With a 7 year warranty it actually looks ok but I wouldn’t have one out of warranty due to complexity of running two powertrains.

Looks great, good performance for a lot less than the competition.

Even ordinary hybrid Honda Jazz are £26k now. And they are undercutting ordinary Dacia hybrids.

Only issues might be tariffs pushing up the price a few thousand, as there is talk of hitting Chinese cars with penalties as their prices are a lot lower than EU cars.

A shame it's auto only as dad refuses to drive auto, but his yellow MG3 we all love and has been faultless, is due a change shortly, usually keeps cars 2-3 years and moves on.

Looks very good value to me, contender for our next 2nd car.

Awaits the "but you could have a used xxxx for that" posts.

Good to see a new B segment car hitting the market, when other manufacturers are dropping them.

Haha, as if. If the EU puts tariffs on Chines cars, the UK will fall in line.

I think it's okay although those alloy wheels look a bit small. Interior very dark also.

I wonder if it's unusually heavy?

190bhp yet 0-60 takes 8 seconds. Perhaps it's the auto gearbox but I'd have thought that should be under 7 secs.

It's more of a competitor for the Clio E tech than anything else.

A lot of hybrids are a bit slower in the 0-60 race, 190hp odd Toyotas are similar. Once on the move they’ve better, but the advantage can be less wear when pulling away.

VW automatics always got good 0-60 times but you wouldn’t want to drive them like that all the time as it’s a lot of wear.

I just had a look at the cheapest new hybrid jazz on AT.

The only hybrid Dacia seems to be the Jogger at £23k. So I guess he meant MG undercuts that?
