    IM5 on MG website.

    It'll be the bog standard for me, because I'm a mean OAP and want the luxury, but no longer need the speed, the 75kw is still pretty quick in any case 😂🚀

    As I read it, only those cars made in UK will get the full grant. OK if you are planning swapping to a Nissan Leaf, TBH I'd sooner go for something different 😂🤣

    The full list price would have to drop below 40k to be below the Expensive Car Supplement (ECS)

    IM5 on MG website.

    Tesla does have a brilliant charger network, wherever possible I use it when travelling and it is cheaper than a lot. But for varoious reasons, I wont buy a Tesla, I like the MG brand, but my choice in November (end of interest fee loan) is likely to be tricky with such a vast choice, but...

    MG IM5/6

    Looks like the 75kWh battery, 291bhp, top speed 125 (mph) with very similar spec to the more expensive models will be my choice, super luxury car for under 40k. But the 75kWh version appears to be similar specs to the more expensive models, the figures stack up nicely to me as a UK pensioner...

    But better all around than Tesla and very imprortantly not buying from Elon Musk.

    MG bringing the IM range to the UK?

    NOT all of them. The IM5 Standard range is £39,450, just creeping in under 40K, even with optional paint choice. 75kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, 291bhp, 300 miles range, 124mph top speed, 6.8 seconds to 100kph (62mph), 4 wheel steering, self parking and so many great features. It's...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    Like so many others reading this thread, the S5 looks good in many areas, our MG4 Trophy LR is 2 years old in October and on 0% finance, I'm planning to swap it for a larger car with an electric opening boot as our current Hyundai Tucson has, the MG4 boot is too heavy for my wife to open. We...

    Considering swapping MG4 for an MGS5 - Test Drive Thoughts.

    There seems to be a number of MG4 owners approaching the end of PCP, ours is October, so more time than some. We have also had a good look around the new MGS5, it looks decent, but the arrival of an even newer MG 6 possibly by July has caught my interest, but as mentioned elsewhere, I really...

    MG5 SR to MGS5 LR - considering upgrading after test drive

    I also had a look at the new MGS5 EV, but although we were quite impressed, I think I'll wait for June/Jul for the not yet revealed MGS6 EV, it'll be bigger from what I've managed to glean, I spoke to somebody who had seen it at the MG launch of the new S5, but was pretty tight lipped on too...

    How to reset steering and windows after 12v battery disconection

    Similar thing with me (Oct 2023 MG4 Trophy LR), but now the range and mileage resets every time the ignition is turned on, plus other silly anomalies. Does anyone have a clue how to reset or restore everything, without having to take the car to the dealer? UPDATE Panic over, after a week of...

    Twelve Volt Battery Dead after 2 Week Holiday

    This is apparently not just an MG EV problem, shortly after buying my MG4 Trophy LR new in October 2023 and reading of other instances of 12V battery flat after leaving for a couple of weeks, The solution is 2-fold and very simple and much quicker than waiting for a breakdown van to arrive...

    Wish list of MG4 improvements

    Power tailgate, or better assisted dampers would be a useful. I love my MG4 Trophy LR, but it will go at 2 years in October, the car has so far been brilliant, not a hiccup, but the boot is rather heavy for my wife to lift, so will get something with a powered tailgate, will have to wait and...

    Understanding how the interior heating system works

    I'm now certain as well @siteguru, I didn't bother to check, so I was obviously mis-sold by the sound of it, I was told it had a heat pump, word of mouth only I'm afraid, so nothing I can do now 17 months later.
