MG 3 has gained significant popularity in the UAE hatchback market due to its appealing price, economic efficiency, and practical features. MG provides an enticing warranty of 6 years or 200,000 km, a rarity among hatchbacks, which boosts customer confidence.

Exterior Design

The MG 3 boasts a sporty design highlighted by a broad black grille, complementing its sharp headlights. The sleek side lines and stylish 16-inch flower-shaped wheels enhance its dynamic silhouette. Its compact size makes it ideal for city driving, allowing easy navigation through narrow streets.

Interior Comfort

Despite its small size, the MG 3 comfortably seats five. It features a modern sports cabin with a flat-bottomed steering wheel and high-quality leather seats with diamond stitching. A 10.25-inch infotainment screen supports Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, alongside a 7-inch digital instrument cluster. Although some competitors offer higher quality interiors, the MG 3 remains practical, especially with improved cargo space when rear seats are folded.

Engine Power and Capacity

Under the hood, the MG 3 is powered by a 1.5-liter petrol engine delivering 102 horsepower and 142 Nm of torque. The engine is paired with a three-speed automatic transmission suitable for urban commuting. It offers responsive handling, and its suspension effectively absorbs urban road imperfections for a comfortable ride.

Fuel Efficiency

The MG 3's exceptional fuel efficiency appeals to young professionals or students seeking their first car. It consumes approximately 18 km/liter under varied driving conditions, making it perfect for daily use in the UAE.

Safety Systems

The vehicle is equipped with radar systems and four airbags. Safety features include lane keeping assist, emergency braking, rear parking sensors, and more. Some models may offer a 360-degree camera; check with your local dealer if this option is desired.

In conclusion, while not the most luxurious or technologically advanced among MG cars, the MG 3 stands out as an ideal choice for young drivers seeking performance and flexibility in city driving. Prices start around AED 43,000 and can increase based on added features or model variants. For those looking for more premium options, MG offers numerous impressive models with long-term warranties as well.
