MG3 Hybrid+ 2024 review: Next-gen hatch shakes up city-car segment, putting Toyota Yaris on notice

[@FéargalO]

Had mine almost 3 weeks..do a mixture of city.rural and motorway each day..averaging just about 60 mpg (UK) spot on.Even longer journeys was getting over 64 mpg.(50 mile plus)..i keep it in eco mode with strongest number 3 regeneration braking and auto speed enabled.Seats very comfortable..great proper full back support. I bought a £6 adaptor for wireless android auto which works a treat.36L tank so £47 fills her up to brim.(Then shows 479 miles)

Hi John Law. Good to see you again in car reviews. 👍

[@chinonsomichael9839]

There is a lot of beautiful Chinese car you guys are yet to review

[@bboystretch7788]

how many revs at 100 km/ h?

[@TaufiqueAmmangi]

Hybrid is just good compared to electric ⚡

[@murraysumpter8730]

Great review Chasing Cars. Whoops CarsGuide ie.. !

[@bananabear009]

at this price point, Toyota is a no brainer.

[@camwangs]

There's no toyota in this price point btw.

[@mrporsche4236]

If people drive the mazda 2 before the mg the sales of the mg in australia would be at zero

[@ajax2020.]

Go to the right car to see reviews for both mg3 models.

[@radissimo1]

no mention of android auto

[@TheMediacenterpc]

thats cuz the hipsters only think apple fruit company phones exist

[@hdvoice]

That’s a given.

[@hasan_z]

It exists

[@SuperSymbol]

That’s quite expensive for an hatchback at this size.

[@hasan_z]

Is there cheaper?

[@carlcao5091]

wow I always take photos of my cars there 😂

[@satchycollins3985]

Thanks

[@ozamosantuwe]

Hi Morten Harket! If you get it😉

[@MecTecher]

This would be a good hybrid but it suffers from a few problems: 1 - Much pricier than previous generation and now very close to other more reputable brands. 2 - Requires 95 when others in the range only need 91. 3 - Worse fuel consumption than others even with 95 compared to 91 others use. 4 - Ancient 3 speed Trimatic transmission last used in the VL Commodore (40 years old!). No doubt contributing to poorer fuel efficiency and noise.

[@marcinsobczak2485]

4.5 liters per 100 km (over 60 mpg) is quite good. in europe the only competitors have 80hp petrol engines or are much more expensive and still slower, i'm looking at you yaris. so irl there's nothing to compare it to, maybe toyota corolla that cost 12000 euro more

[@hdvoice]

Ancient 3 speed transmission?! You are so outdated,lol. It got an electric motor to cover the low speed zone and thus no need to have more than 3 speed. The hybrid is very different from the Japanese hybrid type.

[@svd032]

VL had a 4 spd too. also how many gears do most hybrids have? that's right, they don't because they're a CVT.

[@waynesong7632]

Uber car, obsolutely. If the quality is good

[@RodneyW]

Does it have enough boot space for Uber? 290 litres is not great for taking a couple of people to the airport with luggage.

[@ajax2020.]

I'm trying to find car guides review of the last mg3 ?

[@DM-ol9ne]

It would end up costing more than a Yaris in the end.. resale value, reliability likely lower.

[@electricdiesel1993]

I'd rather push a Rover 220 GTi than drive an MG3.

[@pstanyer1]

its not game changing and can hardly be called a hybrid, its got a small battery than my drill.

[@Clove_Parma]

Voltage isn’t capacity. No it doesn’t

[@martintsang1662]

What drill do you operate that has a battery this size? 😂😂😂😂

[@svd032]

Better not look at the "Hybrid" Swift then.

[@hasan_z]

Wrong

[@GEE819]

I personally wouldn’t even consider this Chinese rubbish. I would rather purchase a second hand Japanese car instead.

[@camwangs]

Japanese cars are true rubbish, they rip you off with industry level recycled plastics interiors and thin layer of metal chassis and you're happy to buy a used one. You hit a yaris with a bike the yaris will shred into pieces first.

[@fairgo4156]

Ugly, expensive, no split fold rear seat, non-hybrid models are gutless. No thanks.

[@hasan_z]

One of the cheapest hybrids in my country

[@fairgo4156]

@@hasan_z That's great

[@ronaldscolaro2235]

MG website indicates 128 NM, not 420 NM

[@svd032]

That's the petrol motor, not the electric.

[@mrkring1526]

Pretty arrogant of MG and their pricing.

[@kelvinlam1875]

It's not going to sell well. Too expensive
