It’s certainly a decent size given the compact dimensions of the car, and it has a light and shopping bag hook to keep things in check.
But take note that there is no spare wheel offered in the hybrid model, due to the placement of the hybrid battery pack – under the floor is just a tyre repair kit. If you buy the petrol MG 3, you get a space-saver spare.

Our expert take on MG3 drivability.
MG 3 Petrol
MG 3 Hybrid
The hybrid version drives more like a Toyota Corolla Hybrid than Yaris Hybrid, despite playing at the same price point as the latter. This car is more refined than a Yaris, which has a far raspier drive experience, courtesy of its three-cylinder engine.
This car is smooth in its behaviour and has a level of refinement that’s surprising in the context of the previous model and very much in line with what we’ve seen from the larger MG 4.
It’s zippy, eager in its responses, and actually hustles along if you’re in a hurry. And it does all of that without much fuss.
What colours are available for the MG3
Pastel Yellow and Dover White non-metallic finishes are standard.
The following metallic finishes are optional:
MG Australia offers a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for its model range, including the new MG 3.
Hybrid models have a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty for the high-voltage battery system as well, but you need to read the fine print if you plan to drive this vehicle for commercial use.
