#MG #MG3 #Hybrid - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
Very informative review.
wooo looks good!
Decent looking car with lots of features. Wish the hybrid+ was actually a plug in hybrid, but at this price it's understandable
Can anyone recommend a key fob cover for MG3 Hybrid? Cannot see any listed specifically for the MG3 Hybrid unless MG3 fob same size?
I had a petrol version of the mg3 and getting basic wear and tear parts was expensive and often quite tricky to locate
They have just opened up a second EU MG parts facility in Italy. They already had one in Holland.
Mg need to do an xpower hot hatch version 😎 nice car I drove one briefly the other day on to my truck for a dealer transfer, lovely car
Did You actually phisically check the computer 62.8?! I have a new model Ford that is off in showing avg.consump. but in a very good way, it's actually lower by 15-ish% regularly. But here I have a feeling (full tank to top, almost done, bact to top/milage done by galons) is gona show sth. else... Also what about the current consump. At 70-85mph, would be a very relevant, valuable info.
It looks good I think the main thing will be the deals available with finance etc as it’s very competitive at the moment due to new car markets struggling only thing I don’t like is the driver screen I prefer a old fashioned dial for speed etc
the 360 camera shows the car having a sunroof but its not an option on the car :( which is a shame because that's the only thing stopping me getting this :D
why would anyone want a sunroof? it only takes away a lot of headroom and leaks with age.
The main issue is that the trophy one is 20.5k. 21k with a colour. Thats just too much when a similarly equipped dacia sandero is 14.5k, 16k for the stepway, which is a bigger car. And the hybrid system is a gimmick. In real terms youll be lucky to break 55 mpg with the mg3, the sandero gets 50 mpg but is also 20! Insurance classes lower
Cheapest automatic Dacia Sandero is £17,945, has less than half the bhp of the new MG3 and no where near the same spec level
Does it feel stable at above 70mph? Or you feel like you’re flying already like other small cars.
Gold plated jewellery.
The one thing the new MG3 does not have that the old 3 has split folding rear seat ill wait to drive it myself to see if its any good of course hes going to praise it he works for You
Chinese commies' clunkers.
What visual indicator is there to confirm car is in EV mode? My current hybrid has "EV" illuminated in green on drivers display when it switches to EV mode.
Yes, it shows either EV or HEV on the driver's display to tell you which mode it's in.
@@ChorleyGroup Thanks for the reply and the excellent road test review.
Would make a good EV!
They are door mirrors.. what part of the wing are they fastened to??
How much weight can it tow?
It can tow up to 500kg (braked)
Looks more modern than the previous one but no split rear seat (had that on my 1982 Austin Metro!) and no in and out for steering wheel? Drove the MG4 while I was looking and decided against it as it felt cheap and never went off unless it was locked and no rear wiper! I got a Mokka ev from your dealership in Ormskirk and it’s well built and lovely to drive
Looks good. Great value for money.
I have one coming in two weeks, It is a Great car,
Merci à nos amis anglais pour cet essai. Le rapport qualité prix semble intéressant mais elle est quand même moins jolie que la Clio ou la Yaris.
Not sure I’d trust MG, my MG4 has a unrepairable fault since Sept last year.
Can I ask what type of fault? mg4 is the only full electric i'm considering to change my i30.
Love the car, love the drive, but issue which they are having trouble fixing is, cannot rapid charge! Car rejects all chargers currently. Happily charges at home on a slow AC charger, but not useful if I need to charge on a long trip.
I have MG4 as company car ,its flowless ,0 repairs for now and i drive it as everyone drive company car
@@phil1747Have you checked the thread on the MGEVs forum?
Will the heater be EV or will it work off the engine coolant please… ?
It works off coolant. Remember, this is a Self-Charging Hybrid, not a PHEV.
@@ChorleyGroup ohh dear, means winter the engine is running all the time to defrost and get the cabin up to temp, nice car I like the idea, I’m still looking at the options…. 😊
@@patrickh7368 Which you can all do via the app :)
Going to get one this month.
