NEW MG5 REVIEW: THE PERFECT ESTATE CAR? AND YES IT'S ELECTRIC

EV Channels Review

The MG5 EV receives a significant facelift, enhancing its appeal as one of the few electric estate cars available in the UK. The reviewer highlights the improved exterior styling, now more in line with MG's modern design language, and a significantly refreshed, more futuristic interior packed with tech like vehicle-to-load capability and MG Pilot. While the powertrain (single motor, 115kW, 61kWh battery) and chassis remain largely the same as the pre-facelift model, the driving experience is described as comfortable and engaging, with direct steering and responsive acceleration. Practicality remains a strong suit, offering ample space for cargo and passengers. The reviewer notes the combined range of approximately 235 miles for the Trophy trim and 250 miles for the SE trim, with real-world efficiency proving impressive even in adverse conditions. Key criticisms are the continued use of hard plastics in some areas, the lack of a driver's side grab handle, and the absence of a sunroof. Despite these minor drawbacks, the MG5 is praised for its value proposition and its unique position in the market.
