The MG3 Hybrid+ has been named Affordable Hybrid Car of the Year at the Auto Express New Car Awards, further cementing its reputation as one of the best-value electrified cars on sale today.
The supermini also earned an impressive 4.5 out of 5-star rating from Auto Express, reflecting its strong all-round performance in a highly competitive segment.
Judges praised the MG3 for offering a rare blend of performance, efficiency and affordability—qualities that helped it stand out against key rivals such as the Toyota Yaris. Its advanced hybrid system delivers punchy performance for a car in this class, making it feel responsive both in town and on the open road.
Beyond performance, the MG3 impressed with its excellent fuel economy and low running costs, making it an appealing choice for drivers looking to make the switch to hybrid without stretching their budget. Its competitive pricing plays a major role in its appeal, undercutting many alternatives while still delivering a high level of technology and comfort.
Inside, the MG3 offers a practical and well-equipped cabin, featuring modern infotainment, smartphone connectivity and a suite of driver assistance features. This combination of usability and tech ensures it meets the needs of everyday drivers and small families alike.
Another key advantage is MG’s generous seven-year warranty, providing added reassurance and reinforcing the car’s strong value proposition.
Auto Express judges highlighted the MG3’s ability to deliver “excellent hybrid efficiency with impressive overall value,” noting that it strikes a balance rarely seen at this price point.
With demand for affordable hybrid vehicles continuing to grow, the MG3’s latest award win highlights a broader shift in the market—proving that electrified driving can now be both accessible and enjoyable.