Did you order it already?

@@jeremyrigden9200 No🤣
Can I ask where the Petrol engine comes from..? Also is this on a crazy oil soaked belt or a chain driven cam with nylon tensioner guides (not self cracking plastic) please…? 🤔
The engine is MG’s own GS64 Engine. Chain driven and it has Teflon coated nylon tensioners guides (cracks not included) 😊
@@ChorleyGroup finally an engine designer with sense…. 😊 thanks
Nickel batteries? but aren't the best releases to date lithium-based?
An NMC is a lithium-ion battery that uses a combination of nickel, manganese, and cobalt as the cathode. NMC is the battery of choice due to its higher energy density and longer life cycle.
@@ChorleyGroupand produces the most bang for buck when it catches fire. Who doesn’t want a bit of cobalt sprinkled on the surface of their lungs? Life is hard enough, at least the cobalt will make it short 😂
Mg3 GUN
I am not sure if i heard reviewer correctly but it sounded like he said he had the aircon on and still managed to get 62.8mpg which is exceptional.
Yes, we had air con at 20°c, driver and passenger, boot full of camera gear, and drove it on all sorts of roads for 3 hours.
The best full hybrid compact is the new Jazz hybrid. Pricey but you get what you pay for.
Too ugly to be bought...
Picked my new MG3 hybrid from the dealer on Tuesday. Took it back within 2 hours.
Really REALLY annoying electrical 'chirping' randomly when driving along. Not speed related it seems.
Dealer tried resetting and reloading firmware, and now has zero idea what's wrong with it.
My first brand new car, 100 miles on the clock now, mostly added by the dealer taking it on 'test drives'.
FUMING!
Someone mentioned on another MG3 thread that MG dealer had told them the MG3 Hybrid would behave differently for the first 50 miles or so. ( presume to do with charging the battery fully for first time)..maybe that may be one possible reason?
Brand new model with brand new tech is why I will always wait for the facelift model where hopefully they fix the bugs and faults with the car. That applies to all cars including Toyota, but at least in Toyota case they do extensively test the cars before releasing a new model.
Tiny boot cant fit wheelchair inside unless wheels removed. Very cramped boot. But nice to drive.
I like MG car
Why why why no split rear seats?? That is a deal breaker for me. Who thought that was a sensible idea?
I wonder if it would be easy to retro fit a potential manufacturer fuckup correction 😢😂 in Italian video reviews they’ve said that MG acknowledged the issues
Other reviews are saying MG are fixing this so should have 60/40 split seats very soon.
@@MG3-Hybrid I wonder how many will be produced before they change it? I don’t know what they were thinking
looks great but with group 24 insurance no use for young drivers, old 3 was group 8.
It's called sell more cars when they facelift it in a year and fix the faults and stupidity design
You can get those mpgs out of a diesel without all the uneccessary electronic crap.
But at the expense of blocked DPFs if mainly urban journeys, and with much greater air pollution.
I love you fan you fantastic
What about reliability? Is the garage network there to repair these Chinese built cars. I'll stick with my Japanese manufactured cars for now.
7 year warranty as standard, and over 120 UK dealers.
MG have their issues if you research online. The Chinese can't compete with the Japanese on reliability.
@@ChorleyGroup Thanks for that.
@@jdmguy44 quite understandable for now, but japanese can't compete on price... until you believe the yaris is only 19900€ (like publicized in italy now) BUT only with financial service, then you look at what you really pay and... 5930€ before, 11500 after and 47 x 129€ for a grand total of 23500€ for the most basic model, but it was't 19900? For a decent one you are near 27k, so you are paying that reliability. (sorry if my english was not good).
