Electrifying on used MG5s!!

Well researched piece…

Is the long range much quicker than the SR? I have driven both, seemed the same to me.

I thought the SR was quicker than the 8 seconds she said.
She also referred to the new version as the 'executive' model?

I think this is because she was speaking about the roof bars, and the excite trim doesn't have the roof bars

Both quoted a 0-60mph in 7.3s, (or 0-62mph/100kmph as 7.7s) - admittedly the LR is every so slightly heavier (15kg to 18kg) but the manual says it has a peak torque of 280nm rather than 260Nm for the SR (can only imagine this is a feature of the different battery pack as motor meant to be the same).

So - I suspect they're as near identical performance as makes no difference.

Edit: They're still perpetuating this nonsense that the SR can only charge at 50kW whereas the LR introduced 80kW charging - which is untrue, both support the same rate.

Well in my opinion the only thing that she got spot on in this review was, it’s the best value BEV out there, and thats all models be them SR,LR the value for money can’t be beaten IMHO.
