Geneva 2024: MG 3 becomes the new entry-level model
MG has posted the first teaser photos of the new MG on social networks, which will be the brand's future entry-level model, though not purely electric. The MG 3 is set to be officially unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show on February 26th. Visually, it offers no surprises and seamlessly fits into the MG lineup, parking alongside the Corsa and others with a length of around four meters.
A teaser video shows a rear inspired by the MG 5, while the alloy wheels are sportily designed and could be up to 17 inches in size. Contrary to the usual brand policy, the MG 3 is unlikely to receive a purely electric version, at least not at market launch. For the 3, we expect petrol engines (perhaps as a mild hybrid), to achieve the entry price that British colleagues from Auto Express estimate to be between 17,000 and 18,000 euros.
An E-version would rather cost around 25,000 euros according to this price structure and would definitely be desirable. One can certainly be excited.
What does that mean?
The MG3 competes against Corsa, Clio, 208, Polo, and – Dacia Sandero, which is likely to be its toughest competitor. With the targeted prices, MG will not position the 3 as a bargain-basement option, even though it is expected to be well-equipped and cheaper than Corsa and others.
