测试：MG3 Hybrid+ 195Ps
MG has not let up and despite a sensational reboot on the Greek market since last September, now it is back with a very important model. The most important thing after the ZS is that we entered the B-SUV category with the ZS, because the MG 3 is the car that puts it on the ultra-mini map, which is the most popular category after the B-SUV.
But more importantly, the MG 3 took its first steps with its Hybrid+ version. This version is equipped with advanced hybrid technology and excellent performance with 195 horsepower, but at the same price as a conventional car (from 19,950 euros). Thus, it justifies the uproar it is currently causing in the market, imagine what will happen when its traditional version is equipped with 1.5 horsepower from a 105-liter engine and has a lower price (rumored to cost around 16,000 euros)......
Originally, the MG 3 was the smallest model in the MG range, measuring 4.11m long, following the company's design language and, like the other models, with a distinctive character and an elegant overall image. The front is characterized by a specially designed light body and a dynamic bumper with large air intakes, with sharp edges running through the hood and sides of the body. The rear of the car is more interesting, continuing the sporty styling, with the main features being large taillights with tinted glass, a small windshield and a sports bumper.
Small MG 4
And the interior is inspired by its MG 4 counterpart. The modern design of its electric model has been shrunk down to the smaller MG3, with two digital displays that stand out. The first dashboard has a 7-inch diagonal and a 10.25-inch central infotainment system, with beautiful graphics and an easy-to-use menu, but the menu is also rich but not particularly responsive. However, we are certainly talking about one of the most modern and beautiful systems in this category, which is important, especially in this type of vehicle.
In addition, the MG3 has an ultra-complete set of safety and driver assistance systems, in particular the rich luxury version that we have (from 22,950 euros), with 11 systems under the protection of MG Pilot technology. Everything is fine, but there is definitely room for improvement inside the MG3.
The seats are cramped and somewhat uncomfortable after a few hours of driving, while the plastic at the top of the dashboard and the menu shortcut panel under the infotainment system could be of higher quality, but based on its overall excellent image, these are all blemishes. In addition, the space of the MG 3 could be better at least in proportion to its size, but that doesn't mean they can't accommodate 4 passengers. In terms of passenger space, few supermini cars get much better than this, while the hybrid powertrain has a slight impact on the available baggage space, which is a satisfying 293 litres.
Hybrids like the GTi
The MG3's Hybrid+ hybrid system combines a 1.5-liter atmospheric four-cylinder engine operating on the Atkinson cycle that produces 102 horsepower and a powerful 136 horsepower (100 kW) electric motor for a combined performance of 195 horsepower, which is also the most powerful hybrid and non-hybrid model in its class. Note here that there is another motor that works, but only as a generator to charge the battery. The hybrid state of the MG3 does not have the positioning of sports models such as hot cabins, and the dynamics, especially in this category, are more than sufficient.
The transmission is a 3-speed automatic, which is more civilized in operation compared to the CVT, but it affects performance because it has sharp steps with every gear change (especially when fully accelerating). Even so, its performance meets the most demanding requirements in the category, with acceleration from 0-100 km/h in just 8 seconds and acceleration tests from 80-120 km/h in just 5 seconds, which is remarkable.
The strength of the MG3 Hybrid+ among its hybrid competitors is that it combines a powerful system with a large battery with a capacity of 1.83 kW. This allows it to move more than other vehicles using the battery's power, whether it is running regularly or even continuously for about 10 km, as long as you are moving at a speed of less than 60 km/h. This keeps the average fuel consumption below 4.7 l/100 km in urban conditions, and despite the high overall efficiency, the average fuel consumption value in the mixed driving cycle does not exceed 6 l/100 km. Drivers can use EV (battery electric), Series (the engine acts as a generator to power the electric motor), Series, and Charge (similar to the Series, but at the same time the battery is depleted and the battery is charged while driving). less demanding), drive and charge (the gasoline engine drives the wheels while the battery is charged by a generator), and parallel (both the engine and electric motor drive the wheels).
Friends in the city, allies outside the city
The MG3 Hybrid+ also completes its pleasing image at the driving level, being able to meet all the needs of a model in this category. The first positive impression comes from its suspension, which, of course, consists of a classic front MacPherson knee arrangement and a semi-rigid rear axle, but it's set up stiffer than you'd expect from a hybrid in its class. For easier management of 195 horsepower, preferred. On the other hand, it is also very well done in terms of NVH, combining suspension features, comfort and ride quality reminiscent of a premium sedan.
As for its efficiency, although it has improved performance, it is clearly not a sports hatchback, although in this case the steering is relatively vague and the tires of the 55 profile (195/55R16) are chosen, it has a fairly nimble driving ability. The latter "cheeks" under pressure will slow you down a little, which will certainly change to the next size of the MG3 (205/45R17) with little loss in consumption, performance and comfort. Of course, even so, the MG 3 is still a very capable car in both urban and out-of-town conditions, outperforming many of its competitors.
Therefore, it is a very targeted and complete proposal on the current submini market, which, in addition to its excellent price-performance ratio and 7-year warranty, is also convincing in its overall characteristics and once again brings a difference to MG. Sentences like this are all the more proof that she's back better than ever......
