New MG3 hatchback

[Shouyi]

2024 MG3 hybrid. Combined output at 192bhp. Petrol engine itself generates 105bhp. 0-100kmh in 8.0sec. Hmm..under COE classification, I wonder it falls under CAT A or CAT B.

CatB for sure. See the case of Nissan Serena

Might not make it here I think. MG here is almost all EVs and mostly Cat A cats I think. 

They pushing very hard now on their MG4 and MS ZS I think, both Cat A.

Looks like the MG3 might be coming. I suspect it might land in CAT A.

The CLA180 produces 130bhp while its 48V battery produces an additional 13hp. But the car resides in CAT A.

Using 3-speed auto for transmission?

Hybrid usually cuts over to full petrol mode at highway speed due to efficiency considerations. Someone needs to test drive this and let people know how high the engine RPM is at that speed.

hopefully, some test learning center can get a fleet to stress test the cars. It will show the true reliability and fuel savings of the brand.

0-100kmh in 8.0sec?

Lies, lies, lies!

Its not 8.0sec.

Its 6.7sec

This is a sports car pretending to be a family hatchback!

Its  bargain!

The secret of this car 6.7sec

is it has almost 200 hp!
