Just joined - please don't flame me for asking..
Does the MGS5 have front radar-assisted Cruise / AEB, or just camera-based computer vision detection?
This was cited in the Bjorn video above as a possible reason for phantom braking episodes (similar to Tesla issues), but he may have been driving a pre-production model.

MG S5 (2025) review: you'd be a fool not to consider one​

MG S5 (2025) review: you'd be a fool not to consider one

Parkers tests the new MG S5 electric SUV in the UK to see if the Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq have a new threat. Spoiler alert: it's another very good MG.

Has anyone found a video on the infotainment or even a manual?

Thanks Delascas almost, didn’t get detailed enough, trying to get my head around the WiFi/data/hotspot/bluetooth and what does what.

Thanks Delascas almost, didn’t get detailed enough, trying to get my head around the WiFi/data/hotspot/bluetooth and what does what.

Wifi: Connect to available Wifi networks nearby, ie the wifi created from hotspot your phone. Once Wifi is connected, the car will use data from wifi instead of built-in data from the SIM card
Data: Turn on/off data connection from built-in SIM card
Hotspot: Turn your car into a Wifi hotspot with the data from the built-in SIM card
Bluetooth: Connect to Bluetooth devices, ie, your Phone. You can also connect a BT keyboard to the car also...

For example, when I'm charging and I want to watch YouTube, I turn on hotspot on my phone and connect the infotainment screen to the wifi network created by my iphone, and the car will use my phone as the source of data

Could anyone reconfirm the real-world range for the Trophy LR?

210 doesn’t seem that optimistic!

I get that in winter on my MG4 trophy on a good day……

I'm getting 4.1-4.3 in normal driving, so 260-270.

But does it have UV protection on all/ or ANY window glass ?, I guess I know the answer !

Not finding my arms burning on MGS5 like my ZS, and rears also tinted on Trophy.

Are you sure about the WiFi, the hotspot on my phone is turned off as is the Bluetooth Internet sharing ,also my car is parked only 6 feet from my home router and the car does not ask to connect to it. However if I go to WiFi settings on my phone it shows MG as an available network, and in the system settings on the infotainment screen it shows a password to enable you to connect to the car's Wifi. I have the Wifi and hotspot and data turned off on the car and everything works perfectly via the Bluetooth and android auto ie I can watch YouTube play music use Google maps. The cars satnav works perfectly without the phone as I discovered when I inadvertently left it at home one day.
