It’s a pretty well-equipped starter car

True, it’s been a hot minute. Hard to imagine how popular this segment once was, with models like the Jazz, the Yaris, and the Mazda 2 winning the hearts of buyers with their fun factor, economy, and practicality. Now, the lone survivor of this trio is the Mazda 2; the City Hatch has taken the Jazz’s place in the lineup, while you can only get the Yaris name as a crossover or in full-fat GR spec .

OTHER STORIES YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED:The 2025 MG ZS claims to be capable of up to 23.6km/L in hybrid formChina has become the first country to sell over one million EVs in one monthIt’s not just you. The MG 3 is 4,055mm long, 1,729mm wide, and 1,521mm tall, which makes it 314mm shorter, 19mm narrower, and 33mm taller than the City Hatch. Its 2,570mm wheelbase makes it 30mm shorter between the axles, too. We’ve actually done a comprehensive size comparo of the two models here.

Those are very healthy-looking output figures for a small car, but don’t expect to be pushed back into your seat when you give the go-pedal a heavy press. You don’t have an infinite supply of battery charge, and the system meters out its use to keep you in either full electric mode at speeds of up to 30kph, or in hybrid operation for most speeds.

That said, we tried the different settings on the expressway. The hybrid info display showed regen braking power of around 14kW in low mode and roughly 35kW in high mode. As mentioned, the stoppers come on quite strong to maximize regen opportunities, but not to the point that one-pedal driving is possible.If you don’t like simple settings being buried in a touchscreen, you won’t be a fan.
