2024 MG 3 Essence hybrid - Best Hybrid for the Price? - REVIEW
MG 3 has vacated the sub-20k bracket in favour of the more lucrative 20-30k band, so does MG 3 still present the same value-for-money ethos that shot MG into the top 10?
Written review and Specifications HERE: gaycarboys.com/mg-3-hybrid-fabulously-improved-at-a-price/car-reviews-by-brand/mg-reviews/
MG 3’s inoffensive looks belies the techy goodness beneath her skin: MG 3 Hybrid is a beefy lass.
MG has drawn on a wealth of knowledge and experience to give the perky hatch a lusty 155kw/425Nm’s worth of grunt. The figures continue to be somewhat unbelievable, with a city fuel economy of 0.9l/100km. Just in case there’s been a mistake in the SPECIFICATIONS SHEET HERE ( ) - , we are checking those figures again.
You feel it under your foot, but it isn’t outright speed that impresses, it is the comfy package. There has been a big 7-grand price rise and with it, a huge leap in quality.
I won’t go on about the exterior, because you either like or you don’t. it doesn’t stand out in the car park which is perhaps the genius of its designers.
Inside, MG 3’s quantum leap is obvious.
The quality strikes that pose, the one that is somewhere between smug and satisfied. The neat cabin has a small driver screen and larger infotainment touch screen. The sound is adequate and the interface is faster than the MG 4 we drove the week before.
Apple CarPlay (usb) has been moody on all MG’s tested, and the MG 3 was no different.
The 2-tone effect is classy, with the white simulated leather and shiny white plastic giving the ambience the look of a posh tourer. The “PU” quilted seats do a decent job of leaving the gentleman’s club impression on those who see them. The manual seat adjustment gives away the cheeky bargain pricing, but I’ll take it.
There is no spare tyre so the boot is a little bigger than one might think.

Didn't explain anything. A completely silent video 😂
In fact, as a practitioner in the luxury goods industry, you need to go through a lot to find out which ones are fake, kislux which is why people buy fakes because it is difficult to distinguish
As ever a most balanced review leaving it up to the reader to judge. For me it would only appeal to buyers who purchase purely on price and have no interest or knowledge in cars or driving.
i can see there is a market for it but there was a 7 grand price increase. the buyer has to decide if it is worth it or not. there are so many new brands coming too
How is night recording?
did not test night recording, only low light in tunnel
I come and thick it
Moin
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Total waste of money cannot get it to stick
what did the manufacturer advise?
Cant compare that shit with the Land Cruiser. Honestly LC 300 has issues EGRs and DPfs and max out V6 engine possibly Addblue but its still going strong look at the 2nd hand prices. This shit will be worthless after the warranty. Furthermore try tow with that shit and see the results.
They are absolutely rubbish at night. Cannot see number plate as I experienced from behind. Even know the car behind me was right up my. ass. And he got away. Thanks navman. Next time mate you promote a navman dash cam do your home work properly. Like test it to how it should it claims to be used to see if it works properly. At night don't waste your time
it isn't a promotion it is a review. if you have a complaint, direct it to the manufacturer
Love the channel name. Does what it says on the tin. I had no idea right hand drive versions of this existed. I wonder if I can import an Australian truck into the UK instead of buying a lefty. They are almost too big for our roads as it is.
driving them around country lanes would be fun but cities not so much.
Very stunning ❤
i am interested in why for the top spec they decided not to use USB-C as the connector for the vehicle adapter?
they are all USB C from 2024
@gaycarboys ok I'll have to take a detailed look if that is the case. Previously was USB mini. Navman website says a USB-C vehicle adaptor wouldn't work with the pro though.
the issue was the output from the USB C. In other words the output was less the the 12V adaptor. I've used all of the NavMan Dashcams with various types of USB outputs and the only obstacle was rated output. provided it is enough (and not the USB used to connect to the infotainment system) then it will work. In any case all new NavMan units are USBC as i understand it
Just picked mine up. First delivery in Australia. It’s sensational.
Did you option the electrochromic roof?
That film you speak of is an electrostatic film onto which the 3M adhesive film will stick. It is meant for cars that have tinted front windscreens like mine. In some States, front windscreen tinting is legal (only the top 10% of the windscreen). There are 2 such films when you purchase the rear camera since rear windscreens are usually factory tinted. Cheers!
Prices have dumped big time. I paid $41990 for the GT in Queensland. I’ve seen them for much less in WA for demo’s
OUCH. The MG4 re drive away at 30k last month. There is a price war on now and it is certainly hurting 2nd hand value
Did you manage to mount the FITCAMX Dash Cam?
no, sadly. Not allowed to pull press cars apart, and the only owners I know weren't willing to pull theirs apart either. Seems to be a common issue
Prachtige en comfortabele machine, die Citroen C5X! Tip @ gaycarboys: Als je haar maar goed zit ! ...
Love your video and the car. Thinking of buying one. With regards to the tunnel noise, everything is amplified and even in my car with windows up, it's as loud as heck.
Yes it is extremely loud in a tunnel
How tall are you? I'm 6'4 so it's IMPERATIVE that I have space in my car. How did you feel as far as space goes?
around 6' tall
i orderd the middle of the range toytoa corolla corss gxl 2wd hybrid ored the new car in march this year so its a 12 mounths wait it will be February or march next year i will get my new car

How do you fold the rear seat down
steering wheel on the wrong side
This smart drive is commented to me not reliable and it can detect cars without being there and it brakes suddenly which can cause serious accidents 😢, love all the other things about this car
I love this car I think it needs a lower spec version to help with sales and to get people into the brand
Well done Alan and welcome to Ryan! The Corvette though, looks like a product from at least a decade ago, the interior particularly and that switchgear - what were they thinking? It might appeal to the classic car brigade?
it's the way it makes you feel though, and no car, including more expensive exotic cars, have ever had so many comments from onlookers, including kids. Oddly, we've picked up a Silverado and the switch gear is the same:)
Wtf?!