The Japanese had problems when they first came to Europe with reliability and build quality as did the Koreans so give the Chinese a few years and they will have caught up.@@jdmguy44
Honda & Toyota Hybrid, Nothing Else.😊
Looked at one in showroom not impressed by this car. Ended up buying a Toyota Yaris as the build quality and interior were better.
Hope you never go to the mechanic for a breakdown because the few cents you save with lower consumption you will spend with a lot of interest. Hybrids have now become too complex to hope to save money by using them.
Good cars but it needs at least 7.5kwh battery to be truly useful and efficient around town
It'd be a plug-in hybrid then which would bring the price of the car up more
it's a full hybrid. a yaris has 0.9 kwh ! a prius plug in has 8.8 kwh ! that's the main point of a full hybrid ! a small battery ! and it is miles ahead of a bev or plug in hybrid ! you can do 2litres/100km in town ! it sips gasoline ! what do you want more ?! no gasoline ? you would still charge it with electricity made from coil or nuclear or whatever stuff ! it's just taking the polution from your tail pipe and delocalizing it else where ! with the added hassle of charging it, planing road trips ! full hybrid, none rechargeable is the real deal.
th-cam.com/video/VZU0t66uAVs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=OS_RkRkJGg0Rn064
it is on electric most of the time ! and it is your own electricity from the car ! and it doesn't consume all that much to make it ! 2 3 liters with a fuel tank of 40 liters, you would have to fill it up till the end of the month ! don't underestimate the full hybrid option, it might be the best
a bigger battery would make it more expensive and compete in price with the MG4 which has a 50kwh battery.
In addition to extra cost, a bigger 7.5kWh battery would add significantly more weight. As I see it, the problem with a lot of today's automotive tech, be it BEV, PHEV or HEV, is that all that extra weight compromises the very thing you've trying to improve on which is fuel economy. My very basic, ultra lightweight Suzuki regularly returns 70+ mpg & it's done it consistently over 8 years of ownership. It's the most efficient car I've driven in 45 years of being behind the wheel. It weighs in at a mere 835 kg! Sometimes the neatest technical solutions are the simplest ones...
Great car ruined by no splitting rear seat bench
Morris Garages 😅 English and Chinese cars are never better than Japanese cars. I'd take Yaris even if it is more expensive, or better yet, Mazda 3.
May be on face value , but longevity im sure its not going to be such a good buy
The old MG 3 was a distinctive design to my eye. The new one looks like any other generic little car. Nothing of any interest in the design. In my opinion.
Thankyou Nice motor, efficiency and Hybrid ? Lol .. bit of an oxymoron., why not make it a BEV and done with? surely the MG4 has led the way .
Now that public (ie destination) charging is increasingly available everywhere pretty much, why are SAIC mucking about with fossil fuel powered cars ? Very short term thinking.
Compelled by the design and very clever compactness but to me pointless petrol/ electrics engine(s) in a small car. 62 to the gallon hmm my old Zafira diesel would do that .
BTW that was relegated (but not disposed of) to be replaced by an MG4 , not perfect ( what car is) but at about 2p per mile 11k miles plus now in 18 months, is far more worthwhile
IMHO
Because SAIC still make the best selling ICE car in China. Also theres still demand for cheap hybrid.
Nobody seems to worry that the use of the MG name is a big cynical kick in the teeth of British manufacturing and culture..
No pride ...just price!!
Wait till you hear about Land Rover, Jaguar, and Lotus...
Interior completely bland screens look like 2015 Hyundai
Compare with a petrol car , that you step into, turn ignition key , and drive off. Simples!
This is just as easy, if not more so. You can jump in (keyless entry), press start button (no need to put key in ignition), and then twist the gear selector to D (no clutch to press). What's so hard about that?
@billweaver6092 Sounds like you would be happy with a donkey and cart to get around to be fair.
The new Yaris Hybrid is overpriced, cramped inside, noisy and very cheaply made. The previous model which I have is a much better car.
