Why the different names?
Chinese brands often sell one car under several badges: a Chinese name at home (名爵3, Míngjué 3) and one or more export names abroad. Renames happen to avoid trademark conflicts, to fit a global naming system, or because the domestic name does not translate well.
Full-hybrid (no plug); the new MG3 is built in China for export only — not sold domestically.
