Fresh and exciting MG3 coming to Umhlanga

Fresh and exciting MG3 coming to Umhlanga

Date: 2013-08-30
South African fans of British connoisseur brand Morris Garages or MG have something to look forward to. This new MG3 supermini will appeal to the younger generation with its sporty 78kW engine and chassis dynamics, as well as generous spec, practicality and advanced safety.

The new MG3, which is expected to arrive at MG Umhlanga before the end of the year, and it is set to prove the saying that "dynamite comes in small packages"!

In the event of the MG3, however, it is more a case of TNT - the new supermini boasts unique design features such as its signature front LED daytime running lights and a wrap-around front windscreen. Hidden from the sporty exterior styling is a spacious interior - one of the largest in the supermini class. Multiple airbags and a host of mechanical and electronic safety features offer some of the latest safety technology as standard equipment.

The key attraction for many people will not only be the attractive looks of the new MG3, but also the massive fun factor offered by this new 5-door hatch with its spacious interior.

South African MG Chief Operating Officer Craig Lanham-Love says the new MG3 offers buyers something really new. "It is a stylish, highly practical car that is huge fun to drive and fun to own."

All four models are powered by a sporty DOHC VTi-TECH petrol engine with a 5-speed manual gearbox and have the same great MG chassis designed to make driving the MG3 a bit more fun than any average car in this segment. The 1,5? engine delivers 78kW at 6000rpm and 137Nm of torque at 4750 rpm, making it an easily driveable car. Acceleration from 0 - 100 km/h is expected to be around 10 seconds, reaching a top speed in excess of 175 km/h.

Contact Denzel Maistry of MG Umhlanga for more information on 084 096 7025 or visit their showroom at 1 Wilton Close, Umhlanga Ridge and take in a litle British culture.
