You should change the tittle to MG3 vs Renault Clio 😂😂
Without ever showing or testing the renault. But a downpayment have and will obviously do...
Well said, does he work for Renault, we just ordered an MG3, which was a Brilliant test drive.
That just tittle tattle.
Not having a split rear seat is ludicrous - an innovation introduced by the modest Austin Metro 42 years ago!
Production version will have the split rear seat!
Not having a reach adjustable steering wheel is ridiculas in a modern car.
The DKW station wagon had split folding rear seats in the 1950s.
Feels more like a Renault Clio review.
I agree😂
I picked the wrong video to play the 'Renault Clio' drinking game.
Toyota have been building hybrids for years and they have a reputation for reliability, longevity... This also ensures good residuals..They have ironed out any issues years ago... So i will let someone else be MG's guinea pig...
Toyota's reputation is also one squandering decades that squats on an IP for the eCVT and $hit talking EVs
I used to buy Toyotas back in the '90s when they were sold on exactly the same basis as this MG. They were relatively cheap, practical & decently kitted out. I stopped buying them when they started getting expensive & stopped offering much in the way of value-for-money.
SAIC MG's parent company have been building hybrid cars for around two decades in China
The hybrid system has already been on sale in the MG VS in Thailand for the last couple of years (although with a slightly different battery).
This car won't last long enough for a second owner 😒
Is this a review on the mg 3 or the Renault Clio ?
Just bought one! Very pleasant to drive. Good visibility. Delivery May/June. We will see 🙂. Recommend everyone to take a look and a test drive. Looks smart and feels great considering the low sale price! Driven a Renault Zoe and tbh its not that different. Preferred the cabin in the MG.
Can I be nosey & ask if you managed to wangle any kind of discount out of your MG dealer & if you did a part-ex, did you feel you'd got a fair price for your old car?
I'm definitely interested in following your footsteps & getting an MG3 at some point.
Traitors
@@peterstevensons1181 Loony!
@rodgersmith3215 What colour did you go for? My silver comes next week.
enjoy your commie 3 speed
As far as I can tell the MG3 uses a 3-Speed torque converter, likely using 3 large ratios with the EV motor to assist.
The Clio on the other hand has an automated clutch-less dog-box with a second electric motor for synchronisation. It works similar to a high-low range splitter and gives the car a choice of 15 different gear ratios + reverse.
One of the MG dealers on UA-cam confirmed to me it's a conventional 3 speed fluid coupling auto, not a DCT.
@@MrSensible2 Thanks for the info. Should be more reliable than the Renault Dog-Box, that had a number replaced under warranty back in 2020 with the launch of the Clio Hybrid. I'm not sure how the Stellantis DSC6 DCT is going to hold up, DCTs aren't very complicated but they're not easy to get right as Ford (Dry Clutch Powershift) and Fiat (1st Gen Tipo Dry Clutch) demonstrated.
I would absolutely not call 40/60 split seats a "Luxury" FFS.
Rather the split seats with rear wind up windows.
MG are aware of this issue. The Italian press moaned about it last week. One said it appears the internal seat frame is actually a 60/40 split that has been made into a single bench. You will see @5:03 the single seat support. This would need modifying so it has two supports (one for each seat). It's not yet clear if that can be a dealer retrofit or it will be a factory fit only.
So if looking to buy them I would suggest hanging fire to see what happens if a split seat is important to you.
An MG dealership on youtube claimed these are pre-production cars and that when the final build model goes on sale it would most likely have 60/40 split.
@@gavjlewis No it isn't to us, just ordered the MG and had a brilliant test drive.
@@jeremyrigden9200 Nice. Did you go with an SE or Trophy trim? What colour? Do you have a collection date?
Well that was almost damning with faint praise! “Almost”, “ nearly”, “it’s ok”, “not too bad”, “if you want a cheap hybrid”.
