MGS5 EV

The MGS5 EV is a family electric SUV built on MG's Modular Scalable Platform, the architecture first used on the MG4 EV in 2022. MG says it combines fast charging, cabin space, driver controls, driving dynamics and safety equipment as standard. Euro NCAP gave it five stars in 2025, and UK prices start at £28,995.

Battery and charging

The third-generation ultra-thin battery supports up to 298 miles (479 km) of WLTP combined range. The 400V system accepts DC charging at up to 139 kW, and a 10 to 80 percent charge takes 28 minutes or less on a 150 kW charger under standard test conditions. MG says the pack is designed to hold its charge capacity even with frequent fast charging. A kinetic energy recovery system offers four recovery levels and a one-pedal mode. The entry configuration shown with the starting price is a 49 kWh, 125 kW rear-wheel-drive car.

Driving

Two motors are offered, 125 kW and 170 kW. The stronger one drives the rear wheels to 62 mph in 6.3 seconds. MG describes a lightweight chassis, optimised weight distribution and five-link rear suspension that keeps body roll low. The brakes, developed with Continental and Bridgestone, stop the car from 62 mph in 35.5 metres.

Space, connected services and assistance

Cargo space reaches up to 1,441 litres with the adjustable boot floor. A 12.8 inch touchscreen and a 10.25 inch driver screen are fitted, and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard. The Trophy trim adds integrated apps such as Spotify and YouTube, a wireless charging tray, an electric tailgate and a 360 degree camera. Through the MG iSMART app owners can locate the car, check its status and pre-heat the cabin. MG Pilot driver assistance includes blind spot detection and rear cross traffic alert, and drivers can switch features on or off, with the car remembering the choice. Seven airbags are fitted.
