Many MG HS owners report that the 1.5L turbo engine feels sluggish when fully loaded o r climbing steep roads like Murree.

Acceleration slows, and the engine needs higher revs o r manual gear shifts to maintain climbing power.

Lighter loads on highways are fine, but in hilly terrain, performance feels below expectations compared to Tucson o r Sportage.
