Find your perfect MG3

Some rivals are better to drive and have better interiors, but the MG3’s cheap price tag, comfortable ride, efficient hybrid engine and standard equipment levels make it a very appealing choice among its small car rivals. We'd stick with the entry-level SE trim, but top-spec Trophy is not a big step up in price.

Despite the MG3’s affordable price tag, even the entry-level SE trim comes with lots of standard equipment. The list includes 16in alloy wheels, air-con, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera, automatic headlights and adaptive cruise control.

The Hybrid+ combines a 1.5-litre petrol engine with a 100kW electric motor for 191bhp and an official 0-62mph of 8.0 seconds.
