  • MG Motor team reveals details about its latest flagship model

    2019-MG-Motor-MG3-910MG Motor UK, one of UK’s fast growing brands, presents its latest project: a new MG3 vehicle that would replace the current flagship model and would showcase new design, technologies and utility gadgets. And given that there are tons of personalization features, we are eager to find out more about this vehicle.

    First of all, the MK3 will be offered in three versions: Explore, Excite and Exclusive. All three trim levels are geared with Bluetooth, large color touchscreen, smartphone incorporation, DAB radio and steering wheel controls. However, Exclusive pack adds a reversing camera with dynamic guidelines. Sweet.

    Starting with relatively low price, MG3 would also try to appeal to enthusiasts with sexy design. The whole visual concept has undergone an extensive update and now showcases star-rider grille with neat frames and brand’s notable logo, clean lines and sporty expression. The interior, on the other hand, is practical, spacious and stylish. In fact, new MG3 offers one of the roomiest cabins in the supermini segment with class-leading head and leg room. The revised design has aided designers and engineers to pump up the space to a total of 285 liters of capacity.

  • MG3 Personalisation Design concept Unveiled at Superbrands London

    MG3-Personalisation-Design-Concept-THUMBMG3 Personalisation Design Concept was unveiled at Superbrands London as part of London Design Week. The car was created by MG Designer Louise Thorburn, who is a recent graduate with an honours degree in Textile Design. In fact, she is the latest addition to the MG Design team after completing two internships, one at MG and one at iconic shoe designer, Jimmy Choo, before returning to MG as Colour and Materials designer.

    The latest collection of MG3 personalisation graphics is dubbed Autumn Additions Collection. It will join the existing range of more than a million options that are now available in the MG3 range. Another interesting fact is that MG3 personalisation options have already achieved great success. Since the supermini has been launched last year, over 40 per cent of orders have included at least one specified design addition.

    Three new designs have been launched yesterday and they have been added to the online configurator of the company.  The MG3 has been launched in September last year, benefiting from great interior and boot space, superb leading chassis and driving dynamics and high levels of equipment on all specifications as standard.

    At Superbrands this year there are over 280 companies from 29 countries. They will be grouped into four ‘trends’: Raw, featuring exposed textures and revealed processes; Bold and Beautiful, exuding big colours and arresting visuals, Frame, with geometric and arrestingly simple design; and Refraction – optical effects and Pop Art stylings.

    The eight edition of the Superbrands event is currently running till 21st of September in central London. There the visitors will be able to see the very best in global contemporary design, witness more than 300 events and exhibitions.

  • MG3 Trophy Championship Concept Makes Debut

    MG3 Trophy Championship Concept has made a debut last weekend at the MG90 event, which saw celebration of the 90th birthday of the brand. In addition, at the Silverstone circuit there were on display historic, current and future MGs, including three concept vehicles. One of them is the MG3 Trophy Championship concept which is based on the current MG3 production vehicle. The concept model was created to highlight in-house engineering, design and calibration capabilities of company’s specialists.

    Compared to the production car, this one includes tuning of the 1.5 litre, 106 hp (78 kW), MG3 engine, which as a standard produces 136 Nm (100 lb-ft) torque. After the boost, the unit can achieve a max power output of 204 hp (150 kW) and 260 Nm (192 lb-ft) of torque. The body of the vehicle has also undergone a full body-lightening programme.

    Furthermore, the Trophy concept also includes limited slip differential, a fully adjustable Macpherson strut front set up with bespoke rear anti roll bar, adjustable front splitter and twin plain adjustable rear spoiler. As mentioned, the Trophy Championship concept was previewed at the MG90 event last weekend. The aim was to gauge potential demand for an MG Trophy race vehicle.

    MG3 is all about personal style, because it offers the ability for individualization. It is going to be offered with three trim levels, 10 colours and a range of at least 10 graphic packs, making the combinations almost endless.

    Some of the exterior highlights feature 6” Diamond cut alloy wheels, unique LED ‘hockey stick’ daytime running lights, sport-design bumper, side sill extensions, rear spoiler, sports-design rear valance, chrome exhaust finishers and MG insert headlamps.

    To go even further into details, from the front of the car there is an immediate flash of style hanks to the impressive ‘hockey stick’ LED daytime running lights, full width black mesh grille, black A-Pillar and ‘visor’ wraparound style windscreen.

    The side of the car is also striking with its dual color side skirts, lowering the stance, diamond-cut, dual colour wheels. At the rear is visible the rear valance insert inspired by generations of MG racing cars, a unique superelliptic tail pipe finished in chrome and a body coloured tail spoiler.

    Depending on the chosen trim level, the interior of the MG3 includes air conditioning system, six-speaker audio, Bluetooth with audio streaming, DAB radio, USB/Aux input, automatic lights, automatic wipers, rear parking sensors, ‘ZERO’ design fabric seats and part-leather trim.

    In addition, inside the car the occupants will experience comfortability, ambience and spaciousness. For instance, MG3’s ‘rolled and raised’ front dashboard design delivers an airy forward cabin space and increased legroom. In addition, in the rear of the car, the front seats are sculpted to allow rear passengers excellent space to travel in comfort.

    One of the main strategies used in the design of the MG3 was to bring about real fun of driving. Here the MG chassis engineers have delivered footed handling and impressive ride comfort.

    The other main strategy was to offer customers the opportunity to optimally personalize the vehicle. The available options here are roof, side and bonnet graphics, interior trims, wheels, vents, surrounds and mats in a choice of designs, colors and finishes.

    More importantly, the car will be powered by a VTi-TECH petrol engine, which produces 105 hp (77 kW). The dynamic and responsive unit is matched with a five-speed manual transmission. In addition, the model offers compact dimensions. It is just 4-metres long and thus it is really easy to drive and park and additionally it is very practical.

    Full specifications and prices of the MG3 will be announced nearer to the public launch by the beginning of September.
