With new MG3 Hybrid+, MG brand is attacking a traditionally “mass” segment, that of small cars, where maintaining the balance between cutting-edge contents and accessible costs is today always harder. The model responds to this mission profile starting from the aesthetics, which challenges the refined sophistication, even stylistic, of the main rivals (in particular the Toyota Yaris and Renault Clio, the most successful hybrids in the category) with a modern but simple and balanced appearance.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

However, to embellish them there are interesting plays of lines that enliven both the front and the sides, giving the car a tone a bit sporty and very dynamic. In this it draws inspiration from more recent models such as the electric MG4, for elements such as the solid rib of the bonnet and the design of the headlights, adding however a bolder grille, enclosed within two large air intakes which almost form a second frame. Seven colors are available: York White, St Moritz Blue, Flaming Red, Morning Yellow, Pearl Black, Blade Silver and Hampstead Gray.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Not all of them, because some of the basic ones, for practicality, are still controlled by the “piano” button panel immediately under the display like audio volume, window defrost, etc. The graphics have also been defined to be as easy to use as possible, and focus on large symbols and figures and simple design also for navigation.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
