Lol they should add parallel crab mode. Bad for tyres though

Curves! Bring back curves. Lack of buttons but look how aesthetically pleasing the curves in the cabin are. Not everything needs to be squarish or rectangular like a sci-fi movie.

Not come across this review channel before, but they've got IM5 and IM6 ...

Yet to see a review on the cheapest version, that will be interesting.
It may ride better on UK roads with the smaller wheels, also interesting to see the.efficiencey figures as that is obviously one of the strongest points with the Tesla model 3

Auto Express had a look, but seem to think that the base 75kWh trim has 800V architecture.

Hmmm, they also say it doesn't have an MG badge - must have missed the one at the back

It's not sounding the most efficient car out there but it is pretty heavy.

Top Gear doesn't like IM5. It says IM5 is piece of shit, not a car.

It's not a great review and top gear isn't the only one criticising the ride of the performance version, that's why I said I'd be interested in the review of the cheapest one as it's on smaller wheels that might help the ride.
Again though considering the battery sizes they are not looking that great range efficiency wise, so will only end up being Tesla competitors in size/name only.

Regarding the Top Gear review. Some of these, so called "professional" car reviewers, make me laugh. It's purely their opinion. Other reviewers may well like it.
I do watch reviews, but on the whole, prefer to make my own mind up.

Totally agree hopefully it's a performance version issue as the more decent motors out there can only be a good thing, the range/efficiency would be more important for me (in terms of real world)

New MG IM5 review: Tesla-beating saloon is missing a spark | Auto Express

The new MG IM5 is a proper competitor in the rapidly-growing electric saloon sector

First mention of the single motor, better review.

To be fair, the lesser version, is probably always gonna be a better all rounder for the average person. The performance version is gonna be compromised to a certain extent, due to, the bigger wheels,
lower profile tyres, stiffer suspension etc.
But anyone in the market for the performance version, those compromises arent really gonna bother them.

Another video review from a channel I haven't heard of before. I wonder if these less known channels are more flexible (desperate for cars) and able to turn around a quick review because they don't have others scheduled.

Oh no, what an embarrassment. Thought I had checked thoroughly as well - must have looked on page one only.

The two cars making MG cool again: IM5 vs IM6

MG has two new cars and they are making the sensible, affordable brand cool. The IM cars are part of a new Intelligence in Motion line.

Don't believe it. A decent review, from the Daily Fail. Must have a new motoring writer. Still manages to get a few digs, at the "normal" MGs though. But overall not bad at all.