The seats are 60:40 split. They will just change the seat cover and all will be fine. No factory modifications would be required. Often times the manufacturers rush their pre-production models and this is the outcome. It will come with one. Since the Chinese one has it.
It is a non issue for a lot of people..some people just look for something to moan about..i am more disappointed no spare wheel option ( that is my moan) as 12v battery in boot but it did not stop me ordering a Monument Silver MG3 Hybrid. Hoping to collect mine next week.
Just had a test drive in one of these. Had it for an hour, drove just short of 25 miles with a mix of motorway, town and b road. Floored it a few times to see what acceleration was like. It returned 56.5mpg, so quite a bit higher than this review states. Not sure how they drove it to only get between 40-50. Without flooring it, I would have been closer to 60.
Thanks for the mpg info. Overall what did you think of it? Worth buying??
Yeah, I ended up ordering one. Drove nicely and didn't feel anywhere near as cheap as I thought it would. Everything you touch feels decent. Acceleration is more than quick enough too. There's definitely a feeling of two "boosts" of power though. The electric kick ends and then there's a slight gap before the engine and battery work together again. But I didn't find it unpleasant or irritating.
@@thomascollett1605 Many thanks. That's a ringing endorsement in my book!
i had the 2022 MG3 and whilst it was certainly OK the ride was so very firm. it reminded me of the old mini before bmw bought them
I think he's only ever driven this MG3 and a Renault Clio so it's his only frame of reference? Or he uses the Renault Clio as his benchmark for everything, "Did you know the Titanic was 73 Renault Clio's long?"
Chinese cars face import duties to protect the UK market. If they were allowed in without duty they would be very much cheaper. A Tesla Model 3 starts at around £27k in China.
I thought our Model 3 cars came from the German factory?
The import duties are because the Chinese car companies are subsidised by the Chinese Government which the EU felt gave them an unfair advantage, so applied the tariffs.
China imposes tariffs and quotas on our car imports into China. We should do the same
Teslas sold in the UK are Chinese cars
@@lloydh.3771 The EU hasn't publicly decided if Chinese cars are getting excess subsidy....based on their recent report, it looks like they haven't found anything other than Chinese wages being cheaper, their factories being more efficient and their market being more price competitive/cut throat
As for tariffs, both the UK and the EU currently just have the standard 10% tariff on Chinese imports. The EU is currently in the process of deciding what tariff to implement although based on that report, it sounds like they're finding even a 50% tariff won't make European cars price competitive, because the Chinese brands have so much margin to play with. It also will annoy a lot of the major European brands who import a lot of cars from China (Renault, BMW, Mini, Mercedes)
But its Chinese !!! MG's parent company is SAIC Motor (Shanghai Automobile Industry Corporation).
no saic，mg might already forever disappear😂
Was this video surreptitiously sponsored by Renault?
7:41 I mean it seems like MG have kind of got this a little bit backwards with the transmission because the automatic version of the older one was a force speed transmission. And now this new one has a three speed transmission. I mean, if there’s going to be another new one, I bet you they’re going to put a two speed transmission in or one speed transmission.
I think I'll wait for the manual. The present model MG3 Excite is expensive to tax, but at under £14k is attractive if, like me, you're not into all the needless extras that come with lots of cars. A seven year warranty does give reassurance and, given my annual mileage is about 4 thousand miles, when I sell it on it'll be low mileage and a bit of warranty left over.
Nobody covers this in their reviews (and I have watched them all, including Italian ones), but...how do the speakers perform in this car? Audio system is important for me!
Thanks!!!
I thought this was just me. It doesnt need to be much but if i try a few tracks and it's direfull, i leave. I need my music.😂
It has a 6 speaker set up. That's all the info I could find so far with this car
@@koreya4015 That is quite standard setup for the price point, my worry is that the audio system quality is one of the things they saved up money for which would be a let down for me personally
@@strapanasi I would have hoped the Trophy spec had better speakers, however there isn't much info out there right now
You do always have the option of buying a basic spec car. Let's say you save 5000 like that. You could buy a pretty nice 4 ch amp and speakers for 1000. Something that will knocks spots off an OE setup.
