MG is going to release an entry-level 3 for about £17k

Although the MG3 will be launched in hybrid form, MG has not forgotten that there are still people who want a basic manual supermini at the lowest price.

will therefore be equipped with his 1.5 liter engine of about 100 horsepower and his three pedals with his gear lever. Nothing special, but this vehicle is becoming increasingly rare as other automakers scrap their superminis entirely or switch to more expensive powertrains.

Pricing is scheduled to be announced in mid-March, so we don’t know the exact numbers, but David Allison, head of product planning at MG UK, said that hybrid cars are equivalent to gasoline-only cars from other companies, and ICE-only cars. said it would be the same. There are thousands of people among them.

This would make the base-spec MG3 hybrid car about £19,000 and the ICE version about £17,000.
