MG Motor has expanded its local product portfolio with the introduction of the MG3, a budget-oriented hatchback priced from a hair below R270 000.

The MG3 is available with the choice of two powertrains: a 81 kW/142 N.m 1.5-litre naturally aspirated four-cylinder petrol and a hybrid setup that pairs a 75 kW/128 N.m atmospheric 1.5-litre four-pot with an electric motor, fed by a 1.83 kWh battery, for a combined system output of 155 kW and 425 N.m of torque.

The non-electrified 1.5-litre is available with a five-speed manual gearbox and CVT, while the hybrid model sends drive to the front axle via a hybrid transmission. MG claims average fuel consumption figure of 6.0 L/100 km for the CVT-equipped petrol-only models and 4.3 L/100 km for the hybrid variant. The former and latter’s fuel tanks have a capacity of 45 and 36 litres, respectively.
