For just over £18,000, the model may be affordable enough to pull people into the EV market who would have otherwise stuck with their combustion petrol and diesel motors.

The new design is visually stunning with unique colours helping it pop on a driveway with a spacious and tidy interior as standard. There is enough power to satisfy motorists who want to take advantage of the extra torque which comes with EVs but comfortable enough for those on longer journeys. Around £10,000 cheaper than its rivals, MG3 Hybrid+ has received acclaim in the industry and could mop up among consumers this summer.

Chinese EVs could become the biggest disrupter to the UK car market in generations and MG’s latest Hybrid+ should leave British manufacturers shaking in their bots. Upfront costs are still the biggest barrier to electric car ad.
