It’s a complete revamp of the supermini and now features a self-charging hybrid powertrain.
The New MG3 has six paint schemes available to choose from:
Pearl Black, Hampstead Grey, Arctic White, Battersea Blue, Dynamic Red, Monument Silver
The New MG3 Hybrid + has a larger battery, and a more powerful electric motor, setting new standards in the B-segment.
The B-segment hatchback is more spacious than the current MG3 hatchback while retaining the compact footprint that makes the MG3 such a popular model in the UK.
Boasting high levels of interior equipment and space, the MG3 Hybrid+ offers customers both practicality and efficiency.
The new MG3 is slightly longer and wider than the previous model
Grille stretching across the face of the car
293 litre boot space
Buttons and control pads located on the slightly square steering wheel
7 inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch touchscreen
Check dash pattern and quilted seat upholstery
The MG3+ Hybrid is the first MG model to have this powertrain. MG’s Hybrid+ powertrain makes the MG3 the fastest accelerating hybrid B-segment model in the class, with a 0-100km/h time of 8.0 seconds.
Accelerating from 80-120km/h at just 5.0 seconds.
Producing a combined 143kW, the MG3 Hybrid+ returns economy figures of 4.4l/100km and 100g/km CO2*. This is aided by a 1.83kWh battery, allowing for an extensive electric-only driving range – significantly boosting efficiency.
The all-new MG3 features a 75kW 1.5-litre petrol engine and 100kW electric motor, as well as separate generator motor which enables a wide variety of powertrain operating modes. This not only provides class-leading performance figures for a hybrid B-segment hatchback, but also allows for flexible running no matter the driving environment.
EV – Running on electric-only power for as long as charge allows
Series – Engine runs through to the generator, which powers the electric motor for drive
Series and Charge – Series driving, plus topping-up the battery when under low-load
Drive and Charge – Engine drives the wheels, while also charging the battery through the generator
Parallel – Both engine and electric motor power the wheels
Drivers can tailor the MG3’s responsiveness with the choice of three driving modes – Eco, Standard, and Sport. Eco mode is calibrated for optimum fuel economy and provides gentle throttle response for drivers,
while Standard provides a blend between economy and performance, and works well for most trip types. Sport sees a more responsive calibration, getting the best out of the combined power output,
delivering some of the best performance figures in the hybrid B-segment hatchback class.
