MG3 Hybrid+ Earns 4.5-Star Auto Express Rating After Impressing Industry Experts

Award-winning hybrid supermini continues to stand out

The MG3 Hybrid+ continues to gain recognition as one of the most impressive value-focused hybrid cars on the market, earning an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star rating from Auto Express.

Reviewers praised the MG3 for combining strong hybrid efficiency, punchy performance and impressive levels of equipment at a price point that undercuts many rivals.

Competitive pricing without feeling budget

One of the biggest strengths highlighted by Auto Express was the MG3's exceptional value for money.
Despite its affordable starting price, reviewers noted that the MG3 "doesn't feel cheap", with solid refinement, strong equipment levels and a driving experience that exceeds expectations for a car in this segment.
MG has positioned the MG3 Hybrid+ as an accessible entry into hybrid ownership, offering advanced technology and low running costs without the premium pricing often associated with electrified vehicles.

Bold Simplicity

Punchy hybrid performance

The MG3 Hybrid+ stood out particularly for its performance.
Its advanced hybrid powertrain combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with an electric motor to deliver almost 200bhp, giving the MG3 performance figures that comfortably outperform many traditional supermini rivals.
Auto Express described the hybrid version as delivering "punchy performance", while also praising its refinement and responsiveness on UK roads.

Designed for efficiency and everyday driving

Efficiency is another major selling point for the MG3 Hybrid+.
The hybrid system has been engineered to maximise electric driving during urban journeys, helping drivers achieve impressive fuel economy figures while keeping running costs low. Independent reviews reported real-world economy figures comfortably exceeding 50mpg, with especially strong efficiency in town driving.
The MG3 also benefits from regenerative braking technology, helping recharge the battery while driving to further improve efficiency.

Effortless Energy

Comfortable, refined and surprisingly fun

Reviewers also highlighted how enjoyable the MG3 is to drive.
MG's UK engineering input helped create a setup suited to British roads, delivering a comfortable ride while still feeling agile and responsive through corners. Auto Express praised the MG3 for being surprisingly fun to drive, with strong refinement and confident handling adding to its appeal.

Modern interior and strong equipment levels

Inside, the MG3 Hybrid+ features a modern cabin with digital displays, smartphone connectivity and advanced driver assistance technology.
Even entry-level versions come equipped with features that many rivals reserve for more expensive trims, reinforcing the MG3's reputation for value and practicality.

Assured Protection

Hybrid technology made affordable

The MG3 Hybrid+ has helped redefine expectations in the affordable hybrid market.
By combining strong fuel economy, engaging performance and generous equipment levels with highly competitive pricing, MG has created a supermini that appeals to both first-time hybrid buyers and drivers looking to reduce running costs without compromising on everyday usability.
