The design for the new MG 3 has been unofficially revealed ahead of an expected unveiling in the coming months.
Trademark filings for the exterior of the second-generation supermini, due on sale next year, confirm that its design will be influenced heavily by that of both the larger MG 4 and the new MG Cyberster flagship sports car.
Unlike those cars, though, the new 3 is set to stay true to its affordable billing by sticking with petrol power rather than switching to a pricier allelectric drivetrain - a decision seemingly corroborated by the new car's lengthy front overhang, sizeable grille and filler cap at the rear that is too small to accommodate a CCS charger.
