NEW MG3 Hybrid+ Review - Better than the Yaris Hybrid?

[@williamwyllie7072]

Presently the Hybrid is a better option to the all electric alternatives because of the poor infrastructure and the high depreciation of electric cars.

[@sargfowler9603]

Decent looking car with lots of features. Wish the hybrid+ was actually a plug in hybrid, but at this price it's understandable

[@Bob-v8b3i]

Why would you want to have a plug in hybrid, this is the best compromise.

[@mydad156]

MG3 Hybrid can speed 0 to100 kilometers per hour in 7.8second. ,fuel consumption is 20-22kilomaters range(used speed100-120km/hr ) per 1liter of fuel out off town drive and 26kilomater range for 1liter of fuel in town drive(used speed 40-80kilomater).😁

In addition to extra cost, a bigger 7.5kWh battery would add significantly more weight. As I see it, the problem with a lot of today's automotive tech, be it BEV, PHEV or HEV, is that all that extra weight compromises the very thing you've trying to improve on which is fuel economy. My very basic, ultra lightweight Suzuki regularly returns 70+ mpg & it's done it consistently over 8 years of ownership. It's the most efficient car I've driven in 45 years of being behind the wheel. It weighs in at a mere 835 kg! Sometimes the neatest technical solutions are the simplest ones...

They are door mirrors.. what part of the wing are they fastened to??

[@billweaver6092]

Compare with a petrol car , that you step into, turn ignition key , and drive off. Simples!

[@ChorleyGroup]

This is just as easy, if not more so. You can jump in (keyless entry), press start button (no need to put key in ignition), and then twist the gear selector to D (no clutch to press). What's so hard about that?

[@FéargalO]

@billweaver6092 Sounds like you would be happy with a donkey and cart to get around to be fair.

[@TerryHickey-xt4mf]

so your petrol car does not have a gear box?

[@corporatepsychobabble188]

It looks terrible, who signed off this rubbish design?

[@ivecounijet]

Slightly better Chinese crap than the EV effort, still crap.

[@stuartsinclair6269]

Not for me I’m afraid cheap Chinese crap… my opinion

[@leifandersen2756]

Chinese EVs are no go.Lack quality ! Prefer European EVs if I were to buy one ! Would prefer a hybrid instead !

[@jamesmacd]

Absolute rubbish... the new MGs are massively improved.

[@surreyguysurrey4898]

And where do you think most of the components in your 'European' ev come from or indeed is built? Mini, Volvo, lotus , smart etc. Ridiculous comment.

[@TerryHickey-xt4mf]

I thought this was a hybrid being reviewed.

[@hamzahsebyani8888]

Toyota is stupid . They are losing vs MG , Kia , Hyundai and also car from China . Only view stupid still get Toyota .

[@Manc-fh5we]

Split link troll boy. Can’t even speak English 😆

[@TRD19912]

La realidad es que Toyota sigue siendo líder por su fiabilidad.😊

[@seamusspratt7205]

Toyota is the world's biggest car manufacturer and sold 11.8 million vehicles last year a record in the industry so who are they loosing to if they are number 1 in world sales 🤔
