MG Unveils Technologically Advanced MG3 Hybrid: A Game Changer in the B-Segment


 MG is shaking up the B-segment hatchback market with the introduction of the all-new MG3 Hybrid+. This technologically advanced hybrid boasts exceptional performance, impressive efficiency, and a host of features that redefine expectations in its class.



European Debut and Advanced Powertrain:

Breaking new ground, the MG3 will be available across Europe for the first time, marking a significant step in MG's global expansion plans. Offered in three distinct specifications, the MG3 provides drivers with tailored options to suit their preferences.

The MG3 Hybrid+ boasts a cutting-edge powertrain that sets the bar high in the B-segment. Featuring a larger battery and a more powerful electric motor compared to its predecessor, this hybrid system delivers remarkable performance and impressive fuel economy.

Practicality Meets Efficiency:

While retaining the compact footprint that has made the MG3 popular in the UK, the new model offers increased spaciousness compared to the outgoing version. This translates to a practical and comfortable cabin, ideal for both daily commutes and weekend adventures.

Furthermore, the MG3 delivers exceptional fuel efficiency and low emissions. Drivers can expect a combined output of 143kW, alongside impressive economy figures of 4.4l/100km and 100g/km CO2 emissions*. This combination of practicality and efficiency is further enhanced by MG's signature seven-year/150,000 km warranty that comes as standard, providing owners with peace of mind.

First of its Kind Hybrid System and Diverse Driving Modes:

The MG3 Hybrid+ marks a significant milestone for MG, as it is the brand's first ever conventional, non-plug-in hybrid system. This innovative powertrain utilizes a 75kW 1.5-litre petrol engine, a 100kW electric motor, and a separate generator motor, allowing for a variety of operating modes.

The powertrain seamlessly adapts between different modes, including EV mode for silent, zero-emission driving, hybrid mode for optimal efficiency, and engine mode for situations requiring additional power. This flexibility guarantees an optimal driving experience regardless of the journey.

Dynamic Handling, Refined Comfort, and Advanced Technology:

The MG3 doesn't compromise on driving pleasure. The chassis and suspension have been meticulously fine-tuned for European markets, balancing a refined and comfortable ride with MG's signature "fun-to-drive" ethos.

The interior boasts a twin-screen cockpit featuring a 7-inch digital instrument display and a 10.25-inch central infotainment system. Standard features include satellite navigation, smartphone integration, and MG iSMART, ensuring seamless connectivity and access to a range of essential applications.

Higher trim levels elevate the experience further with features like leather-style upholstery, keyless entry, heated seats and steering wheel, and a 360-degree camera. Additionally, the MG3 comes equipped with the latest Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and MG Pilot technology, ensuring enhanced safety and driver assistance while on the road.

Spacious Interior and Diverse Colour Options:

The new MG3 surpasses its predecessor in terms of size as well. It boasts an increased length and width, translating to a more spacious interior for both passengers and cargo. Additionally, the MG3 offers the largest boot space in the B-segment hybrid class, making it ideal for families and those who require ample cargo capacity.

To cater to diverse tastes, the MG3 is available in a wide range of seven eye-catching paint schemes: Pebble Black, Dover White, Cosmic Silver, Pastel Yellow, Diamond Red, Hampstead Grey, and Como Blue. With its distinct style, spacious interior, and advanced technology, the MG3 Hybrid+ presents a compelling option for drivers seeking a dynamic, efficient, and technologically advanced B-segment hatchback.
