2025 MG 3 Hybrid+ Excite review

The MG 3 Hybrid+ is a surprisingly peppy, enjoyable electrified hatch, but it needs one thing fixed before we can recommend it.

Attractive cabin with great storage
Smooth, punchy powertrain
Great value for money

Cons

Alarming power loss issue
Annoying active safety technology
Lack of physical switchgear frustrates