The problem is that any problems with the car after that and I can promise you that'll be a convenient warranty "out" for the dealers. One possible way around that is to get the dealership to fit it or just get a reputable firm to do it and then you're in a good position to argue.
GJ
Pls review the Honda eny1 and Corolla 1.8lit hybrid as well
Corolla is not a new car
The e:ny1 review would be very short, one sentence in fact; Stay very far away
I have the new Renault Clio Esprit Alpine hybrid, and it's very noisy, a little jerky, not that quick, and the economy is in the low 50s, compared to my year 22 Toyota Yaris hybrid, the only thing thats better is the equipment levels.
@greengoblin2347 Thanks for the feedback..interesting. How long have you had the Clio hybrid? Think WLTP for Clio Hybrid is 69mpg.
@@MG3-Hybrid6 months, 5k miles, build quality is very good, but the hybrid system seems like it doesn't know what to do, I can only compare it to the Yaris, which was very smooth and quiet and fuel economy was very good at 66+ mpg
So you spend the whole video comparing it to a Clio but the in depth review is against the swift.
40 mpg for a hybrid is shocking.
I get 42mpg in a 10 year old 1.8 civic!
What are the buttons on the steering wheel like? Are they decent proper buttons or are they those crappy ones that most manufacturers seem to be fobbing people off with these days?
They actually feel nice and solid. Not asmr worthy but functional reactive and reliable
Thanks for an articulate review. The MG3 display is a straight borrowing from the more expensive MG 4 and 5 models, so a good deal if you are lucky with the Russian roulette process of left-hand touch screen operation. More switches, please! I wonder how boxey it sounds, especially at 60-70 on the motorway. Three speed gearing seems a major cost reducing measure. I have a second generation MG5 which has had major component failure and the driver's door rubber seal is disintegrating after 15 months. So, build quality with tge MG3 will be a concern.
I didn't have any problem with my old MG ZS2. Now I have a 1 year old first gen MG4 and it is nice and working well.
I have a 10 year old Polo BlueGT it’s just as quick as this and returns 45-55 mpg depending on city or motorway. I imagine it drives much better than this. How are these complicated hybrids progress?
The Polo Blue GT was one of very few small cars that mixed efficiency with good performance. Obviously now there is no replacement. But your car as a 5dr DSG car would have cost over £19k back then and just with inflation would cost £25.5k today so for MG to offer something like this in 2024 for only £18.5k is quite good. Back in 2014 pricing that's less than £14k.
Actually really competitive in small hatch world,
Economy not as good as I was expecting between 40 and 50mpg!!
I get 47mpg from my Duster tce
Was keen to see the new MG3 but I'm disappointed after watching that review
They were flooring it. It does do 0-60 in 8 seconds, maybe that's why 🤷
I regularly get 70 mpg from my Suzuki Celerio automatic. It's by far & away the most economical car I've ever driven. But, like me, it's getting old & at some stage will need replacing. I'd happily buy another but I can't so I'm looking at what to get next. The choice is between the MG3, the new Swift & the BYD Seagull EV which should be coming to these shores in Q4 2025. I expect none will be as good as what I have now but there you go...
@MrSensible2 buy the new swift it will be still driving when the byd has burst into flames and being scraped
I wouldn't take a reviewers word on mpg unless it's a long test and engine is run in a little.
They got between 40 and 50 so what are you on about?
I'd take the Yaris over Clio or MG3 anyday, Can't beat Toyota's, they're reliable, solid, good looking and are fun to drive, even for people like myself who aren't car enthusiasts, I'm personally a motorbike guy myself.
MG isn't the company it used to be back in its glory days, when they made vehicles like the MGB etc... many of which survive in preservation to this day.