Agree no need for sunroof, just more things to go wrong
Got the calais v ...nice car...just get rid of the crap holden badges makes it perfect
great video ! Very realistic, I liked that.
I’ve just purchased one with rear camera also, do you have to scan QR code every time to connect to the app?
just during setup
@@gaycarboys ok cause I’ve connected during set up but it disconnects when it records again and then when I go on app it’s asking to scan QR code again to connect to use the app?
This car is truly magic😊 Firmness, who cares, it feels right and you can drive for a couple of hours and no discomfort, it's soooo good and serious fun😁😁😁
Mine is 2 weeks old. I'm still try to figure everything out. How much gas is used in Esave, N and D? I know it would be different for diff. scenarios but I'm trying to understand these features.
A truly enjoyable and balanced review. Will it compete with the RAV4 hybrid, especially at the price, the market will decide?
a very good question. there is probably a reason RAC4 is a top seller in the country
Why not shut off the background music?
will consider that. thanks
Is this work for remote control for the 2018?
unknown
You should show the remote where the bottom to push and hold too
it is impossible to demonstrate every single feature. the video would be an hour long
Pretty good review thanks mate. One thing I’m curious is what’s the night footage like.
we only tested in tunnels but they are fairly dimly lit. So far we haven't found any cameras that are great in complete darkness with no light other than headlights. Some are dazzled by reflective plates and signs. this one seemed fine
3:37 It doesn't have a 1.3 liter 4 pistons engine?
yes that is correct. Videos can't be edited once posted so you'll find the correction in the video description under NOTE. Hope this helps
@@gaycarboys Indeed! I haven't read the entire description; apologies for that oversight.
sadly occasional errors missed in edit can't be corrected but there you go. Perhaps we should move the correction to the top of description UPDATE: now further near the top of description!
An excellent and balanced review of an affordable mid size car. No need for CRT transmission (hurrah) and a spare tire (wonderful). Tons of headroom and rear space. Pity about the sound system. A real opponent for all those Chinese EVTs and backed by a proper dealer network. Korea is fighting back.
Good review thanks. Do you still consider the GXL to be a good value proposition or would it be worth looking at a VX or higher model?
$135000.00 plus on roads, it would need to be good. No wonder you were impressed. A total waste of money.
well it was nice..... for the money. but then it isn't my money so can be objective....
THE BEST
You forget to mention that if one requires any lane assist or any other option on this car the customer as to pay extra yet the Allure comes with it all for free.
that's why we include spec sheets with most reviews
Enjoy your reviews Alan. I've wanted a Citroen for decades and now they are leaving Australia, I feel it's my last chance to own one. I have just today test driven the C5X which I love. Great deals, however an obviously risky purchase. Must say it wasn't as quiet (road noise) as I hoped and the transmission was jerky at low speeds in two C5X's I drove. Did you find the transmission jerky? I feel there is nothing to compare at the current runout prices of this size, style, comfort and especially fuel economy. A spare tyre is also a bonus these days. I prioritise quiet comfort over all else. I would appreciate your opinion if you think there is car offering the quiet qualities of the C5X at this price. I understand the Subaru Outback is quiet and comfortable but I wouldn't buy due to poor fuel economy, and it's also not visually appealing to me. The German cars leave me cold. I think I may have answered my own question here, no expectations, but if you have the time I'd love your opinion.
it think it would be an excellent buy. at least for the meanwhile it can be serviced through peugeot it all goes wrong. I don't think there is any risk involved as Inchcape will back the cars at least for the warranty. It really is a great car and we're gutted that the brand is being killed off. But, there just weren't enough buyers
Hi could you please make a video about Citroën leaving Australia please 🙏🏻
was thinking about it. What a shame the brand is going
@@gaycarboys at the 19 years of age I must be one of the youngest Citroën enthusiast in Australia I would definitely want to see your thoughts in a video since you have owned a few French vehicles in the past
owned several, had several in the group of friends.... a sad day. ATM we're a lot of videos behind but will see if one comes together
Thanks for an excellent review. It might take an old time Alfa owner and lover a little while to adjust to electrification but reviews such as yours will make the adjustment a lot easier. Many thanks.
Its got a lot of poke in it. Its hard to deny the feeling of power:)
mate cracker review....I now know how useless this car is and don't even have to waste time in test drive> less of every feature and barebones! They are just living off the brand value! It feels dead cheap! I'll rather buy a Kona with that money! It makes me angry how could they ask that sort of price for that crap!
Thanks for the comprehensive review. I feel I could install it myself after watching your video. More of the same please.
higher grades are usually better but it all depends on the budget
My 2021 Niro PHEV is awesome! Truly the best of both worlds. No it is not a race car but the dual clutch transmission with sport mode is efficient and fun to drive. It has driver’s seat memory is power adjustable. Plus the front seats are heated and ventilated and full leather seats all around. The car is easy to get in and out of both front and rear seats, and easy to park and drive around the city, very solid on the highway, with lots of space in the back, plus roof racks and cross bars. I like the regular sunroof (not pano), and the understated styling helps this very cool car blend in. I added on a block heater for winter and rain guards for summer. The regular tinted windows are perfect. The sixteen inch wheels give a better ride and fuel economy than the larger wheels. The intelligent cruise control is my favourite feature. The dual zone AC is great and I like having buttons to push. The dual digital instrument panels give a ton of programmable information and again… blend in. Not like other cars that have an iPad stuck on the dash… I could go on, but you get the picture.
