So many Duracell bunnies.

Looks like there’s V2L

So many Duracell bunnies.

My thought too. Drawing parallel between active kids and Duracell bunnies. Nice..

That is certain parts of Europe like Norway, the UK won't have it for a long time. The MG3, Marvel R and E-motion I think are more likely to come before the new MG5 does as this model has not long been here. So either wait for 2 years or just get something now that's a great car, new one doesn't give you that much more and it won't be as cheap I doubt as the deals you can get now on an MG5

Go ahead and get it, bird in the hand and all that, there will be loads of alternatives by 2022 anyway, they will always be something round the corner

I have had my MG5 for just two weeks tomorrow and I am really pleased with the car especially the way it drives I have had diesel cars for the last 30 years I looked at the Nissan Leaf when they first came out had a test drive and liked it but the cost and the short range killed my EV dream then along came MG they made EV possible for me I am enjoying driving again for the first time in years

Agree entirely. This is the first EV that ticked all my boxes, only had it a week but very pleased with it, and still can't believe what we managed to get it for, the facelift can wait!

I was 99% going to buy a model 3 Tesla as I was buying it through my own company with 0 benefit in kind, which I have now instead bought the MG5.

So I could afford a tesla however my thought process went from Hyundai Kona ( because I liked my previous hyundai's ) 37k.... wait I can get a tesla for 41k, oh wait the long range 4 wheel drive is only another 6k, I want it I red.... oh its now 49k....

My main gripe was the impractical boot on the tesla And also no buttons so you have have used the massive ipad to do anything. My mate said look at the MG5 ev it's an estate. When I saw the price and watched the reviews I was sold As I love estate cars.

Less than half the price for something that does the same thing and more practical. A tesla is too fast anyway, MG5 I find is fast enough and 99% of the time 200 mile range is enough.

You could have had a second one as a spare as well!

Loving the Boneless Wiper.....no idea what that was supposed to mean!

I'm waiting for the MG3 EV for the Mrs. She wants a smaller one. Apparently out end of this year / early next year. And will be even cheaper.

Bits lost in translation.
I suppose it meant frameless wiper blades.

Sorry but I have not come across any news reporting MG3 EV. Please can you share the reference to this report.

It's something I asked MG about and he confirmed.