Sadly no longer truly British, The only thing that remains of MG when it was British are the Badge and name.
Couldn't agree more. Wanting a few more horses, I opted for the Clio, big disappointment compared to the Yaris, also a biker guy 👍
Depreciation expected to be any good?
Looks very fiesta like especially from the rear
Nice little sleeper. Would take it any day over a godammit crappy more expensive Clio
Exterior wise, it is a very good looking car imo.
I wish MG would stop under-wheeling their cars. Even if they want small wheels, they should widen the stance a couple cm.
If the roads were silky smooth then maybe 17" would be better, but as many are now no better than the surface of Mars then 16" with more tyre is a good choice in my opinion.
It's a B segment car after all and I think 16" is quite common for the non sports models in most lineups.
@@gavjlewisyep. I think I agree. This does look a bit shopping trolley though.
I hate the current trend of huge bicycle wheels. They are ugly.
15 or 16 inch wheels are much better.
@@AB-yt4hd I think you might be in the minority there. Most designers think bigger wheels look better. Most people surely.
@@AB-yt4hd Agree,i had a Hyundai Ioniq ..bigger car than MG3 and also had 16 inch wheels and was great to drive.
40-50mpg. Really?. That's poor! My 1.4t auto astra does the same. From 7 years ago. And my 8yr old diesel insignia will do 45-55 around town and 75+ on a long run....
thank you !
You're welcome!
I'm looking forward to the WhatCar comparison of the MG3 & the new Swift & I hope they structure the test in a similar way to their previous ones.
What I'd expect to see is that driving in congested London, the MG3 will have way superior fuel economy on account of its much bigger battery & electric motors. However on long motorway runs, the reverse will be true on account of the Swift's far lower weight (950 kg vs 1300 kg).
If I'm honest, I'd probably buy the MG3 on account if its lower base price & no add-on cost auto box. However the bulk of my driving is tootling up & down the M3 which favours the Swift. It's a dilemma!
👀 stay tuned!
There is no comparison between the Chinese commies' clunkers and the Japanese reliable cars.
@@codincoman9019Go away Bot!
@@MrSensible2, again: there's no comparison between the Chinese commies' clunkers and the Japanese reliable cars.
You better answer this instead of labeling me a bot.
But, if you insist with this "ad hominem" attack, then you must be a bot as you are brainwashed by the leftards.
From my POV you better by the unreliable MG (ex-British, now Chinese). You fully deserve that lemon.
The hybrid Swift (because that would be the correct comparison) is too good for a commies' bot.
Extraordinary, is where we are with MPG - no I don’t mean it’s become really impressive. That the reviewer says the manufacturer claims over 60mpg, but they’ve only seen 2/3 of that, to 3/4 in their driving, and we don’t even flinch. None of us think ‘how dishonest!’. We literally have been conditioned to take the ‘urban’ fuel economy, the worst figure presented by the tests, as the best we likely will achieve almost regardless of how we drive. That’s what I find extraordinary. If it takes a ‘fudge factor’ of knocking 30% off the figures found, then I wish the official testing would simply apply that. Save me working it out. Take care all.
What Car?, This made me laugh so much! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the Clio drinking game. 🎉
I got a MG3 had nothing but problems with it. Swapping it soon for a Dacia Sandero. I’ve also been told by a ex MG salesman they’re always having issues so MG can’t be trusted especially with something new. Like the guy below says, someone else can do the “trial” for them. Sick of problems and waiting 6-7 weeks to get it booked in. I had squeaky steering, MG blamed my boot!!Had Dacia before, not brilliant but much more reliable.
Problem using metric data in lieu of imperial? MPH/MPG? What about kilometers per hour/kilometers per litre?
Have you heard of this thing called Google? It's very good at answering questions such as yours. Why not give it a go??
Please could you review dacia duster hybrid
Apparently the new Duster still has no auto-hold feature or adaptive cruise control. (still cruise control )
@@MG3-Hybrid thank you
Its the sandero this should be compared with not the clio..and the sandero is better in every way other than warranty duration..
