New MG3 Hybrid+ lands major award
- New MG supermini wins at Auto Express New Car Awards
- Outstanding value impresses judges
- Four Highly Commended acknowledgements for MG
Only a couple of months after arriving in UK showrooms, MG’s all-new hybrid supermini has secured its first major award from Auto Express. The MG3 Hybrid+ was crowned Affordable Hybrid of the Year in London last night. Auto Express Editor Paul Barker said:
"The new MG3 Hybrid+ packs a huge amount of punch for such a compact footprint, whether we're talking about efficiency, price, performance or ride and refinement. It's incredibly good value when you look at what you get for the money and is one of the best and most recommendable cars we've driven all year."
The new MG3 Hybrid+ also secured a Highly Commended rating in the highly-competitive Supermini of the Year category. David Allison, Head of Product and Planning for MG Motor UK commented:
“MG always strives to offer customers affordable cars, however it is equally pleasing to hear that the performance and efficiency of the advanced hybrid engine and the overall refinement of the MG3 impressed the Auto Express team. It is an excellent start for our all-new supermini.”
The MG4 EV continues to impress both motoring experts and customers, there were two Highly Commended results for the hatchback in the Small Company Car of the Year and Affordable Electric Car Year awards. To date the MG4 has won over 30 major awards for the UK motoring press.
The dramatic MG Cyberster, the world’s first two seat EV convertible to go into production and which will feature prominently at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, was also Highly Commended in the Convertible of the Year section.
The Auto Express New Car Awards highlight the best in the business across 25 categories, as well as our overall Car of the Year. Auto Express prioritises the things that are important to car buyers, picking out the most impressive cars available over the entire automotive landscape, helping people choose the right car for them, whatever their budget or requirements.
The SE and Trophy MG3 Hybrid+ models underline MG’s clear commitment to offering drivers exceptional value, with state-of-the-art hybrid technology available for a comparable price or less than many petrol superminis presently on sale in the UK.
The MG Hybrid+ SE starts from £18,495 OTR with the even more generously equipped Trophy model available from £20,495 OTR. MG also offers a 7-year/80,000-mile warranty.
