MG 5 EV Updates

Sunday, 10 November 2024 04:43 PM The MG5 EVs reliability is still being assessed, but MGs electric cars have generally been well-received by buyers. This positive feedback suggests that the MG5 EV could be a reliable choice in the electric vehicle market.

Tuesday, 15 October 2024 08:41 PM Euro NCAP has not yet tested the MG5 EV for safety, but given the strong safety ratings of other MG models like the MG4 and MG ZS EV, there is optimism about its safety performance. I believe this lack of testing is something potential buyers should keep an eye on.

Tuesday, 10 September 2024 04:06 PM The MG5 EV is one of the few electric estate cars available in the UK, competing with models like the Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo and the Vauxhall Astra Sports Tourer Electric. Its unique position in the market makes it an attractive option for those seeking a practical electric vehicle.

Wednesday, 14 August 2024 02:53 PM Despite the price increase, the MG5 EV remains a solid choice for those looking for an electric estate car. It offers 87kW DC charging, which, while not rapid, is sufficient for most users who charge at home. The real-world range is estimated to be around 190-200 miles.

Wednesday, 14 August 2024 06:50 AM There has been speculation about a new estate version of the MG4 replacing the ageing MG5, but current updates indicate the MG5 has been facelifted to align more closely with the MG4s design. This move addresses many of the criticisms of the original model.

Friday, 15 March 2024 01:27 PM The MG5 EV features a spacious boot with 580 litres of capacity, slightly less than the Toyota Corolla Touring Sports but still very useful. The vehicle also comes with the MG Pilot safety system as standard, which includes adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, and more. I think this safety suite is a major selling point.

Tuesday, 27 February 2024 01:54 PM In terms of performance, the MG5 EV offers 154bhp and 207lb ft, with a 0-62mph time of 7.3 seconds. While its not designed for excitement, its more than capable of handling normal traffic and can feel sprightly. However, the Trophy specs 17-inch wheels can make the ride a bit firm.

Tuesday, 27 February 2024 07:40 PM The interior of the MG5 EV has seen improvements, including an updated 10.25-inch infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and better build quality with plush-feeling materials. However, the part-digital, part-analogue driver’s display feels a bit clunky and could be improved.

Sunday, 20 November 2022 08:26 AM The MG5 EV has undergone significant design updates, including a new front end with slim LED headlights and a cleaned-up grille, and a revised rear with LED lights and a new bumper. This redesign brings the MG5 more in line with the MG4, enhancing its overall aesthetic. I think these changes make the MG5 look much more modern and appealing.

Sunday, 20 November 2022 11:53 AM The MG5 EV retains its 61kWh battery, providing a usable capacity of 57.4kWh, which is good for an official WLTP range of 249 miles. The vehicle comes in two trims, SE and Trophy, with the SE starting at around £30,995 and the Trophy at £33,495. I believe the value for money here is quite strong, especially considering the updates.
