In the last week MG Australia has announced the 2025 MG3 Hybrid models will receive a structural and software upgrade, to enable an improved NCAP test score. Details are not provided but it was revealed previously that the major item preventing a 4 Star rating was a centre airbag ( designed to...

Thanks, some EV makers do offer a range of tyre choices and sizes, certainly BYD do here. If MG offers different rim/wheel sizes on some models then there should be a precedent

Another factor to consider, is that the cruise control system will manage vehicle separation. For example, if someone passes you and returns to your lane without allowing a resonable separation, and slows down, the cruise system will slow you down to return the separation distance to the...

In the Christmas crowd season, I had a pedestrian walk out in front of my very slow moving MG3 Hybrid, as I was trying to leave parking space. He was walking on the road, not at a marked intersection. Of course my car does not make any noise as it inches forward, but in reverse it certainly...

So are there larger wheel options for the 2024 MG3 Hybrid? I would like to go to 17" rims, which fit the wheel wells. Maybe a recommended tyres size?

In the lead up to Christmas i drove to my daughter's house in Sydney, a distance of 120kms. According to the car i used a total of 4.0 litres of petrol at M1 (100km per hr) speed, consisting of a lot of up and down terrain including two very long climbs after valley and river crossings. It was...

Here is the story about the MG Ute. Yes it is a re badged LDV from its SAIC sister company. Note the photos show it in its MG guise. https://www.carexpert.com.au/car-news/mg-ute-chinas-latest-ranger-hilux-rival-looks-very-familiar

So hands up, who has the highest mileage (or kilometre) MG3 Hybrid? How high is high? Any issues arising, advice, etc? What does your fuel use look like, ie is it the claimed 4.3L per 100kms, or whatever number is used for MPG?

Personally, I always use Android Auto and Google Maps. As it resides in my phone and has all my history destinations already in it, and i location share with my adult children. I went over to a wireless Android auto link (Ottocast), so I do not have use a cable in the MG3.

Looks great

Yeah, i suspect they are not interested in supplying pieces, but would like to just tick a box on the order form for a new car, which would get a package they offer. You can also bet that any mods you do directly will not be covered by MG warranty.

So there was a story in the media here in Australia, that the local MG importer is considering an upgrade package for the Xpower model. This is primarily a wheels, handling package (suspension lowering), and aero mods. Details here, but you have to pick your way past the ads embedded...

So we have recently had folks complaining about the MG3 Hybrid cabin heating system. I thought you might like a perspective on the flip side, the cabin cooling (A/C). As we are enjoying our usual summer weather here in Australia, I am happy to report that the MG3 Hybrid has no trouble...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with my MG3 Hybrid, it seems to function perfectly for what it is. But then I don't expect it to operate as if it's an old ICE vehicle.

Perhaps retreating to ICE vehicles will bring a return to your comfort zone. I have no concerns, as described above. Learn the car, and how it operates.
