Deal hunter: Six grand off 2024 MG HS Essence AWD

MG Motor Australia is undeniably one of the industry’s value kings within the EV, SUV and passenger market segments, and especially in the mid-size SUV market at the moment.

Usually priced at $42,990 drive-away, the 2024 MG HS Essence X automatic is currently on sale from just $36,990 drive-away – marking a $6000 discount off what was already one of the most competitively priced models in the segment.

The Essence X is the flagship combustion-powered HS offered in Australia, packing a 168kW/360Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine and all-wheel drive for less than a lot of similarly-specced, naturally-aspirated front-drive rivals.

Headline gear includes leather and leather-look upholstery, sports pedals, power adjustable front seats, sat-nav, 18-inch alloys, a six-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, glass roof, powered tailgate, dual-zone climate control and keyless start.

While practical, medium SUVs aren’t always the most rugged or utilitarian vehicles around, which is where the 2023 Peugeot Expert Pro SWB automatic comes in.

With a list price of $47,849 plus on-road costs, the French delivery van is on special for $48,990 drive-away, saving potential buyers upwards of $4000 worth of on-road costs depending on the state or territory of purchase.

The 2.0-litre turbo-diesel engine outputs 110kW/370Nm and drives the front wheels via an eight-speed automatic transmission, whereas the 5300L cargo area has a payload of 1036kg.

A similar deal is going on the 2024 Kia Cerato Sport automatic at the moment, with the accomplished small car that’s usually priced at $29,160 plus on-roads now available from $30,790 drive-away.

Kia loves a good drive-away deal and this one presents an ideal opportunity to save a few grand off a new vehicle backed by a seven-year/unlimited-kilometre warranty.
