Overview
SZP1 MY21 Excite Hatchback 5dr Auto 4sp 1.5i Competing with Toyota Yaris, Kia Rio and Suzuki Swift, the Chinese MG3 hatch dominated the Australian light-car market in 2020. Available in Core, S Limited and Excite form, the five-door MG3 comes with standard four-speed auto-transmission, cruise control, air-conditioning (climate control in Excite), Bluetooth, Apple CarPlay, an eight-inch colour touch-screen (with sat-nav from Nav-spec Core upwards), front and rear parking sensors and alloy wheels (15-inch in Core, 16-inch in Excite). The 82kW/150Nm 1.5-litre engine claims 6.7L/100km fuel economy. There's an exceptional seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty but, reflecting the lack of electronic safety aids such as autonomous emergency braking and pedestrian avoidance, the MG3 gets a three-star ANCAP safety rating.
