Car Deal of the Day: beat the fuel crisis with an efficient MG3 for £145 a month

Small, easy to drive and frugal, there’s much to like about the MG3. It’s our Deal of the Day for 26 March.

MG 3 Hybrid + long-term test - front tracking
  • Easy to drive; good equipment levels
  • Frugal – 64.2mpg
  • Only £145.38 a month – the cheapest supermini on our marketplace

Superminis have long offered customers lots of bang for their buck, and that's especially the case with the MG3. Prices for the baby hatch have now sunk to £145.38 a month, meaning that it's the cheapest supermini on the Auto Express Buy A Car marketplace right now.

This three-year deal from AA Lease requires a mere £2,043.56 as an initial payment. This is a 12-month lump sum, but you can knock this down to nine months for a very low £1,701.83. Do this and the monthly outlay only goes up by a tenner. Need more mileage allowance than the 5,000 with this deal? For £11.20 extra a month the cap can be revised to 8,000.

This deal gets you the SE, which is the entry-level trim, but still comes with a very decent haul of kit for the money. As standard, it gets a 10.25-inch colour touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, plus a seven-inch driver display. There's even sat-nav thrown in and a clever app to allow you to control various features of the car from your smartphone.

You'll likely be saving even more money when it comes to running costs, too. The MG3 is a full-hybrid model, which sees a 1.5-litre, four-cylinder petrol engine mated to an electric motor and a three-speed automatic gearbox. There's a pretty potent 192bhp on offer, which gives the MG3 a surprising turn of speed, yet it’s claimed to return 64.2mpg. 

The MG3 is a perfectly decent car to drive, too. Not thrilling, maybe, but quiet and relaxing.
