    Have the MG5 on shortlist, but have a few questions

    Hi. I’ve put the MG5 facelift on my shortlist of potential EVs. I have some questions I could not find answers for. 1) What’s the ground clearance of the current UK MG5? 2) There’re rumors that the MG5 Electric 2021 for Europe is delayed, does anyone have any details on this? 3) Is the rear...

    Notional vs usable

    Has anybody conducted a #Teslabjorn style test to figure out the usable vs notional capacity of the MG5EV battery? If so, what's the answer? Just curious. Thanks.

    Charging port self locks when plugged in.

    I must say I like the way the charging port locks itself and the car starts charging, as soon as I plug in my home charger on the MG5. It's far simpler than my ZS where you have to actually lock the car to lock in the plug and start the charge.

    Looking to move to MG5 as first ev

    Hello, I'm looking at the mg5 ev after having diesels most of my driving life. I've currently got a 1.5 qashqai. My commute to work is 40 miles each way so I'm confident an mg5 would suite. No plugs at work but I'd just plug it in at home each night. My concern is when the car is full, 2 adults...

    Brake squeal when reversing?

    I am experiencing a piercing squeal when reversing, from the o/s rear wheel. Has anyone else experienced this or am I a one off? Only done 600 miles since buying as I was fed up of getting my spanners out. Time to dust them off again?

    Doorlocks with a life of their own

    I have a problem with my doorlocks on my MG5 Excite. When I have been for a drive and park up and switch off, the passenger doors stay locked but the drivers door and tailgate are unlocked. When I lock the car using the key remote, the drivers door locks and the passenger doors unlock - when the...

    Phone GPS poor reception in car

    I've noticed that my phone GPS barely works inside the car. Very poor signal, just about tracks if you hold it up against windscreen (as a passenger, obviously), but sitting in the passenger seat it barely works. In previous ICE car (also made of metal plastic and glass) it worked fine. Has...

    Anyone know the maximum size of USB storage?

    As per the title, does anyone know what the maximum size USB storage is for the MG5? Tried the dealer and tweeted MG but no answers as yet
  13. Not getting extra range in town driving

    I've done a South Coast to London commute a number of times now but have failed to see any outstanding mileage increase in town driving compared to country and A roads. My route is from Portsmouth area to Whitechapel 79 miles each way. Generally around 3.5 Miles/KW (I use air con etc). It...

    I think I have read enough.

    After all the reading I have done on here with regards to failures, charging issues, roof rails, wind noise etc. I think I will pass on the MG5. I will look in every now and again to see how things are progressing but I don't think the rough edges have been smoothed off enough for me to buy...

    MG5EV Wind noise on drivers side at 70 mph

    I love my MG5EV but there is a very annoying wind noise which appears to come through the drivers window as soon as you got 70mph. I have taken the car into the garage twice and they agree the noise is there but cannot find the reason for it. Yesterday I was told that they tested another...

    Living on the edge ?

    Something quite satisfying getting home when you are 85 miles from home and you have a constant 15 mile difference between the GOM range and distance left on the sat nav and you get home with 6% left ?? driving at a steady pace too.

    Does 12V battery charge whilst charging HV battery?

    I recently tried my first public charge at a PodPoint charger and that worked fine (especially as it was free!). However when I set off I noticed the 12V battery voltage was down to 12.2V. I had been listening to the radio with air-con turned off. I tested this at home the next day, charging...

    London Congestion Zone

    I recently went into central London in my MG5. Before going (unusually for me) I decided to check the rules on the congestion zone. I updated my account to reflect my new MG5 and was really surprised to find that I was required to pay the congestion charge for the car. Seems as if you have to...