He compared it to the Clio hybrid because it's it's closest competitor. The Sandero while size comparable isn't really in the same league. It's has half the power and it's 0-60 is 14.2s. It's not like the Sandero is much cheaper as the 90tce CVT is £17.295.
So looks and interior I prefer the Sandero but the performance and economy the MG will be much better. Maybe it would be a different story if Dacia offered the hybrid system out the Jogger in the Sandero but they don't.
Have you driven both? I have, and the MG3 I wasn’t concerned that a door panel was going to fall off on a motorway. The Sandero and Dacia’s in general I am…
192bhp for this car. That's insane. For reference the performance Ford Fiesta ST had about 195 bhp. 😂
This will be affected by weight, useable power ( as mentioned in the review ) and handling ( also mentioned ). 0 - 60 in 8 is good though. Rumour was that at one point MG were looking to do either a mild or hot version of the previous 3 but they didn't in the end. Would be interesting if they looked into doing something with this
The constant Clio references were so irritating .
The word cheap shouldn't be used at all, the word affordable is the right word, if it is really cheap, people don't need a car loan to buy this car at all. Plus, how responsive do you need a navigation system ? Not playing games on it. 😂
Might have had more sense making it an EV not a Hybrid, the Yaris does it better in Hybrid.
I’ve driven this back to back vs the Yaris and the Yaris is a joke hybrid wise compare to this… this thing has a significantly larger battery for starters
Yaris is a dead duck now once the new MG3 takes a hold. New King on the block..MG the 3rd.
40-50 mpg uk isn't anything to write home about, I can to this in our Dacia 1.2 turbo that we have as a work car.
192bhp? Typo at 5:40 :)
Not a typo! The combined power output is officially 143kW (or 192bhp).
Clio more polished than MG3 nope ! More expensive, yes !! 😂
…..or just get a used hybrid yaris from toyota dealer and get the manufacturer warranty, so all great……
Should be comparing it to the last Ford Fiesta instead
Full hybrid? I didnt know you could get a half hybrid
You can get a mild hybrid which would be the clarification being made here
@@benrgrogan ok and what's the difference between a full hybrid and a mild hybrid?
@@Jdmess9 basically a full hybrid can drive the wheels from the battery. A mild hybrid is effectively a petrol car with a slightly larger battery than normal so the engine powers the wheels and the battery is used to lightly assist the engine.
As a general rule, a full hybrid is more efficient
The car is literally a copy of a Hyundai i20/accent from all directions... Who would have thought one day Hyundai (notorious for copying back in the day) would be the victim!
Idk what Hyundai i20s Hyundai sell where you live, but they most certainly do not look like the MG3 where I live…
@@123silentassassinI’d say this looks more like the previous generation Seat Leon, from the side profile anyway
Only slightly better than a Dacia, best avoid
what about security ! Toyota cars have 5 stars euroncap, what about MG3 ? last combustion model had 3 stars and upto now, no crashtest data for mg3 2024.
Yes, I'm waiting on the MG3's NCAP test too but to be fair, the car has only just been released to showrooms. And the old MG3 might only have managed 3 stars but it's over a decade old now. All of the most recent MG releases like the MG4 have achieved 5 star NCAP ratings. Be patient. The testing will follow...
@@MrSensible2 thank you
I thought yaris had 4 stars I am not quite sure anyway I imagine this comes down to systems like lane assist and so on
@@x.kasiouris5503 thanks, ncap global for Toyota Yaris 2023 was 5 stars
if you didn't say it's an MG, I thought it was a BMW
Nicely put together video,but I’d rather buy a decent reliable non C.C.P vehicle.
Hybrid?!?! Come on MG, about time you were electric only models by now - that’s when you are the most appealing!
