Ey up, Chatter Gang!
MG3 - the CHEAPEST and BEST Hybrid? Initial Review
Normally when Colin makes a substantial purchase, he researches the product and watches countless online reviews - however not this time! The new 2024 MG3 Hybrid+ was only unveiled at the Geneva International Motor Show in February and without an in-depth review being available, or a test drive, he placed a deposit and waited anxiously for delivery.
Was this an impulse purchase that’s gone belly-up, or is the car the best thing since sliced bread? There is only one way to find out, grab a drink, sit back, relax and let Colin show you around his new toy.
Be warned Tim does not feature a lot in the video, it’s not one of our normal vlogs, however, a few of the Chatter Gang wanted a look! Be assured Tim will be back as normal in our next vlog!
Colin will let you know about anything he finds out about the vehicle on his initial first few days with the vehicle and he may well give you a more in-depth review when he has driven a few more miles.
In this video:
Does the vehicle look as good as it did at the motor show?
Is the MPG accurate?
Are the safety features a hit or a miss?
Is this the Cheapest and Best Hybrid on the market?
Would Colin recommend it based on his first 100 miles?
Join Colin as we review the all NEW MG3 Hybrid + and find out if it's worth thinking about if you're in the market for a new vehicle.
Colin & Tim, The Chatter Guys!

I've got the Trophy and I love it but there's one annoying loud beep that comes on for about 10 times before it goes off. It usually comes on when I'm on the motorway or A roads. I have no idea how to turn this off. Can you help?

@thechatterguys Ай бұрын

I agree and by elimination I think it's the Lane Departure Audible warning which you can turn off in the MG Pilot menu. It's too high pitched and goes on for far too long. Hopefully that will do the trick, if not I'm going back to the dealer 🤞

Thank you. Oh wow, I keep looking at that colour and wishing I had waited a bit longer. I would have either picked the Blue or Red. The black was the best colour they were expecting in the garage when I ordered it. But I'm not too disappointed in the Black! Blue does look amazing. The only issue I have with the tech is still the random warning that comes on now and again. I've turned off one of the warnings tonight to see if that helps 🤷‍♂️ Glad your enjoying yours

Can you confirm there is bluetooth in the MG3? just seen a forum post where the chap said there was no bluetooth and you have to connect to Android Auto to listen to music on your phone. I thought the MG app worked via bluetooth so i am hoping that is wrong. I would have expected bluetooth to be a standard feature?

@strapanasi Ай бұрын

@@thechatterguys I believe what is keeping the prices high is that only a few insurance providers recognise the model. My current car is registered with Aviva, and on Aviva the MG3 hybrid model doesn't exist. I used the reg number of the car that was at the dealership and compare the market was able to see it, but also only gave me like 4-5 quotes. My guess is that the model isn't recognised by insurance providers yet and this is what keeps the few prices higher. I could be wrong, but the fact that I can't even access a quote online from Aviva is incredible

Great review, I’ve been waiting for a review for this car since it’s release, an honest review from a regular customer and not a review from a car salesman. Did you manage to find out what the annoying noise was that kept warning you about something? also do the display screens have a day and night mode or do they remain dark mode?

@thechatterguys Ай бұрын

Thank you Tony that's appreciated. I'm still trying to work that out. I've turned off one of the warnings tonight that the garage suggested, in the hope of an elimination process! Does not help that the only owners manual is on the info screen, the PDA has not been signed off yet to go on the website. I've not come accross any options to change from dark mode, but they are very clear and responsive. When you have android auto on the screen you have to press the home button to active the air con controls, but I had that on my old car, so it's not too distracting. All in all, I find it a fantastic car.

It's averaging 50mpg at the minute, since I filled up, that's been mainly urban driving. However, I am going on a longer run tomorrow, mostly motorway, so it will be interesting to see if that changes. I did accelerate hard on an overtaking situation, it was smooth and left over cars in dust, not much extra noise from the engine that I noticed

@Galacticmaster Ай бұрын

The thing to watch with any MG is the build quality and transmission, this includes the gearbox and clutch, which can sometimes fail. Also, this can add to the poor MPG spec of the car. This is why normally MGS can be cheap on insurance as their parts are based on older technology which is cheap to fix but not for the consumer. Apart from the above, they look great and can be packed full of tech. The trims are higher spec than the European manufacturers too.

Thanks for your comment, I will keep this in mind. It's definitely got a lot of tech for your money

MG's are great cars its such a pity the MG3 didnt come with a smaller petrol engine and a 20kwh battery. Then it would be truly as hybrid. If it could do 50 miles on electric it would be perfect

I am really enjoying the driving experience. If it was a bigger battery would it have needed to be plugged in? I couldn't be doing with that. I'll be filming my thoughts soon on my first 1k miles

Hi Colin e thanks for your rewiew: I'll look forward further another videos about it. I'm an italina guy e I'm intrested with this new MG3 hybrid. Can I ask you your opinion about this What Car? video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gdF4acllnLqVe40.html . they compared MG3 and new suzuky swift. Mg3 came out like loser. Thanks in advance and I'll stay connected !!!

Thank you for your comment and the video link, I found the comparison very subjective. Comparing manual transmission to automatic and expecting similar results is bonkers. I had 65mpg on a recent 165 mile jounrey. They also said the cabin noise was loud on the mg but failed to mention noise from the swift. The only real fault they found with the mg was the adjustable seat and lack of split fold on the back seat, which is not a problem for me. I found the review favoured the swift too heavily. I hope to have another upload shortly. 🇮🇹🚘

Thanks do you comment, but it's a lot better than my old hyundai 68 i10, what are you comparing this to?

Anything German really the quality is just better. I work for a company which deals with ex motability cars alot of them are MGs mostly ZS and HS suvs the interior quality after 2 or 3 years of use doesn't hold up well. But my biggest annoyance with MG is the lack of rust protection underneath on the chassis they rust around the welds. I would definitely recommend getting it protected if you are keeping the car any length of time.

@@interceptor-ss8kb Well it is a cheap car so the interior is usually the place they can save the most money as a manufacturer. What's the closest German car size and performance wise? Polo GTI DSG but you would expect it to be a much better car as it costs 50% more.

Thank you. I will look into that.

Interior is actually very good for the price. Seats are very comfortable too even more comfortable than my Alfa Romeo. The MG3 has more power and faster 0-60 time than the Alfa and all that for less than half the price! :) Did i mention the MG3 has a lot more standard tech than my Alfa too.... collecting my MG3 Hybrid+ next week.
