My expectation would be earliest Sept. And with the current lead times, a handful of the first batch, mainly demonstrators, floating about and customer orders not being fulfilled until March 2023.
Interestingly that has been mentioned a few times in reviews as a plus point, real buttons and knobs to control basic settings rather than software"touch points", possibly buried in menus somewhere.Also some may not like the new infotainment and control layout.
I found the MG5 easier to control than the ZS whilst driving for hvac settings etc
Yeah this was sort of where I landed too. Torn now as to whether to look out for a twelve month deal on current model or to wait!My expectation would be earliest Sept.

I'm inclined to half agree... The new one does look more modern, but they're both already quite dated in relation to other modern ev's. The mk1 definitely looks like a Passat estate and the mk2 has echoes of the old Mondeo and Astra estates. Look at things like the E-Niro, iPace and Ioniq5 in relation!really like the look of the new 5 , old one is terribly bland looking in my opinion
MG is not comparable to those cars but it's a terrific effort for the money and nothing about it is disagreeable or offensive to meI'm inclined to half agree...

As good as the ev tech is from MG, the striking department is very archetypal Chinese in that they "borrow"design cues from the past successful marques.
No absolutely agree, but they're not what could be described as progressive or innovative either. Their very familiar and one could almost describe them as anonymous, visually. I'm ok with that!MG is not comparable to those cars but it's a terrific effort for the money and nothing about it is disagreeable or offensive to me
yeah , external camera is a bit grainyI recently had breif use of the new ZS as a loan car while the MG5 was being inspected.
The 360 cameras and the whole display console, as well as an external charge indicator on the plug socket are minor but very much needed improvements. As much as I like the new look, these little improvements make the real difference
There is no existing model in France.Interesting, thanks.
Do you know how does that price compares to the existing model in France? I'm guessing about the same?
Europe did not get the current MG5 that you get in the UK. this is the first time the model has been launched here.Interesting, thanks.

Unlikely as it requires specific hardware and updated protocols.Just saw vehicle-to-load feature, very interesting! I currently have MG5 LR and I'm not bothered about any extras that face lift version offers, apart from vehicle-to-load. I wonder if this can be retro-fitted somehow?
That's a shame. I suppose you could do you own 'vehicle-to-load feature' using 12v battery and an inverter. I'm planning to check (at some point) the maximum current the onboard charger puts into the 12v battery.Unlikely as it requires specific hardware and updated protocols.
See above, I edited it after I posted with a kinda option for that ;-)That's a shame. I suppose you could do you own 'vehicle-to-load feature' using 12v battery and an inverter. I'm planning to check (at some point) the maximum current the onboard charger puts into the 12v battery.
Very interesting! I will investigate these electric generators, as I quite like the idea...See above, I edited it after I posted with a kinda option for that ;-)
