Ahead of its launch later this year MG has confirmed pricing and specification for its MG3 supermini, with even the most expensive model priced at only £9,999 RRP.

All models are fitted with LED front lights, electronic hill hold and all but the entry model featuring a high quality DAB audio system. On the safety front there are six airbags, electronic stability control, corner brake control and traction control.

At the top of the range is the MG3 3STYLE with premium 16” “Diamond” alloy wheel and a sports body styling pack that includes the rear boot spoiler and side sill extensions. Standard high-tech convenience features include cruise control, automatic lights and windscreen wipers and reverse parking sensors, all for only £9,999.

The mid-range MG3 3FORM available for £9,299 includes air conditioning, DAB radio, Bluetooth and audio streaming, leather MG-design steering wheel with red stitching and steering wheel audio controls all as standard, above the entry model specification.

For those customers who want top of the range looks but find the high level of equipment in a 3FORM is enough, then there is the MG3 3FORM SPORT. This includes all the features of the mid-range 3FORM with the sports body styling pack and 16” “Carousel” alloy wheels at £9,549.

The entry model MG3 3TIME costs £8,399 and features a CD player with MP3 compatibility and Aux-in facility in addition to all the standard features on all MG3s.

All models are powered by a 106PS petrol engine with a five speed manual gearbox. Top speed is 108mph and 0-62mph takes 10.9 seconds, while the official combined fuel consumption figure is 48.7mpg with CO2 emissions of 136g/km.
