MG5 SW - THE ELECTRIC ESTATE! BUT IS IT ANY GOOD?

EV Channels Review

The MG5 SW is presented as a practical and stylish electric estate, offering a compelling alternative in the EV market. The reviewer highlights its understated design, spacious interior with good knee room, and a deep, usable boot capable of accommodating a wheelchair. The driving experience is described as peaceful, effortless, and confident, with useful torque and good one-pedal driving capability thanks to strong regenerative braking. However, the reviewer notes the high boot lip as a minor drawback. The interior, while featuring a somber design, is deemed better than other modern MGs tested, with supportive seats and decent infotainment. The car's practicality is further emphasized by its ability to keep up with other vehicles and its decent real-world range, even with the older battery pack. The reviewer concludes that while the price point might be a barrier for some, the MG5 is a well-put-together and pleasant car to drive, making it a strong contender for those considering an electric vehicle.
