MGS5 Information & Reviews

[Cpt Scarlet]

Wasn't sure where to post this but as it features the lease deals guy I thought I'd drop it in this thread. To quote from the video:
"In this episode of the Charging Status EV Podcast, Alex and Jim talk to David Allison - MG UK’s Head of Product and Planning. David shares how MG has gone from a budget brand to one of the UK’s fastest-growing EV car companies, the story behind the Cyberster, and why sometimes the best innovation is putting real buttons back in a car."


Mods, please feel free to move if there's a more appropriate home.
Editted to fix link to video.

But it is not part of the customization option. So every time you need to activate it. Also, it is not clear what is saved and reapplied after you start up the car again. So it could be ELK will default yet again.....

My OPD is kept if I use the MG Pilot Custom button.

Anyone interested in a frunk for the S5 there’s a poll on EV Accessories Ireland’s facebook page, they are looking at adding 3 new frunks this year and the poll will help them decide which ones.

I messaged them last week and they confirmed they’re developing a frunk for the S5, they’ve taken scans etc. and hoping to get one out later this year.
I’m on the Leeds now to pick up my new car from Luscombes. #excited!

This is a follow up to my earlier post #76 where I posted this:

"I just checked his usual go to lease site and the LR MGS5 SE version would be £236 per month for a 3 year deal with 10000 miles per year allowance (12 month up front) The similar deal on the LR Trophy would be an extra £100 per month."

Seems like he's changed his "go to" leasing site to a different one, and the deals on the MGS5 have changed as well. The LR MGS5 Trophy (although the WLTP figurre is still the 298 miles from the SE) version is now £216 per month for a 2 year deal with 10000 miles per year allowance (12 month up front) or £236 on a 4 year deal. Quite a drop but not sure how long the deals will last.

Those deals are on lease loco, there is a decent 3 year deal also.

3 years 8000miles a year, £878 upfront, £292.54 a month.
