EV Channels Review

Buckle Up pits the 2025 MG3 Hybrid+, Mazda 2 Hybrid, and 2024 Suzuki Swift Hybrid in a comprehensive triple test. The MG3 Hybrid+ emerges as the overall winner, praised for its stylish and well-equipped interior, comfortable seats, and superior standard equipment. While it doesn't lead in fuel economy, its over 60 MPG is still impressive for a petrol vehicle. The reviewers found the MG3's interior to be the most polished and visually appealing, with good material quality for the segment. The parking challenge highlighted the MG3's superior parking technology, though Rob Wilson was the standout parker. The Mazda 2 Hybrid, despite being the most expensive on paper, is criticized for its dated and offensive interior design, though its physical climate controls are a plus. The Suzuki Swift is noted for its cheerful interior, comfortable seats, and good practicality, making it a close second, especially if favorable finance deals are available. Ultimately, the MG3 Hybrid+ is recommended for its balance of features, comfort, and performance, with the Mazda 2 being a consideration only with specific finance offers.
