    MG5 compared with the ZS EV

    Hi Been watching the ZS Ev forum and reading all the thread sometimes commenting etc. Not so much on other Manufacturers sites! I know it was cheap but my goodness its almost a lego car! Don't get me wrong, we do have an ZS EV and are dealing with the issues as we are using only local and small...

    Excited to be picking up my MG5

    Hello all, I’m Stuart, from The New Forest, just to say hello, I’m picking up my 5 on Tuesday, quite excited as it’s going to be my first EV. Moving from 10 years of Mercedes/BMW & Audi cars. I really need an estate with min 200 miles range to make it viable for me which I hope the 5 will do.

    Technical Information

    Hi, My first post on the forum so hello everyone :) We're looking to buy a 5EV in the new year but one of the main reasons is at the end of our PCP the £10,000 ish payment will still be less than buying an EV drivetrain and batteries for my VW T3 Day Van I have and want to convert to EV. That...

    Is Paint Protection worth it?

    I've been offered paint protection from the dealer for an extra £300 on my new MG5 EV. Is it worthwhile?

    MG5 Roof rails decorative only

    The MG 5 Exclusive has roof rails, was advertised with roof bars, bike carrier and bike on top (now crudely airbrushed out), and until very recently MG were selling roof bars/bike carriers on the MG5 accessories page. However, the recently published manual says the roof bars are decorative only...

    MG5 EV Exclusive in Westminster Silver order placed -- charger options?

    Yesterday I put an order in for an MG5 EV Exclusive in Westminster Silver. Hopefully should be January or February. I've been researching charger options and there are so many different ones out there, it's a bit overwhelming. I definitely want a tethered option and definitely want a 7kW...

    Equalisation

    Hello, I see that zs drivers can tell when their batteries have been balanced by the lights on the mg badge. Please can anyone tell me how you know when it's done on the mg5? Cheers!

    Auto dip headlights

    Thinking of trading in my Mondeo estate for the MG5 (my wife swapped her Fiesta for a Zoe and it's great) and having had a test drive I'm happy but as stated in another post, the level of kit is below what I expected. I'll lose the automatic parking, front parking sensors, heated windscreen...

    Just put in an order for an MG5 in blue

    Hi all I just ordered a new MG5 in blue, I was told white and blue are the most popular colours and to expect a pick up date of February or March, which is fine by me, I'm in no rush. I should add I'd be grateful for any advice about what home charger to go for.
  16. Ordered my MG5 at the beginning of October and was told early December delivery

    Ordered mine at the beginning of October and was told early December delivery. After the order a £4000.00 scrappage scheme was introduced which the company agreed to include. Last week I was told 700 MG's will be in the country 1st week of December but the dealer was not sure if the model split...

    New Car Next Week (Fingers Crossed)

    I did my test drive and order of the MG5 nearly 4 weeks ago (time flies). At the time I went for the Westminster Silver as my current car was red and the blue and black didn't really take my fancy. On order I was told it would be late March - mid April before it arrived but was happy enough...

    Ordered an Exclusive model MG5 in Red

    Drove a demonstrator on 24th September and it was just what I have been waiting for; an electric estate car at a sensible price. I was a bit upset that some of the equipment I had expected to be present was not available, notably a sunroof and adaptive cruise control but still I went ahead and...

    Ordered an MG5 in Westminster Silver

    Ordered a 5 in Westminster Silver and was quoted March/April 2021 for delivery. Could have got Red for December of Black in Feb/March but not what I wanted. To be honest I got the impression that at the minutes the delivery schedules are very vague.
