The new MG HS completed the stringent Euro NCAP tests with superior performance in all safety areas. In its evaluation, Euro NCAP said, “When Euro NCAP last tested MG’s largest vehicle, HS, in 2019, it received 5 Stars.

MG‘s new and popular model, the MG HS, has received the highest possible safety rating from Euro NCAP. Euro NCAP, new HS; It received a 5-Star rating for its excellent performance in both adult and child passenger safety assessment tests, as well as for features designed to protect vulnerable road users.

In its evaluation, Euro NCAP said, “When Euro NCAP last tested MG’s largest vehicle, HS, in 2019, it received 5 stars. Euro NCAP protocols have been upgraded twice since then. MG has updated its HS model with new technologies to achieve a 5 Star rating in 2024.

This demonstrates the continuing impact of Euro NCAP on vehicle safety and the willingness of manufacturers such as MG to respond by pushing their cars to higher levels of performance. For example, the car has an effective Autonomous Emergency Braking System (AEB) that offers good protection for pedestrians and cyclists, while also responding to some vulnerable road users.

The vehicle also has protection against the possibility of ‘door opening’, which means a door suddenly opens in the path of a cyclist approaching from behind. As a result, the car achieved an impressive performance within Euro NCAP’s 2024 testing programme, receiving the Euro NCAP 5 Star rating.” He stated:

A standard in MG models: Superior safety

In the new MG HS model, such as Automatic Emergency Braking System with Pedestrian and Bicycle Detection, Lane Tracking System with Lane Violation Warning, Blind Spot Detection with Lane Change Support, Driver Distraction Warning, Front Collision Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Warning and Door Opening Warning. It offers the advanced MG Pilot Technological Driving Support System, which includes standard equipment. Within the scope of MG Pilot, which allows semi-autonomous driving; Adaptive Cruise Control and Traffic Driving System are also offered as standard in the new HS model.

Since 1997, the European New Car Assessment Program has been setting standards for the safety of new vehicles offered for sale in Europe, helping consumers make informed decisions when choosing their next vehicle.

Euro NCAP carries out comprehensive, objective and independent security assessments, taking into account standard support systems and passive security elements.

Stellantis, introduced STLA Frame, designed for full-size body-on-frame pickup trucks and SUVs. STLA Frame, the company’s 3rd all-new versatile platform, supports internal combustion, hybrid, hydrogen, BEV and REEV technologies.

Stellantis introduced STLA Frame, a battery electric vehicle (BEV)-specific, multi-energy platform designed for full-size body-on-frame pickup trucks and SUVs, a critical segment in North America and select global markets.

STLA Frame, Stellantis’ all-new 3rd multi-energy platform, prioritizes capability, practicality and performance for full-size pickup truck and SUV users who demand uncompromising power and durability.

610 mm water crossings will no longer be a problem!

STLA The Frame platform is designed to provide a maximum towing capacity of 6,350 kilograms and a payload capacity of 1,224 kilograms, while offering a best-in-class range of up to 1,100 kilometers in range-extending electric vehicles (REEV) and 800 kilometers in BEV.

Additionally, the platform supports up to 610 mm of water passage, responding to harsh environments and various usage conditions. STLA Frame, which is planned to be used in Stellantis full-size pick-up pickup trucks, light commercial vehicles and SUV type vehicles, will initially be offered with an innovative powertrain system, including full BEV and REEV configuration.

STLA Frame will also accommodate internal combustion, hybrid and hydrogen propulsion systems in the future. Combining a battery, front and rear electric powertrain modules (EDMs), integrated generator and internal combustion engine, the REEV system allows drivers to carry or tow heavy loads over long distances without range anxiety.

Since there is no direct mechanical connection from the engine to the wheels, the generator provides energy to the EDMs, propelling the vehicle and charging the battery when necessary. Thus, while extending the range under heavy use, it also benefits from the torque of the electric motors, which takes the dynamics of the vehicle to new heights.

Innovative design for power and efficiency!

Manufactured using advanced, high-strength steel, STLA Frame provides greater durability and strength with less weight.

While the expanded middle section houses the battery set, there are reinforced frame rails that protect the battery in case of a possible side impact. Full-length underbody fairing reduces aerodynamic drag to help maximize driving range and reflects Stellantis’ commitment to efficiency without sacrificing performance.

The platform is designed for a BEV range of up to 800 kilometers and a REEV range of up to 1,100 kilometers. It contains liquid-cooled battery packs ranging from 159 to 200 kWh.

It is also designed to adapt to future energy storage technologies, providing adaptability for many years to come. By designing and installing front and rear EDMs to 250 kW, Stellantis offers four-wheel drive capability and can accelerate a vehicle from 0 to approximately 96 km/h in 4.4 seconds.

Flexible suspension designs, including air suspension, offer a ride optimized for a variety of driving conditions and loading scenarios. The basic STLA Frame enables production of:

• Length range: 5.488-5.941 mm
• Width range: 2.062-2.124 mm
• Wheelbase range: 3,143-3,690 mm
• Ground clearance range: 168-262 mm
• Maximum tire diameter: 834/838 mm

Range of 160 kilometers in 10 minutes!

The new STLA Frame supports fast charging. While the BEV solution provides an additional range of approximately 160 km in just 10 minutes with 800 volt DC fast charging up to 350 kW, REEV can reach a range of up to approximately 80 km in 10 minutes with 400 volt DC fast charging up to 175 kW.

Vehicles built with STLA Frame feature bi-directional charging, which allows the vehicle’s battery to charge another EV, power a home in an emergency, or feed energy back into the grid. The STLA Frame platform is one of four global BEV platforms at the center of the Stellantis Dare Forward 2030 strategic plan. STLA Medium was launched in July 2023 and STLA Large in January 2024, thus enabling Stellantis to offer the right solutions to its customers based on different electrification scenarios.

All of Stellantis’ global platforms are designed and engineered for long lifespans, with battery cell chemistry, EDMs, power inverters and software control interchangeable.

To achieve its ambitious targets, Stellantis will invest more than 50 billion euros in the electric transition by 2030. The company aims to achieve a 100 percent passenger car battery electric vehicle sales mix in Europe and a 50 percent passenger car and light commercial vehicle battery electric vehicle sales mix in the United States.
