The arrival of the all new small MG3 this week with a $7,000 price increase sees
the demise of the sub $20,000 pricing point on the Australian market. The
outgoing and rather dated MG3 with a three-star safety rating was the only car
remaining under the $20,000 barrier. The new MG3 hatchback comes in Excite
and Essence grades and with a starting price around $27,000 drive-away is not
only larger and better equipped with an all-new interior but features petrol and
petrol electric hybrid power and comes with a number of active safety features.
Petrol variants feature a 1.5-litre four-cylinder engine using 91 grade petrol linked
to a continuously variable automatic while the hybrid models add a 100kW
electric motor with a 1.83kWh battery paired to a three-speed automatic
transmission – hybrid pricing starting around $30,000 drive-away. I’m David
