Personally I would rather have the Triumph Herald or Vitese that's parked right in front of the MG. British Leyland reunion 😂

I sat in a MG3 two weeks ago. I liked the styling of the interior and the space you have in that car. It’s quite enough… the boot could be bigger though. The main problem for me really was the non available reach adjustment for the steering wheel. It just was completely impossible for me to find a suitable position in there 🤷🏼‍♂️

MG3 is cheaper because the poor Chinese workers are forced to work 60 hours per week over 6 days. They only get 1 day to rest and there is no employee sick pay or holidays.

Would it not have made sense to get a CVT Automatic Swift to make it a fair comparison? 🤔

Ordered a Ultra version of the swift for the wife in flame orange , July delivery :)

im looking at this car currently and the current 1 series 135i x drive preowned (which is more performance based)

How much battery did the MG start off with and what power/charging mode was it set too?. Important to remember the MG is an automatic (manual coming soon) and the Suzuki is a manual and therefore has a fuel efficiency advantage. I've owned a brand new Suzuki and found that very noisy (wind and road noise), so much so I sold it several months later (great engine though). I now drive an MG ZS ev and that's much quieter...I really like it

4th generation of Swift? What the fuck are you talking about, child?

I always admired the Swift - Suzuki have decades of small car experience but…. BUT…. What the absolute feck have they done to the styling??? It’s diabolical

400k? Lmao, it's at least double that. Whatcar, why do you not disclose the fact you can't get this Ferrari at sticker price today?

Just an cheap i3, 44kwh, ur better off getting an bmw i3 bigger and lighter in weight.

Love the review. Love them Swifts. I have one with no worries at all . I have clock 130000 miles already,

suzuki looks awful compared to the outgoing model

Nice review, thanks for the figures at the end.

No one charges up at home for 9p per mile, any with half a brain has a tariff that allows 2p mile

Never used eco mode to keep it fair ??? The fact that the MG has lots of gadgets to use for the SAME PRICE and the Aircon worked better so turn it to 22 or 23 centigrade. Strangely biased test me think's

The problem with your test. You are comparing a manual Swift with an automatic MG. Fuel economy will be different. The Swift should be better.

But the MG looks much better

We've just been awarded PIP for my son and are entitled to a mobility car. The amount of push for me to go electric waa unreal. I've been driving an old 19 year old Zafira for the past 9 years. It's been a workhorse. I don't think electric is for me especially on longer journeys. I can't deal with planning a journey to recharge or whether or not I can turn on the AC or heaters.

I had a MG3 not Hybrid for a month in the UK and it was one of the worst cars of the modern era I have driven. Firstly it’s gutless,lacking power, it does not warm up like a modern car (stutters,stalls and runs rough when cold). It cuts out when stopped after running at motorway speed and takes a few seconds to restart. It has window seal leaks, whistles at 60mph, it had rattles front and rear. When it was started the radio came on LOUD every time , so annoying. The reversing camera display had a haze and was hard to pick up any detail. A positive was it was quite economical on fuel. Overall not a good car.

A manual vs auto 😆

Pretty sure the Swift will be cheaper long term, less to go wrong

Check the insurance groups. Budget car? Sport car insurance prices.

The test compares completely different vehicles. Automatic transmission versus manual transmission, manual transmissions are usually more economical. The MG3's Eco mode was not used. The luggage was optimized for the Suzuki. With other luggage that is optimal for the MG3, things look different again. Perhaps the driving noise was due to different tires louder in the MG (tires can do a lot to reduce noise). All in all, a test that was neither fair nor correct! In addition, the design of the Suzuki takes some getting used to. Greetings from Berlin Germany.

I have the previous model SZ5 Mild Hybrid with 1.0L 3 cyl Boosterjet Engine which has 109bhp. Got to say very underwhelmed by the new model, it just looks lie a facelift of my car. Slightly different at the front, and the tail lamps slightly different as well. Interior is almost identical apart from the larger infotainment screen. Overall the car is not that much different. The main disappointment is the engine only delivering a measly 81bhp, don't get me wrong I love my Swift, but to release a new model almost identical with a lesser powered engine that is so much slower is a backwards step by Suzuki. BTW having now had a test drive in the new model last week can confirm it is like a snail on valium compared to The 1.0 SZ5 Boosterjet Engine, I was actually shocked at how much slower it was. Again I absolutely love my current Swift as it has everything, but current owners will be massively put off by a ridiculous loss in performance of a so called new model,and many like myself will not purchase this 'clone' of the previous model with a woefully underpowered engine.

Of course Suzuki Swift

I don't really adjust my steering wheel

4:03 100mph is slow for top speed

I have never spilt 60 / 40............always 100

Just goes to show the basic numbers on a car can be misleading. The swift bossing the practicality tests was a genuine surprise, but I guess it’s all down to the shape and design.

Sadly this is not a proper experiment two completely different cars and not using the MG3 eco option does not prove anything what so ever too much chatting and not enough proper testing

One thing I would say, I ❤❤❤ the Swift.

Definitely prefer the MG. I wouldn't buy Japanese again.

BYD biased yuppie discourse

Swift has half the power

Glad I ordered the new swift now.

Turn off the "music" ! Stop hand waving B.S. !

Many Chinese cars set the HVAC target temperature to be that of the air leaving the vents rather than the temperature of the cabin. So if you want 21C in the cabin, set the HVAC target to 24 or 25C. 🙂 (I have an MG4 so I expect the HVAC in the MG3 will work the same).

What car really don't like MG, I've driven the car myself and it's a great car, very smooth and I was achieving 48MPG without even trying.

Swift will retain value , mg will be worth the price of a bag of chips in a few years

My, that lovely little green and white Triumph Herald. 👍

I think the mpg of mg3 would have been smaller in city if the highway test had been done first

Ridiculous comparison review, a smaller manual Suzuki against a bigger automatic MG with almost 2.5 times the bhp. The reviewer has history with MG, check his other "full" review of the new MG3 ( sponsored by Renault), i would urge anyone looking at a full hybrid to test drive the new MG3.Super smooth, quiet ..loads of safety tech and great MPG.I have had 2 test drives and pick up my new silver MG3 hybrid+ next week :)

I love how my 10 year old Honda CRZ MANUAL can get better milage than the MG3 Hybrid on a daily run (around 55mpg), and is more fun to drive than both of them, and is better looking, more interesting interior.

made in China? hmmm, nope

On the subject of the MG having worse fuel economy, it has to be taken into account the MG has double the power and the 8.0s 0-60mph

Would have been nice to have a bit of info on how the cars drive and economy with an actual family (simulated) in the car. So 2 adults, 2 kids and 10kg in 4 carry on cases. So about 280kg in the car.

Really appreciate your hard work

congratulations for the video. I followed many videos made by Italian RUclipsrs and no one complained about the noise at motorway speeds, on the contrary, they say that it is very quiet and comfortable.....I don't understand where the truth lies...perhaps it's all very subjective. ...

Problem with both these cars is there just too expensive for what they are the Swift i agree is the better car and the MG3 i wanted to like but its a let down . I Just get a Updated Dacia sandero as it has now all the safety equipment now by law . 2 The engine is Better than the swift being a 1.0 Turbo 3cyl and in town mine averages around 42-45 Mpg and on the Motorway about 54 Mpg which is still good but mainly now to buy on is you can Buy one For £13K and a new Higher End Model at just over £15K and they now have a 7 year Warranty when you Service it at a Dealership Like what Toyota do.
