Vehicle Overview

The 2026 MG3 Essence is a compact hatchback that combines straightforward petrol-powered motoring with the convenience of an automatic transmission and the easy packaging of a five-door body. Finished in Hampstead Grey, this example has travelled just 10km and is presented as a new vehicle.

Its 1.5-litre four-cylinder petrol engine produces 142Nm of torque and is paired with an automatic gearbox driving the front wheels. The combination is well suited to drivers seeking familiar, uncomplicated operation, while the compact 4113mm body makes the MG3 practical for navigating urban streets and fitting into tighter parking spaces. A 45-litre fuel tank and listed fuel consumption of 6L/100km provide useful context for everyday running costs.

The Essence specification adds a considered level of equipment to the MG3's small-car format. Sixteen-inch alloy wheels give the exterior a more finished appearance, while the six-speaker stereo provides a useful foundation for in-car audio. A 12V auxiliary socket adds flexibility for powering compatible devices, and the adjustable steering column allows the driver to tailor the driving position for comfort.

Safety equipment includes ABS, a driver airbag and a front-centre airbag. The vehicle is also listed with an adaptive speed limiter incorporating road-sign recognition, a feature designed to help the driver maintain a chosen speed while responding to detected limits. The published ANCAP safety rating is four stars.

Inside, the five-seat layout gives the MG3 the versatility expected of a small family hatchback, with access through five doors and a footprint that remains manageable in busy environments. Its dimensions measure 1797mm wide and 1502mm high, while the listed kerb weight is 1657kg. The overall package focuses on accessible controls, everyday practicality and low-effort drivability rather than unnecessary complexity.
