MG5 LONG RANGE ROAD TRIP TO AMBLESIDE

EV Channels Review

The MG5 Long Range proves itself a capable and sensible electric estate car, particularly for road trips. Reviewers highlight its practicality, comfortable ride, and the significant improvement in range over previous models, now offering around 250 miles. The inclusion of MG Pilot, with its suite of safety features like lane keep assist and adaptive cruise control, is a major plus, enhancing both safety and long-distance comfort. While the interior materials are noted as being hard in places and not the most refined compared to some rivals, the car's overall value proposition at its price point (around £30,000, or closer to £28,000 with grants) is strong. The car handles well, feeling planted and stable due to its weight, and performs admirably on challenging terrain like steep hills, though range can be significantly impacted by aggressive driving or adverse weather. Charging times are reasonable, and the seven-year warranty adds further peace of mind. The reviewer finds it difficult to fault, praising its agility, comfort, and economy, making it a compelling choice for those seeking an affordable electric estate.