Except that's not what the SMMT sales stats say. Private buyers have effectively turned their back on EVs & are increasingly opting for petrol hybrids. MG are simply adjusting their product line to reflect consumer demand.
I'm considering this car versus the 2024 Yaris. Why should I opt for this car in steady of the Yaris?
More powerful and with less noise from the ecvt of Yaris.
Also even at 80 km speed, it can go only electric, the engine recharges the battery.
Yaris can't do that.
Make a test drive, i will soon.
There's no comparison between the Chinese commies' clunkers and the Japanese reliable cars.
Personally I would take the manual over the Yaris bit anyway I ended up buying Skoda Fabia mk4 style
Buying a Chinese commies' clunker over Toyota (#1 in low TCO= Total Cost of Ownership and #2 in reliability after Lexus) is pretty dumb.
Decent car, especially with the current finance deals available - low deposit and low monthly repayment. It's hybrid and a automatic with all the necessary tech equipment. Add the 7 year warranty and total ownership cost/experience is very attractive. The cheaper petrol version will be the volume seller
If it came in Greece on time I would consider getting it over the Fabia mk4 Style
Just do not like the hovering cheap Goodmans old TV like displays that not just MG is going with but that is just an opinon
Looks like Hyundai
I thought that especially the i20

Imagine spending all this hard earned money buying all this tech.. to relinquish total control to a hacker, when electric steering was first introduced, that potential was raised back then, today, it’s everything, computer whizz kids are at every level, good and bad 🤷♂️.
It must be noted , I’ve asked on two occasions what security is in place to prevent such a thing from happening after getting a personal guarantee from Garry here that no M G has been hacked and it was all fantasy 🤷♂️, both were removed, that tells me it is possible 😂
Is this a joke? I can guarantee not one MG3 gets "hacked" lay off the fantasy tv dramas maybe?
@@garybarry9365 This ain’t no joke, nor a world of fantasy, it’s a valid argument against ALL E V’s , in computer terms there’s no such thing as a SECURE system, information is leaked and hacked on a daily basis almost, so the question is, what y’all doing about , what’s your guarantee , because it’s only as strong as it’s weakest link , humanity.
Cyber security was mentioned with the introduction of electronic steering years ago , the issue is BIGGER today and no one is talking about it, so how and what’s YOUR guarantee .
@@garybarry9365 I repeat AGAIN, since you personally have a guarantee , what proof do you have E V’s in general have a tamper proof system that prevents a hacker taking control of the vehicle, you can’t answer for ALL but are guaranteeing M G won’t be , simple really .
Spot the loony!
Wait it has electric steering?
I worked for MG for a few years. Yes they are cheap and "good value for money", but you get what you pay for. Awful petrol engines, shoddy build quality, VERY unreliable and most of all, they lose an awful lot of their value very quickly.
This new MG3 I must say, looks horrendous. The wheels are too small, the front end has too much overhang in comparison to the rear. It just seems like an attempt at a quick fix to the previous diabolical MG3.
Feck the "sophistication" or mature feeling it's just more needless posh, weight and profits.
The MG2 would be astounding for 2014, and we can all agree that cars have grown too heavy, fat and expensive. The Renault Clio or Megane are a far and rough cry from what they once were
Everything I've ever had that was made in China, broke, quite quickly........
MG cars are cheap because their owner, the Chinese Government (which owns SAIC, which in turn owns MG), subsidises MG's design development and production costs
That's actually a good thing! They pick up the entirety of the horrendously high bill for technology & product development & I can pick up a modern, functional car at a ridiculously low price (even lower still if you are related to someone in the NHS!). You can posture as much as you like but me, I'm not going to look a gift horse in the mouth...
That would make sense if MG was price competitive in China. In reality they are not really. Compared to other brands in China, MG struggles to compete on price and this includes even Western brands. For example, the VW whose id3 undercuts the MG4 in China even though the ID3 is £10,000 more expensive in Europe.
