About the MG MG5 EV
The MG5 EV holds the distinction of being the only affordable electric estate car on the market — a body style that should be perfect for EV buyers who need practicality above all else. With a 57.4 kWh NMC battery delivering up to 250 miles of WLTP range, it offers a genuine alternative to compact electric SUVs at a keen price point.
The estate body provides a generous 479-litre boot (expanding to 1,367 litres with the rear seats folded), making it one of the most practical EVs in its price bracket. Standard equipment is generous, and the cabin is functional if not luxurious.
DC charging peaks at a modest 87 kW, and a 10–80% charge takes around 40 minutes — slower than many newer rivals. Real-world range of 170–210 miles suits daily commuting and weekend trips but makes longer journeys require planning. The MG5 EV succeeds by offering something nobody else does: an electric estate car at a family-friendly price.
What the press thinks
Reviewers consistently highlight the MG5 EV's unique market position as the only affordable electric estate. The practicality, range, and value are praised. Criticisms focus on the slow DC charging, uninspiring driving dynamics, and an interior that feels dated compared to newer rivals like the MG4.
