NEW MG S5 REVIEW & 1000 MILE ROAD TRIP PART ONE

EV Channels Review

The MG S5 EV marks a significant evolution from the ZS EV, built on the MG4 platform and now featuring a rear-wheel-drive configuration. This review, part one of a 1000-mile road trip, focuses on the SE trim. The reviewer highlights the S5's practical and economical SUV appeal, noting its spacious interior, improved tech with a larger infotainment screen, and a comfortable ride thanks to its larger tires. Key advantages include its value for money, decent range (though the displayed range of 231 miles at 99% charge is noted as lower than expected compared to the 298-mile WLTP figure), and the versatility of its boot space, capable of fitting an electric bike. Criticisms are minimal, with the manual seat adjustment and lack of front parking sensors on the SE trim being minor drawbacks. The reviewer expresses enthusiasm for the S5's overall package, suggesting it's a compelling option in the budget-friendly electric SUV segment.
