MG MG3 Hybrid (2025-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Hybrid powertrain impresses for both performance and economy	Small boot and limited versatility
Affordable to buy and well equipped	Some brittle interior plastics
Pleasant to drive	Safety systems can get irritating

Quick Summary

The MG3 Hybrid+ marks a significant step in MG's resurgence, offering one of the most affordable hybrid superminis on the market. This smartly styled hatchback combines a low purchase price with exceptionally generous standard equipment across its two trim levels, making it a compelling high-value option. Its hybrid powertrain delivers an impressive 192bhp and promises low running costs, with official figures of 64.2mpg and real-world driving seeing similar results.

While it excels in affordability, equipment, and powertrain performance, the MG3 Hybrid+ has some practical drawbacks. The boot space is a modest 293 litres, and its versatility is limited by a single-piece folding rear seat and an awkward load floor. Interior plastics are generally hard, though visually well-finished. Despite these minor compromises, it's a pleasant car to drive with a firm-but-fair suspension, good body control, and decent agility, making it a strong contender for budget-conscious buyers seeking an economical and well-specced small car.

Best for: Drivers on a budget, those seeking an affordable hybrid supermini, buyers prioritising extensive standard equipment for the price.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising premium interior materials, maximum boot versatility, or a flawless infotainment experience.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the Corsa if: You're on a budget, seeking an affordable hybrid supermini, or prioritising extensive standard equipment for the price.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise premium interior materials, maximum boot versatility, or a flawless infotainment experience.

Competitive Position: The MG3 Hybrid+ enters the supermini market as a strong value proposition, particularly for those seeking an affordable hybrid. It undercuts rivals like the Toyota Yaris hybrid and Renault Clio E-Tech on price, while offering an extensive list of standard equipment that often surpasses competitors. Its impressive hybrid powertrain provides both strong performance and excellent fuel economy. While it may not lead the class in boot versatility or interior material quality, its combination of low purchase price, generous features, and efficient performance makes it a highly attractive option for budget-conscious buyers looking for an economical and well-appointed small car.
