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.

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.