The reason they are cheap is because - compared to Europe - Chinese labour is cheap, Chinese factories are often new/efficient and Chinese materials/parts can be bought cheaply.
No 60/40 split rear seat so that will rule it out for most people. What a stupid immision.
3 speed automatic! 😂
That would make sense for low voltage/kW EVs like the Dacia Spring, or Citroën Ami...
With a conventional ICE, you need lots of gears to evenly distribute torque across the car's duty envelope. With a hybrid, the battery & electric motor can be employed to 'fill the gaps' in the torque delivery curve so you need less gears. In my book, that's good engineering practice & not something to be sneered at!
Fantastic
I wonder if he owns a Renault clio?
Its not "cheap" though is it?
Its over 18k the new MG3, the current 1.5 petrol MG3 can be bought brand new for 13k and with some haggling nearer 10k
But its what I expect from Autocar
It's cheap compared with the competition
The current MG3 is a steaming pile of dicks and despite that cannot be bought for 10k new as dealers don’t have 4k in the cars. This new one is a 2 generational leap and is significantly better than the old one. Along with it being a HEV, it most certainly is cheap considering there isn’t a HEV priced less than this
There is no comparison between the Chinese commies' clunkers and the Japanese reliable cars.
Cheapest: probably. Best: not even close
China what are you doing
Making the Germans and Japanese shit themselves
I think you'll find they are offering competitive products at prices the long suffering populace of our Tory blighted island might possibly be able to afford. I for one don't have a problem with that.
They're making good cars, that's what
@@MrSensible2finally someone gets it

Nissan note e power much better
Can you actually buy the Note e-Power in the UK?? I'm not sure you can. As far as I can tell, the Note was discontinued in 2019...
It’s a hybrid - pass!
Think you'll find that UK private buyers have effectively outright rejected the current crop of full EVs as too expensive & too impractical. Sales of petrol hybrids, on the other hand, are surging. Go figure!
18.4k is a cheap car now? 😂
Very cheap
Its a Chinese Car. Would you buy a Chinese Car? I certainly would not!
Good! That leaves all the more for the rest of us.
My sister drive MG ZS ,cheapest "SUV" on market by far here and she in more then happy with it ,it was that or used quasqai (4-5 year old) becase budget was under 20 000 euros but in the end more sense prevailed and bought new MG ZS
Wait till you want to sell it , residuals gulp
If you read their written article they predict residuals will be better than a Polo for example.
@@martynmorris8160manipulation, especially that you compared to a German lemon! There is no comparison between the Chinese commies' clunkers and the Japanese reliable cars.
Terrible review. You can write title "renault payed ad mg test"...
Doug obviously prefers the Clio. He gave his reasons. If you are looking for a budget but decent car then Clio is difficult to beat. It was in that context Doug presented his review. That is complimentary of the MG.
No diesels🤨
Who buys diesels?
New diesel sales are through the floor, almost nobody wants them, give it a few years and new diesel sales will be zero.
I have an MG4 Trophy, looks very similar to this MG3. But, I can't wait to get rid of it. It is honestly the worst car I've ever owned.
Doesn't look similar at all and 13-year olds don't own cars.

As a Hybrid.... No. Maybe as a full EV.
Thats what the mg4 is for....you've got to offer a full range of vehicles not just blindly make everything a EV
Far far too expensive!
Okay, I’ll bite;
Where should a brand new automatic self charging hybrid be priced Nigel?
Great, more cheap tat to clog up our roads
It looks like dysentery
Looks like a baby MG4 👶 👶
MG2, MG1, MG MIDGET NOW ❤!
Just wait a year and buy it for £9000.00
A bit like Tesla depreciation!
How does that work when CAP HPI say after 4 it’ll be worth £12000…
Yuck
not very convincing
The only thing that needs to be changed is.. That awful MG logo 🤮
Honestly I like chinese cars but this one just sounds so bad for a 2024 launch...
Another anti-Chinese bot!
