(February 26, 2024) The all-new MG3 is a technologically advanced hybrid supermini, offering a combination of performance, efficiency, and refinement. Two specifications will be available in the United Kingdom at launch, each sharing the all-new Hybrid+ powertrain. MG’s work on this hybrid system sees a larger battery fitted, and a more powerful electric motor, compared to the rest of the hybrid B-segment market.

The supermini is more spacious than the outgoing model, while retaining the compact footprint that makes the MG3 such a popular model, particularly for those mainly covering urban driving routes. Boasting high levels of interior equipment and space — matching the best-in-class — the MG3 Hybrid+ offers customers both practicality and efficiency. Value is further boosted with MG’s trademark seven-year/80,000 miles warranty included as standard.

“With all the attributes to become a leader in its class, the all-new MG3 will offer customers a combination of efficiency and performance with MG’s exciting Hybrid+ powertrain,” comments David Allison, MG Motor UK head of Product and Planning. “More refined, yet also bringing MG’s fun-to-drive philosophy to the market, the MG3 is excellently equipped, both with premium interior features and MG Pilot safety systems.”

Standard-fit on all MG3s, the self-charging system comprises a 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine and an electric motor. Unlike most hybrids, the electric motor provides most of the shove here, producing 134 bhp compared to the gas engine’s 101 bhp. A combined output of 192 bhp should make for a fairly athletic driving experience, with the MG3’s 0-6 2mph time of eight seconds undercutting most of its competitors.
