Overview
ZP22 MY26 Essence Hatchback 5dr Auto 3sp 1.5i/100kW Hybrid Today's third-generation MG3 hatch is bigger and better than its predecessor, adding loads of tech and safety features and offering the choice of a hybrid drivetrain. There are three MG3 levels: Entry Vibe, Excite, and premium Essence, powered by either of two front-drive powerplants: a 1.5-litre 155kW hybrid or a regular 81kW/142Nm 1.5-litre. The MG3's cabin is bigger than before with thoughtful design that includes numerous hidey holes, cubbies and deep door pockets. A rotary-dial gear selector liberates more room for odds and ends, the front seats are comfortable with an open, unobscured driving environment that includes a centre air vent for rear passengers.
