  • Enhanced connectivity and technology across the range, including wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for a seamless in-car experience.

  • Refined design and usability updates, including new exterior colours and upgraded digital 360-degree camera technology on MG3 Luxury models.

Johannesburg, 17 August 2026. MG Motor South Africa has introduced a series of meaningful model year updates to its popular MG3 range, further strengthening its value proposition through enhanced technology, connectivity, and design. 

Building on the MG3’s reputation for delivering accessible style and smart functionality, the updates focus on features that matter most to modern drivers.

Across the range, the MG3 now benefits from wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto integration, allowing for a more seamless and intuitive in-car connectivity experience without the need for cables. 

In line with evolving customer preferences, MG has also expanded the colour palette with the introduction of two new contemporary finishes: Medal Silver and Andean Grey, offering customers greater choice and personalisation. 

For MG3 Luxury derivatives, including the MG3 Hybrid+, interior technology sees a notable upgrade. Two front central control USB Type-C ports are introduced, featuring one full-function port and one dedicated charging port, improving device compatibility and convenience. In addition, the previous analogue HD 360-degree panoramic camera system has been upgraded to a digital high-definition 360-degree camera, delivering sharper image quality and improved visibility for enhanced driver confidence. 

“These updates are a direct response to what our customers value most – intuitive technology, modern design, and everyday practicality,” said Jack Wang, Vice President at MG Motor South Africa. “With these updates to the MG3 range, we continue to deliver more as standard, making advanced features and connectivity accessible to a broader audience.” 

The MG3 has seen a notable increase in popularity in 2026 thanks to its striking exterior design, efficient performance and engaging drive, consistently ranking as MG’s most popular model each month. Already a highly compelling value proposition, its presence and popularity are now further enhanced through the addition of even greater levels of technology and convenience.
