MG3 Crossover..

MG3 SW - 80,000rmb to 120,000rmb - actually might be worth it

The MG3 SW is set to formally go on the market on March 12th 2008, priced at a reasonable 80,000 to 120,000rmb. When China Car Times first heard of NAC’s plan to relaunch the Streetwise, we were dubious - could they pull off re-releasing such an old car? The answer is clearly yes, as the MG3 was looking good at the Guangzhou Auto Show, and looks pretty damned good in the pictures below:

The Streetwise is set to come with either a 1.4 engine paired to a manual gearbox, or the larger 1.8 engine with a CVT gearbox. The Streetwise is actually pretty well placed in China to take on the latest wave of mini crossover vehicles such as the SX4, Polo Cross, and perhaps even the Nissan Qashqai (once launched). MG dealers are reportedly accepting deposits of 5000rmb for the MG3 SW!

MG3 SW

Is reborn Streetwise better than the Rover original?

By Mark AndrewsJanuary 2009

Rating:

The original Streetwise was a cheap attempt at making the Rover brand more appealing to young drivers. By adding chunky plastic wheelarches, top brass aimed to tempt buyers of more fashionable SUV alternatives, such as the Toyota RAV4…

Can Chinese firm Nanjing use the same formula to capture sales five years after the original Streetwise hit the UK? We tried the new MG3 SW to find out.

On the outside, the car is virtually unchanged. The wing mirrors feature integrated LED indicators and the tail-lights are updated, plus MG badges have been fitted. But in every other way, it’s identical to the Rover.

Climb inside and it’s quickly apparent the MG3 has inherited the Streetwise’s poor finish. The controls for the lights and windscreen wipers feel cheap and nasty, as do most of the plastics. Worse still, one of our car’s air vents was already broken and the driver’s door rubber seal was coming apart.

Still, standard equipment is reasonable. The rear view mirror incorporates a digital compass and distance read-out for the rear parking sensors, while the six-speaker stereo has an MP3 input. There’s also Bluetooth with steering controls, although you get only two airbags, which raises questions about safety.

Our top-spec Luxury model’s 1.8-litre petrol engine was mated to a CVT box, and on the road it was a lively performer. But it’s very noisy at motorway speeds.

While the raised suspension offers good all-round visibility, it’s too soft, creating lots of roll in corners and a bouncy ride for passengers in the rear. The MG3 SW is on sale now in China, and could be offered in the UK from September. Yet there’s no disguising its age.

Finalmente qualcosa di nuovo
