The MG5 EV offers a blend of practicality, affordability, and eco-friendliness that can cater to a wide range of potential buyers. ECO Conscious individuals, families, or those looking for their first EV could consider this car. Not to mention those needing a bit more boot space.
While vehicles like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf estate offer a familiar drive, the MG5's electric powertrain sets it apart. The Renault Zoe, on the other hand, is a commendable electric alternative. Still, the MG 5 brings the spacious estate element to the fore, being a true electric estate car.
Powertrain
At the core of the MG 5 is its electric powertrain. The 61kWh battery does justice by offering a decent range of 250 miles. Plug it into a rapid 100kW charger, and in just 40 minutes, you're ready to go with an 80% charge. For city dwellers, regenerative braking plays a role in pushing that number upward in urban environments.
Performance
Adding to its allure, especially for company car owners, is the advantageous 1% BiK rate from the 2021/22. It's clear MG built the 5 with an electric vision from the outset, leading to refined driving dynamics and a zippy response for a family estate. Comparatively, the MG 5 stands its ground, clocking 0-62 mph in just over eight seconds, courtesy of its 154bhp motor.
Equipment
Long motorway stretches? Expect a serene, smooth journey; we found it so good it makes you wonder why you would ever spend more on something else.
Space is another highlight. The cabin feels roomy, ensuring comfort for all passengers, while the generous boot space addresses practical needs.
Diving into its tech suite, the SE trim level will provide an eight-inch infotainment screen compatible with smartphones, LED daytime running lights, LED lights, 16-inch alloys, adaptive cruise control, and rear parking sensors underline its modernity.
For those eyeing luxury; the MG 5 Trophy version beckons. With sat-nav, leather seating, automatic wipers, climate control air conditioning, and keyless access.
Handling
It's not just about looks; the immediate acceleration promises a spirited driving experience in city traffic. Regarding road imperfections, the MG 5's suspension ensures a composed ride.MG's emphasis on affordability is apparent in the car's price and its long-term promise: an eight-year or 80,000-mile warranty. Safety, is still to be tested by EURO NCAP. Nonetheless, the standard vehicle variant boasts active emergency braking, lane departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and traffic jam assist.
