The MG 3 Hybrid+ is a fun and fuel-efficient hatchback with an attainable price point. With a P1,088,888 sticker tag, this hatch can turn a lot of first-time car owners’ heads—especially those looking for a hybrid to save on gas expenses.
This hatchback is the smallest in MG’s vehicle lineup, and joins the MG ZS Hybrid+ subcompact crossover and the MG HS Hybrid+ crossover in the brand’s hybrid department. The MG 3 Hybrid is powered by a 1.5-liter gasoline engine paired with an electric motor and a 1.83kWh battery, delivering a combined output of 187hp and 275Nm of torque.
Styling-wise, the MG 3 Hybrid+ receives MG’s modern design language with a rather aggressive-looking front fascia and a wide, gaping grille similar to the MG One. The rear receives a simpler but sporty layout with horizontal taillights and black trim on the bumper.
