MG\u2019s next generation MG3 supermini is about to be revealed, joining the line up to, in all likelihood, become one of the UK\u2019s cheapest new cars on sale.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The new Vauxhall Corsa-sized model won\u2019t feature an all-electric powertrain as in the new MG4, instead retaining a combustion powertrain that\u2019s expected to feature some level of mild-hybrid tech.<\/p>\n<p>Designed principally to be efficient and low-cost, the new model &#8211; which has previously been leaked in a set of patent images &#8211; features a new design taking inspiration directly from the Cybester Roadster. We can see similarly shaped swept-back headlights, flowing bodywork and a large low-mounted grille opening.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--RbNxHhss--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1684252647\/autoexpress\/2023\/05\/MG%20Cyberster%20and%20MGB.jpg\">MG Cyberster vs MGB: reimagining the roadster <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unlike the electrically-powered Roadster, the grille will feed air to a powertrain that we expect to be close to the existing MG3\u2019s in terms of specification. Expect a small four-cylinder petrol engine with around 100bhp, paired to a manual gearbox or possibly a new automatic transmission.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Expect useful gains in interior space and refinement compared to the current MG3, plus a brand new interior that features MG\u2019s latest digital interfaces, including potentially the same 10.25-inch touchscreen as found in the MG4.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>As it stands, the current MG3 is one of the UK\u2019s most affordable new cars, starting at just \u00a313,820 for the entry-level Excite model. We expect the new model\u2019s price to grow, especially if any significant hybridisation elements are fitted, but it will still probably undercut rivals like the Corsa, Clio or 208 significantly &#8211;\u00a0 acting as a direct rival to true budget models like the Dacia Sandero which is currently priced from \u00a313,795.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We expect the new MG3 to make an official debut in the next few months, helping MG continue its momentum in the sales charts as its market share continues to grow.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Want the latest car news in your inbox?
