MG3 Review, Colours, Interior, For Sale & News in Australia

The MG3 has been a huge success story for the Chinese-owned British brand in Australia. It has gone from nowhere to being one of the most successful cars in its segment in the space of just a few short years, and a lot of that is because it offers customers a budget-friendly, stylish, well equipped and spacious urban hatchback.

Add to that a longer warranty than most of its competitors, plus eye-catching colours and up-to-date cabin design and technology, and it’s clear to see why it’s been a winner for the brand. If only as much attention had been paid to the safety tech offering…

The MG3 is affordable, with the 3 Core listing at just $12,320. The 3 Excite is hardly what you’d call expensive, at $18,590.
