EV Channels Review
The MG IM5 Performance sedan, priced at $80,990 drive-away, aims to establish MG as a premium brand in Australia, directly challenging the Tesla Model 3. The reviewer praises its exceptional driving dynamics, highlighting the sharp and agile steering, the effectiveness of the four-wheel steering system, and the potent acceleration, all contributing to a "suave, sophisticated, and engaging driver's car." The adaptive air suspension and 800-volt architecture further enhance the premium driving feel. However, the interior falls short of true luxury, with hard plastics, a dated design aesthetic, and a stereo system that prioritizes speaker count over quality. While comfortable for front occupants, rear-seat space and practicality are limited, making it more of a "selfish driver's car" than a family vehicle. Despite its interior shortcomings, the IM5's driving prowess is deemed a significant step up from regular MGs, making it a compelling, albeit not fully premium, option for driving enthusiasts.
