New MG3 2024 review: hybrid supermini is a total bargain
MG’s smallest car undercuts all of its rivals when it comes to price, and it offers a huge amount for the money
Even before price is brought into the equation, the MG3 is among the most fun to drive, comfortable and best equipped cars in its class. It’s also easily the fastest while returning strong fuel consumption figures. That it achieves all of this while vastly undercutting the price of pretty much every other rival makes it a proper supermini star.
A new and contemporary look
New from the ground up, the MG3 is both longer and wider than the model it replaces, freeing up more interior space for occupants, as well as offering the largest boot space in the hybrid B-segment class.
Designed by MG's Shanghai studio, the all-new MG3 has a range of styling features for customers to choose from, including alloy wheels, LED headlights, and a new colour palette.
There are six paint schemes available for UK customers: Arctic White, Battersea Blue, Dynamic Red, Black Pearl, Monument Silver, and Hampstead Grey.
