MG's new hybrid supermini, the MG3 Hybrid+, has won its first major award from Auto Express just months after hitting UK showrooms. The vehicle was named Affordable Hybrid of the Year in London last night.

Auto Express Editor Paul Barker praised the MG3 Hybrid+, stating: "The new MG3 Hybrid+ packs a huge amount of punch for such a compact footprint, whether we're talking about efficiency, price, performance or ride and refinement. It's incredibly good value when you look at what you get for the money and is one of the best and most recommendable cars we've driven all year."

The MG4 EV continues to impress both motoring experts and customers. It received two Highly Commended results in the Small Company Car of the Year and Affordable Electric Car of the Year categories. To date, the MG4 has won over 30 major awards from the UK motoring press.

The dramatic MG Cyberster, which is set to feature prominently at the upcoming Goodwood Festival of Speed, was also Highly Commended in the Convertible of the Year section. This vehicle is notable for being the world’s first two-seat EV convertible to go into production.

The Auto Express New Car Awards highlight excellence across 25 categories, including an overall Car of the Year. These awards focus on what matters most to car buyers, helping them choose the right vehicle based on their budget and requirements.

David Allison, Head of Product and Planning for MG Motor UK, commented: "MG always strives to offer customers affordable cars; however, it is equally pleasing to hear that the performance and efficiency of the advanced hybrid engine and the overall refinement of the MG3 impressed the Auto Express team. It is an excellent start for our all-new supermini."
