Long Range Affinity Price

[weedavemac]

Just had a chat with David from the Frasers of Falkirk Dealership.

He said the Long Range MG5 will cost very close to £24,500 on the affinity scheme. So approx £2k more than the current model.

Can anybody confirm this please?

Extra 35 miles of range, stronger roof bars, and MG Pilot for £2k more. It seems a reasonable price increase to me.

How can you qualify for Afinity Scheme? I have heard that close releatives who are in public service can qualify you

 

[weedavemac]

That seems to be the case. And if you approach a dealer who says 'no', just try another dealer.

Hi,
my sisteri in law is a nurse and my wife is a TA in a school would I get it based on that and can you get it with 0% finance?

Think you should qualify for the Affinity scheme.

Re 0% finance - no idea.

I have to say £2k for what you've listed seem expensive to me! If it added more than 35 miles of range then maybe, but to my mind that's a lot of cash for not a lot of extras.

Looks like the Affinity Scheme percentage for the MG5 Long Range is 14% rather than 17% for the standard/current model.

Although - it's David I was speaking to too

Yes they would be eligible for affinity scheme, but you cannot have affinity on 0% finance, it’s 4.9%, but still works out cheaper on total price paid.

In Scotland the car can be bought on the Affinity scheme for 0% via The Energy Saving Trust

Any indication if the roof rails look different with the increased capacity?

I’m guessing the MG Pilot sensors will look similar to those in the MG ZS too.

 

[5teep]

might be worth the extra range but for me, MG Pilot? nah and likewise roofbars

 

[biffo]

Reading through the manual that looks to be related to the 61.1kW model - I don't find any reference to there being Blind Spot Detection or Rear Cross Traffic Alert so doubt the MG5 gets these compared to the ZS.

Decent set of pictures on AutoExpress - as expected, front radar and camera looks like the changes - and blue buttons on cruise control stalks? Hard to tell, but roof bars look similar (if not the same) despite additional load capacity

Yes I can confirm. I just ordered MG5 EV Exclusive Long range for £24557.

Changing from a 6 year old 30 kWh Nissan Leaf that cost more than that all those years ago, I won't deny it, I am very pleased with the changes in £/kWh delivered by MG.

Roll on September 1st 8)

I'm assuming this is the Exclusive model? It's about £4k more than the affinity price for the (non-long range) Excite we have ordered from Fraser's. I wonder how much the long range Excite is? Hope we won't regret not getting it!

Just from (roughly) working the figures

List Price (Excite Long Range) : £28,995
Plug-in Car Grant Discount : -£2,500
14% Affinity Discount (17% on Standard Range) : -£4,059.30
On Road Price : £22,435.70

So - roughly the same as the MG5 Exclusive Standard Range?

Hi Buffo. The roof bars are currently the same as the 52.5kw model. When they were trying to get the roof bars type approved the first time with the paper work issue they had they managed to only get 35kg to get them pushed through to get past this ‘decretive issue’. As MG have had the time to ensure the right paper work was put through the 61.1kw model roof bars are the same but have been type approved for 75kg now.

The Affinity price for the MG5 Long Range Excite is £22,699.73

Not far off dude £22699 for the Excite long range.

I had a feeling I'd be a few quid wrong - that was my feeble attempt at haggling

Really?
If there’s no difference then surely the 52.5kWh model’s can be retrospectively upgraded too. Anyone fancy a second manual insert?!
I have to say the flex on them makes me doubtful they could hold so much…
