    Is the new MG5 2022 rated for tow bar and roof rack usage?

    I'm seeing the same 75kg for both: (taken from New MG5 EV Long Range | Electric Estate Car)

    Which roof box and rails system are you all using?

    You just need roof bars to fit raised roof rails. The roof dimensions are similar to the Skoda Fabia Estate, so if you put one of those in the configurator, you can get something to suit the MG5. I'm selling a set of Yakima Whispbars to fit the MG5, here, if you need some still. (Will sell bars...

    Is the new MG5 2022 rated for tow bar and roof rack usage?

    They aren't commencing manufacture of the new MG5 in RHD until August, so it's likely to be November before we see them in the UK. I believe there will be 1000 cars available before end of December (but that's only 6 per dealership!).

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    A friend of mine ordered an Ariel Nomad in January 2021, with an expected delivery date of May 2023. He also ordered a BMW i4 in Nov 21, expected in July 22, but that's now not due until early next year. I'd have changed my mind as to what car I want by then! Plus, there's the awkward thing...

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    It's the same for all manufacturers at the moment. Nissan's Ariya has one of the shorter lead times. I ordered one last week, which is showing as September delivery. £45k though. 🤷‍♂️

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    Depends how much deposit you'd want to put down. The private purchase cost of the MG5 facelift in Sweden is 420,000kr (£34,000), and the example finance over 36 months is 20% deposit = 84,000kr (£6800), 4640kr (£375) per month, with a 50% balloon = 210,000kr (£17,000). Plus fees. I don't know...

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    We've just put up a new offer (obviously time limited till Wednesday) for the MG5 LR Exclusive at £3,999 deposit, £299 per month (works out around £25 a month less than the low deposit offer I posted above, when you amortise the deposit over the term - £1200 saving over 4 years)...

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    I'm not sure on the timings for a UK launch. I'd imagine they will get all of the existing MG5 orders handed over before they announce the new model?

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    The lack of stock of all vehicles, across all brands, is making it tough for dealers. Pretty much every model of every brand is 6-12 months lead time.

    MG UK no longer accepting MG5 orders from 27th April

    Just had a bulletin sent out today from MG UK. In order to prepare for the launch of a facelifted MG5 later in 2022, MG will not be accepting any orders for the current MG5 from end of business on Wednesday 27th April. If you've been umming and arring about whether to push the button on an...

    MG5 Roof rails decorative only

    No, if anything this causes more confusion, as the MG5 SW EV Excite (Standard/Long Range) don't have any roof rails fitted at all. :unsure: The MG5 SW EV Exclusive Standard Range (51kWh) has longitudinal roof rails rated to 35kg. The MG5 SW EV Exclusive Long Range (62kWh) has longitudinal roof...

    Plug in grant value changed along with eligibility criteria

    The metallic paint doesn't make a jot of difference. The grant is based on the RRP inc VAT, inc delivery fee, but doesn't include optional paint etc. So if the Arctic White one qualifies, then the Dynamic Red does as well.

    Plug in grant value changed along with eligibility criteria

    I'm guessing it will be more expensive than it would otherwise have been. 😉

    Plug in grant value changed along with eligibility criteria

    The addition of paint colour doesn't make it fall foul of the grant level. It only matters if the optional extra effects the vehicle's range or performance.

    Plug in grant value changed along with eligibility criteria

    If the dealer had started a grant application, then the grant is locked in at the £2500 level.

    0%APR - ending soon?

    No, it's 5.9% APR with the Affinity prices. 0% is not available with other offers (as it involves a manufacturer subsidy to obtain the 0% rate).
