This is the all-new MG3!
MG3’s latest hatchback rolls up with a super cheap starting price of just £18,000! The question is, if you’re looking for a budget car as your next set of wheels, should you consider it over other affordable options like the Dacia Duster?
For starters, let’s check out the design. On the outside, the MG3 is relatively smart. There is nothing too outlandish or unique about it, but it looks pretty appealing. There’s a large opening in the lower part of the front end, and along the side there are creases to give it some definition. There’s also a set of smart taillights at the back. It may not be that unique, but it’s certainly not offensive in any way.
However, unlike the exterior, the interior is far more unique. Given the price it’s still fairly well built, with leatherette included across the dash and other cabin areas. There may be some scratchy plastic when you reach a bit lower, but it’s to be expected on a car that is so affordable. There’s an infotainment screen on the centre of the dash and some physical buttons, and the seats are pretty comfortable, too.
When it comes to performance, there’s only one option available. It’s a 1.5-litre naturally-aspirated petrol engine coupled with an electric motor. It’s not a conventional set-up, with the petrol engine largely used to power the motor. However, all you need to know is that it can produce 194hp, and hit 60mph in just 8 seconds.
There are two trim levels to choose from, and the top-of-the-range car costs just £21,000! So is it a must-buy? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
