2013–2024 · europe · 2nd generation (SAIC-built, ZP11). UK sales from September 2013, facelifted September 2018, run out in early 2024 when the all-new MG3 Hybrid+ replaced it. This is the Chinese-era MG3 and it has nothing in common with the Rover-era MG ZR, MG TF or the 1990s MG3 badge: no MEMS, no 5AS, no Pektron security control unit and no BMW EWS. It is also not the 2024-on Hybrid+, which is a different car with a proximity key.
