car's onboard computer system exactly as the manufacturer intended, rather than soldering or using scotch locks to tap into the wiring. This keeps your manufacturer's warranty intact, whatever the age of your vehicle, and properly integrates the towbar with your car's systems rather than working around them.

It can also activate other towing functions your car may have, such as Trailer Stability Control, where fitted - this varies from car to car, but a proper connection to the vehicle's computer system means these features work as intended rather than being bypassed.

What is coding, and does my car need it?

At Towbar Express, our expert team can advise you based on your vehicle’s make, model, and year. We supply and fit vehicle-specific wiring kits, and if coding is required, we’ll carry it out as part of the installation; no need to visit a dealership.

For more information on coding for your vehicle, please contact us directly.

Guarantee

Towbar Warranty

Towbars that we supply have a manufacturers lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects. This guarantee covers the fixed parts of the towbar assembly, and not moving parts such as detachable necks, or other accessories.


Towbar Neck Warranty

The neck section of the towbar has a 12 month warranty. It is very rare that these necks have a fault. Most of the time when there is a fault it's usually that the neck wasn't released from the car properly last time it was used. It simply needs to be reset, and you can view a video guide here.


Electrics Warranty

Once your towbar and electrics have been fitted, we offer a 12-month guarantee on the installation of your towbar, electrics and other parts that are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Any electric faults that appear during the 12-month period that has been reported to us, will be fixed completely free of charge. If the fault isn't to do with the towbar fitment then you may be charged a call out fee, however this will be discussed at the time of booking.


Vehicle Warranty

Dependant on the make and model of your vehicle, the manufacturer may have offered a 3 year warranty at purchase or you may have taken an extended warranty to cover the electrics of your vehicle. If this is the case, then we recommend you choose the dedicated wiring loom. If you choose to have the universal electrics fitted to your vehicle then its possible you may lose your manufactures warranty. If you are unsure which wiring type to choose then please click here for more information.


Cycle Carrier Warranty

The Thule Cycle Carriers have a 5 years warranty. If you do have any issues then please get in touch so we can contact Thule as they will need to see the cycle carrier and determine the fault and then either fix the issue or replace the carrier. The decision is final from Thule.

All of our warranties do not cover faults or damage caused by improper use or wear and tear from normal use.

You should be careful not to overload your towbar, as this is the most common cause of damage. You can check the maximum towing weight for your car here.
