The MG3 Luxury Automatic: The Compact Hatchback That Punches Above Its Weight

The all-new MG3 Luxury Automatic has officially arrived, and it’s a game-changer for the compact hatchback segment. Combining sharp European-inspired styling with a tech-heavy interior, this flagship model offers a premium experience without the luxury price tag. For more, visit CMH MG Durban.

Performance: Efficiency Meets Power

The MG3 Luxury comes in two distinct automatic flavours, both designed to make city driving effortless:

  • 1.5L CVT Luxury: Powered by a 1.5-litre petrol engine (81 kW / 142 Nm), this model uses a CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) that simulates an 8-speed gearbox for smooth, linear acceleration.
  • 1.5L Hybrid+ Luxury: The star of the range. It pairs the engine with a 100 kW electric motor and a 3-speed hybrid automatic transmission. With a combined 155 kW and 425 Nm, it accelerates from 0–100 km/h in just 8 seconds while sipping only 4.3 L/100 km.

A Tech-Forward Interior

Inside, the “Luxury” badge earns its keep. The cabin is centred around dual-screen technology, featuring a 7-inch digital cluster and a crisp 10.25-inch infotainment touchscreen.

Standard Luxury Highlights:

  • Premium materials: Micro-fibre leather-trimmed seats and a leather steering wheel.
  • Connectivity: Seamless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration.
  • Sound: An upgraded 6-speaker audio system (compared to four in the base model).
  • Convenience: Keyless entry, push-button start, and rear passenger air vents.

Safety First: The MG Pilot Suite

MG hasn’t skimped on protection. The Luxury trim includes the full MG Pilot safety suite, making it one of the most advanced small cars on the road. You get Adaptive Cruise Control, Lane Keep Assist, Forward Collision Warning, and a 360-degree camera that makes parking in tight spots a breeze. For more information, visit CMH MG Durban.

If you do a lot of stop-and-go city driving, the Hybrid+ variant offers significantly better fuel savings and a punchier “EV-like” feel that the standard CVT can’t quite match.

Final Verdict

The MG3 Luxury Automatic is no longer just a “budget” choice; it’s a legitimate contender against the likes of the VW Polo and Suzuki Swift. With its 7-year warranty and high equipment levels, it offers incredible value for those who want big-car features in a small-car package.
