Description
The MG3 Hatchback 1.5 Hybrid Trophy is a compact and efficient vehicle that combines practicality with modern features. Equipped with a 1.5-litre petrol engine and a self-charging hybrid system, it delivers a combined output of 194 bhp, achieving 0?62 mph in approximately 8 seconds. Its 100 g/km CO₂, emissions place it in a lower tax bracket, making it an economical choice for daily driving.
The Trophy trim enhances the MG3 with premium features such as LED headlights, a 360-degree camera, and a combination of faux-leather and fabric upholstery. Inside, the cabin boasts a 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 7-inch digital driver display, and a six-speaker audio system with Bluetooth connectivity. Additional amenities include air conditioning, keyless ignition, and automatic windscreen wipers.
With its compact dimensions, the MG3 is well-suited for urban environments, offering easy maneuverability and parking. Its self-charging hybrid system provides efficient fuel consumption, making it a cost-effective option for those seeking a budget-friendly, feature-rich vehicle.
However, it's important to note that the MG3 Hybrid+ has faced safety concerns. During Euro NCAP crash tests, the driver's seat latch failed, leading to inadequate head protection and poor leg protection ratings. MG has acknowledged the issue and plans to upgrade the seat latch mechanism and airbag system starting in October. Despite this, the MG3 Hybrid+ retained a four-star overall safety rating due to stronger performance in other areas.
