Review: 2025 MG One 1.5 CVT Lux
I don’t know exactly what MG had in mind when they came up with the MG One. When it was launched, it was sized like the MG HS (which was offered at the time), and even shares similar price points and features. MG seems to admit to it as much since its name, which spells out “ONE” doesn’t fit in with the rest of the line-up’s alphanumeric naming convention which uses Arabic numerals like 3, 4, 5, and 7. Perhaps, I’d get the full picture when the all-new MG HS comes in, but for now, it begs the question: does it make sense for MG to spawn off a separate product line based simply on how it looks?
