MG MG5 EV Estate 115kW Exclusive EV 53kWh Auto 5d Owner Review

Good value practical compact estate. If you like the estate option this is good, although the load height is a bit high. Not Volvo loading standards (may fail the wardrobe test) Performance wise, Great acceleration for safe overtaking (keep a strong grip on the wheel, though). Would have liked the option of electric adjustable heated cloth seats instead of faux leather. Protection recommended for loading area, which uses cheap materials. Practical for dog walkers. Comfortable stable ride at reasonable speeds. Low running costs. As with most EV's steep charging infrastructure learning curve if this is your first EV. You have to plan your journeys. Good range realistically 160 miles in appalling driving conditions up to 225 in favourable conditions. Long range version increases this to 190/260 respectively and includes MG Pilot. Good regenerative braking will feed back up to 20% more in town driving. This is the most relaxing and enjoyable car I have owned. It is a strange mixture of modern features with a slightly old fashioned driving feel. It's too early for me to comment on reliability yet. Highly recommended
