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.
If you don’t mind spending a little bit extra, we’d upgrade to the top Trophy trim. It still costs less than most of the MG3’s rivals but adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, leather upholstery and rear privacy glass.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we created our free New Car Buying service. This links you with trusted local dealers who base their offers on prices haggled by our mystery shoppers.
