The model
Read full MG5 EV reviewIf you’re after an electric car with a decent range, enough room for a family, a high level of standard kit and a low price, this could be the model for you. It’s also comfy and has punchy acceleration, and while other rivals may be more refined and luxurious inside most of them cost a lot more money.
The trim
See full equipmentRange-topping Trophy trim adds leather seats (heated in the front), 17in alloys, climate control, electrically folding mirrors, auto wipers and an auto-dimming rear-view mirror. We’d be tempted to keep it cheap and stick with SE, but if you’ve got the budget for Trophy it’s still a bargain compared to many electric cars.
The engine
See full engine specsAll MG5 EVs get an electric motor with 154bhp and a 57kWh (usable) battery pack that’s good for an official WLTP combined range of 250 miles – but expect more like 200 miles in real-world driving conditions. Performance is punchy compared to rivals and the range is pretty decent.
