At 4,113mm long, the MG3 is slightly longer than the class average, and much of that seems to come from its protruding bonnet, rather than being put to best use for passenger space.

A 293-litre boot is pretty much identical to hybrid rivals like the Renault Clio and Toyota Yaris, but smaller than non-hybrid alternatives like the Skoda Fabia. The rear seat back doesn’t split as in most other rivals, which limits its versatility. The Fabia is also better if you’ll often carry adults in the back, because the MG3’s headroom is a little tighter than the very best in the segment. The seats themselves are very comfortable, though, and there’s plenty of foot space under the front seats.

Up front, visibility is reasonable, both ahead and over the shoulder. The driving seat has a decent range of adjustment, but there’s no reach adjustment for the steering wheel, which makes it harder for all body types to get comfortable.
