    Pros & Cons

    Pros:

    The MG MGS5 offers an attractive entry price (e.g., ~€29,000) for a compact electric SUV with decent range and equipment.
    With battery options (47.1-62.1 kWh) and claimed range 275-365 km, plus fast-charging (10-80% in ~26-31 min), the MGS5 EV is capable for daily use.
    The dedicated EV platform and rear-motor setup of the MG MGS5 provide good balance, nimble steering and better ride versus some rivals.
    The MG MGS5’s larger size versus its predecessor gives more rear legroom, 453 L boot space, a flat rear floor, and general usability for family or daily duties.
    Compared to previous models (e.g., MG ZS EV), reviewers note the MG MGS5 uses better materials, more refined switches/buttons and more premium feel.
    Features such as a 12.8-inch central touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, physical HVAC controls and multiple driving modes help the MG MGS5 compete tech-wise.
    The MG MGS5 offers functionality such as V2L for powering external devices, multiple regen levels, programmable steering-wheel buttons and custom ADAS profiles, enhancing the electric mobility experience.

    Cons:

    Some reviewers and owners find the MG MGS5’s suspension a bit firm, and tyre/wind noise on some trims (especially 18-inch wheels) remains above the best in class.
    Reports from owners mention laggy infotainment responses, Apple CarPlay dropouts, and some inconsistent behaviour of driver-assist systems in the MG MGS5 EV.
    While improved, some interior plastics, trim pieces and finish in the MG MGS5 are described as less premium than top-tier rivals, especially in lower trims.
    The MG MGS5 comes with rear-wheel drive only (no four-wheel drive option), which may limit grip/traction in slippery conditions compared with some AWD rivals.
    Some reviews note the MG MGS5 lacks a heat-pump as standard, meaning real-world range in cold climates may fall more than more advanced rivals.
