The new MG5 EV: Introduction

The new MG5 EV is an adaptable, all-electric estate car that offers drivers a unique blend of style, space and practicality.

Starting from just £30,995, the second generation of MG’s multi-award-winning, fully electric estate car features a range of comprehensive upgrades to its exterior, interior and technology, while retaining highly competitive pricing.

The new MG5 builds on the success of the previous model, recently recognised as the UK’s 5th best-selling electric vehicle in 2022*.

Two specifications are available at launch – the MG5 EV SE and the MG5 EV Trophy. Both feature MG’s 61kWh Long Range battery as standard, capable of up to 250 miles (SE) or 235 miles (Trophy) on the WLTP cycle.

The 61kWh battery is also capable of recharging at up to 87kW, meaning a charge time of only 35 minutes from 10% – 80% using a 150kW DC rapid charger.

The MG5 EV carries MG’s trademark 7-year/80,000-mile warranty as standard, which remains one of the longest fully-transferable warranties in its class.
