It’s a promising model. Design-wise, the MG GT’s styling kept well with its sporty appeal. It’s eye-catching even beyond the yellow paint and despite its nose that appears to be pointing down, I like the whole fastback silhouette (the trunk door still makes it a sedan). The Nuclear Yellow paint job looks sporty, young and carefree. The sexy and sporty demeanor continues to the rear end almost looking feminine.

The whole styling from front to back, especially the LEDs is fire.  Although, the undeniable resemblance of the GT’s rear end with another European brand, particularly a German with a three-pointed star as its emblem is very recognizable.

Inside, the MG GT is fairly decked out for its price point. The top-spec Sport variant comes with a powered driver’s seat with height adjustment, comfy leather seats, a speed-sensitive steering wheel, a sunroof, a 12.3-inch digital gauge cluster with a 7-inch LCD display, and 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The GT Sport also comes with automatic climate control and power-folding side mirrors. Going for the top-spec GT Sport will get you advanced safety features like Lane Departure Warning, Forward Collision Warning, Intelligent High Beam Control, and a 360-view camera system.

While it is a very nice shape, those seated at the back will need to get used to the ever so slightly cramped headroom. Those who stand at my height (5’10”) will be a little cramped but without any sense of being claustrophobic. Rear passengers are also given their own A/C vents for added comfort.

The MG GT Sport that I drove provides ample power that will make you forget that it’s a bit on the chunky side, though the turbo lag will take some time to get used to. You’ll also feel the tightness of the speed-sensitive steering wheel, which adds to the sporty feeling when driving the car. The auto brake hold was proven to be a convenient feature to have amid the traffic.
