Have the MG5 on shortlist, but have a few questions

[Jajadingdong]

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 seats spacious enough so you can have rear facing child seats behind the driver?

Thank you.

4) By the way, are there any good luggage nets for the MG5 (to separate boot from second row)?

The minimum ground clearance (laden) is 116.1mm.

Thank you. It’s interesting that you have the laden ground clearance, seems like many manufacturers post the unladen ground clearance. It makes it harder to compare. But I assume this means the MG5 would be average to higher than many non cross over / SUVs on the road.

I would say that the ground clearance is significantly more than other estates in its class, and on a par with some SUVs

Minimum ground clearance (laden) on the ZS is 125mm, so only 9mm more.
But I seem to think these figures MG quote are to the bottom of the suspension arms as there is way more height under the centre of the car.

we use one forward facing and one rearward facing child seat in the back and still room for a petite person in the middle
