[Chinook]

Hi everyone I have ordered a new 2025 MG 3 Hybrid trophy due to be delivered end of May my first Hybrid car I will be trading in my 2023 MG HS petrol could anyone tell me if the MG 3 will have a split rear seat and steering column which adjusts for height and reach thanks everyone Steve

I think the new one does have split seats and reach steering wheel.

Hi @Chinook, welcome to MGEVs, as Ann has said, it should have have the split rear seat and up/down, in/out steering column, any new ones coming into the country now will benefit from these features.

Keep in mind that "old stock" still can NOT have split rear seat and steering column which adjusts for height and reach.
The dealer where you ordered should be able to inform you.

I ordered the car on march 31st the dealer said it wouldn't arrive in the uk till at least the 23rd may so hopefully it will have the latest spec

Yesterday when getting the tires changed on my ZS Hybrid I had a quick seat in a MG32 at the dealership, and the one there definitely had an height and now also depth adjustable steering column and split rear seats. I'd be very surprised if a new delivery now would still be a pevious model year.

Hello

Is there a big difference with the steering column adjustment? I have the impression that the reach travel isn't very significant... Have you tested the MG3 without the reach adjustment to compare?

I think it depends on your build I'm fairly tall and tested an se model without the rake steering adjustment and my arms were definitely more stretched but still comfortable the one I tried with the rake adjustment moved the steering wheel approx 1 inch or 25mm

I never found the NON-steering reach a problem at all. even though I thought I would.

HI Ann as you say Cars without the adjustable reach on the steering doesn't create a problem I think the MG3 is a stylish looking and comfortable car the reach steering just made it more versatile with myself and my fiancée driving the car