Toyota got the new Yaris so wrong
The Yaris is definitely not noisy or cheaply made. It has a more advanced hybrid system over the previous generation and is more refined, and efficient. The top comment comes from someone who has clearly not driven one. This video is a biased MG dealer review let's be honest.
@@jdmguy44 is cheaply made, the door panel are quite inexpensive well built, but cheap and the interior is noisy too, a tipical CVT problem, even the corolla is noisy when you push a little. And overpriced like ANY car in this historical period, you can't ask 30k€ for a well equipped yaris or a decent equipped Yaris Cross, 35+ for a Corolla... the same corolla that 2 years ago was under 30k.... Same goes for Hyundai, i will buy a Kona, but it cost like 33k in full hybrid version out of my league.
Toyota are in a different league to cheap Chinese 💩
@@Manc-fh5we sure, but not everyone had those 20-30% more to spend in a car.
Chinese junk.....get a Toyota...you will not regret it
Flood of cheap Chinese copycat cars 🚗 are coming this is just the beginning, whether they are any good 🤷♂️ who knows.
Will it be as reliable as Yaris Hybrid or last as long l really hate Chinese built vehicles there quality isn't as good as Toyotas and Toyota's are reliable will do a lot of miles in Australia a lot of kilometres and l really like Toyota's because of my 27 year old Hilux with 437000 kilometres on it and it still drives probably as it was when it came out of the factory when it came out of the factory in 1997 will this MG3 Hybrid last 27 years were a Toyota Yaris will ho on and last at least 20 years and do 500000 miles and the MG3 Hybrid will not Chinese built vehicles will be lucky to last 10 years or when there warranty runs out and in Australia thats seven years and comparing with all the crappy European cars in your video well l thought the MG3 Hybrid is a crappy car l can't see people in Australia lining to buy this piece of Chinese crap and remember that Toyota has been building Hybrids for over 25 years and China has been have been building Hybrids for maybe two years l can see people lining up to buy a Yaris Hybrid because Toyota is number one in Australia for the 25 years and believe me they are everywhere you are never to far from a Toyota in Australia
Another brand bias or Chinese haters??
@@TheKkpop1 I not a Chinese hater but l do hate Chinese built vehicles they are crap and unfortunately we get them in Australia and some Australians know they are crap they are very poorly built LDVs rust BYDs rust and l know people in the motor industry know that they are crap about 20 years they sold GWM SUVs and Ute's and you are very lucky to see any on the road they didn't last 10 years as for there EVs BYDs stands for Burn Your Drive or Driveway but now l myself own a 1997 Toyota Hilux has only done 437000 kilometres and l have owned it for five years and it's still running very well it doesn't burn oil and there many 20 and 30 year old Toyota's driving around and a Chinese built vehicle will not last ten years and by the way my Hilux has no bad rust but in N.S.W every vehicle over 5 years old has to have a yearly registration inspection and my 27 year old Hilux has never failed because of rust
Why you don't know how to pronounce "Toyota" and eat up half of the word??
It looks terrible, who signed off this rubbish design?
Toyota is stupid . They are losing vs MG , Kia , Hyundai and also car from China . Only view stupid still get Toyota .
Split link troll boy. Can’t even speak English 😆
La realidad es que Toyota sigue siendo líder por su fiabilidad.😊
Toyota is the world's biggest car manufacturer and sold 11.8 million vehicles last year a record in the industry so who are they loosing to if they are number 1 in world sales 🤔
Not for me I’m afraid cheap Chinese crap… my opinion
Chinese EVs are no go.Lack quality ! Prefer European EVs if I were to buy one ! Would prefer a hybrid instead !
Absolute rubbish... the new MGs are massively improved.
And where do you think most of the components in your 'European' ev come from or indeed is built? Mini, Volvo, lotus , smart etc. Ridiculous comment.
Slightly better Chinese crap than the EV effort, still crap.
In toyota I trust!Case closed!🫵
How is the NVH of the car?
It's very good, especially compared to Yaris etc.
