Frequently Asked Questions

Is the MG MGS5 EV sold in Canada?

No. MG doesn't sell cars in Canada and hasn't announced plans to. The MGS5 EV is sold in markets such as the UK and Europe. Our guide to Chinese EVs in Canada tracks which Chinese brands and models are coming.

Would the MG MGS5 EV qualify for EV rebates in Canada?

Not federally if a Canadian MGS5 EV were built in China, because EVAP excludes China-built vehicles, and Manitoba's rebate excludes China-made EVs bought after March 19, 2025. Quebec's Roulez vert, the only other provincial purchase rebate, ends on December 31, 2026, and MG hasn't announced any plans to sell cars in Canada.

Is the MGS5 EV the same as the MG4?

No. It shares the MG4 hatchback's rear-wheel-drive platform and batteries but has a taller, roomier SUV body, and it replaces the MG ZS EV. MG's larger electric SUV is the MG IM6.

How far can the MG MGS5 EV go on a charge?

The Standard Range is rated at 340 km on the WLTP cycle and the Long Range at up to 480 km. Top trims with the Long Range battery are rated slightly lower, and range drops noticeably in a Canadian winter, as with any EV.

How fast does the MG MGS5 EV charge?

DC charging peaks at 120 kW on the Standard Range and 139 kW on the Long Range, and 10% to 80% takes about 24 and 28 minutes respectively. The onboard AC charger accepts 7 kW in the UK, and up to 11 kW on the European Long Range. To plan home charging, try the EV charging cost calculator.

What batteries does the MG MGS5 EV use?

The Standard Range has a 49 kWh (nominal) lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery with 47.1 kWh usable. The Long Range has a 64 kWh (nominal) nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery with 62.1 kWh usable.

Is the MG MGS5 EV all-wheel drive?

No. Every version is rear-wheel drive with a single motor, making 125 kW on the Standard Range and 170 kW on the Long Range.

Does the MG MGS5 EV have a heat pump?

Not in the UK, where it isn't offered on any trim. In mainland Europe, a heat pump is standard on the Luxury trim, which would matter for winter range in a cold climate.

How big is the MG MGS5 EV trunk, and can it tow?

The boot holds 453 litres with the rear seats up and 1,441 litres with them folded, but there's no front trunk. Braked towing capacity is 750 kg.
