Car Deal of the Day: Fuel-sipping MG3 hybrid is a bargain at £193 a month

MG3 mixes an engaging drive with money-saving hybrid power. It’s our Deal of the Day for 27 December

  • Efficient hybrid power
  • High specification
  • £193.69 per month

British brand MG had a busy 2024. It launched all-new replacements for its top-selling ZS and HS SUVs, and also returned to the world of sports cars with its jaw-dropping Cyberster electric two-seater

But the Chinese-owned firm also showed it hadn't forgotten the entry-level end of the market, as it launched a completely brand new MG3 Hybrid+ supermini.

It's this car that has caught eye of our Deal of the Day experts, as VIP Gateway Leasing is currently offering the mini MG for just £193.69 a month. The 48-month deal requires a £2,623.30 initial payment and it's limited to 5,000 miles a year. If you need a larger allowance, the limit can be bumped up to 10,000 miles per annum for an extra £14.70 a month. 

This deal may be for the entry-level SE model but you won't feel short changed. Impressively, it gets a 10.23-inch touchscreen with sat-nav plus Apple CarPlay and Android Auto mirroring. There’s also a whole suite of safety equipment, including lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control, all as standard.

Interior fit and finish is good for the class, and there's plenty of space for four along with a practical 293-litre boot. 

Powering the MG3 is not a tiny three-cylinder petrol engine like in many of its rivals, but a four-cylinder hybrid. The 1.5-litre engine is mated to a 100kW electric motor and a small 1.83kWh battery pack, meaning the MG sips fuel and slashes running costs – MG claims over 64mpg is achievable.

That combination of petrol and electric power means 192bhp and very sprightly performance for such a small car. It’s an engaging car to drive, too, and rides out bumps in the road well thanks to a comfortable suspension setup.
