MG<\/a> took the wraps off the new generation of the MG3, serving as the entry model in its lineup. The subcompact hatchback went under a significant visual and technological makeover and is exclusively available with a new self-charging hybrid powertrain producing a combined 192 hp (143 kW \/ 194 PS).<\/p>\n

We were already familiar with the sharper looks of the new MG3 from earlier teasers<\/a>. The hatchback that was designed in Shanghai follows the lines of the larger MG5 and MG7 sedans with more aggressive facial features and sculpted bodywork.<\/p>\n

Measuring 4,113 mm (161.9 inches) long, 1,797 mm (70.7 inches) wide, and 1,502 mm (59.1 inches) tall, the new MG3 is slightly longer, wider, and lower compared to its predecessor<\/a>. According to the company, the increased footprint results in a more spacious cabin and a 293 lt (10.3 cubic feet) boot which is incrementally larger than the cargo space of the rival Toyota Yaris Hybrid.<\/p>\n

The fully digital cockpit comprises a 7-inch digital instrument cluster and a 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen coming standard with navigation and Android Auto \/ Apple CarPlay connectivity. We also find an array of toggle-style switches on the center console, four USB ports, and more buttons on the steering wheel. Safety equipment includes the MG Pilot ADAS suite with systems like adaptive cruise control.<\/p>\n

Hybrid-Only<\/strong><\/p>\n

Unlike its ICE-only predecessor, the 2024 MG3 is exclusively available in self-charging hybrid<\/a> form. The Hybrid+ powertrain comprises a four-cylinder 1.5-liter gasoline engine producing 101 hp (75 kW \/ 102 PS), a single electric motor producing 134 hp (100 kW \/ 136 PS), a 1.83 kWh battery, and a three-speed automatic gearbox. The driver has access to three driving modes – Eco, Standard, and Sport – with the latter allowing a 0-100 km\/h (0-62 mph) acceleration in 8 seconds. At the same time, the MG3 has a combined fuel consumption of 4.4 lt\/100km (64 mpg UK) and emits 100 g\/km CO2.<\/p>\n

As for the chassis, MG engineers added new “ultra-high stiffness components” which together with a new suspension setup bring improvements in handling, ride refinement, and noise insulation compared to the outgoing MG3.<\/p>\n

\n\t\t\t\t\t}
\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n

Rivals of the new MG3<\/a> that also come with self-charging hybrid setups include the Toyota Yaris, Renault Clio, and Honda Jazz. The rest of the pack in the segment is either available with mild-hybrid powertrains (Peugeot 208, Opel Corsa, and Hyundai i20) or with non-electrified engines (VW Polo, Skoda Fabia, Seat Ibiza).<\/p>\n

MG didn’t announce pricing for the new model but it will reportedly start from around £20,000 (about US$25,500) in the UK. An MG spokesperson told Australian media that the new MG3 will be around AU$5,000 (US$3,300) more expensive than the model it replaces when it arrives Down Under in mid-2024. <\/p>\n
