    Motorway Efficiency?

    Just completed first set of long journeys - Yorkshire to Sussex and back through half term. Way down, had cruise set at 65mph and got 4.3m/kWh. Charged once back to 80something%. Way back, decided to see what happened with cruise at 70mph. But we were only getting 3.5m/kWh which meant my maths...

    Passenger occupancy sensors

    Had a moment of panic as when we got in the car to come home a warning came up saying the rear passengers hadn't put their seat belts on, even though there were no passengers. I have a boot liner that hooks over the headrests and it turns out that where we had put some heavy bits and pieces in...

    European Headlight Adjustment

    Most projector headlights have a switch or a screw to alter their dipped beam pattern to change the asymmetrical light distribution for driving in Europe or vice-versa. Does anyone who's upgraded their headlights know whether they've seen such switch in the MG5's headlight housing?

    Just Joined

    Hi Everyone, I have just joined the forum today. Looking at an MG5 as my next car to use as a taxi, so no doubt I will be asking lots of questions in the future. Probably won't be looking to buy for at least another year or so, by which time the updated version will hopefully be in the UK...

    MG 5 Facelift Europe delay?

    I seem to remember that the website showed a launch date of May 2021. Now it's passed that and date has been deleted from the site. The Marvel R has also no launch date showing anymore (was Oct. 2021). Anyone have any info on this?

    Rear Visibility

    I've not seen this mentioned elsewhere. When I did my test drive this afternoon, the only thing that stood out as a negative was the degree to which the rear headrests obstructed vision through the rear window. Has anyone else found this or have I just not got my seat position right?

    Starting to lose a bit of faith

    Had the charging problem the other day (see last post) now the infotainment system has decided to give me a blank screen. This is only the second long journey. Think it’s little bit expensive to just use at home! Have we been sold a pup ?

    MG5 Headlight Unit Wiring

    Has anyone got a wiring diagram for the headlight unit or worked out which colour wire does what? I got something from aliexpress but need to know which wires are the indicator, the DRL, the main beam and earth. I guess there is also low beam and the parking light as well.

    My MG5 experience as a family holiday car - London to Somerset

    I made a video about my experience of the MG5 EV as a family car and how it handles a a trip from London to Somerset. My testing is not very scientific, but I hope it demonstrates the MG5 has the range and size to cope with these medium range distances and a stay on a farm in the countryside.
