New MG4 OR IM5

[Morg]

So Evie my MG4 is coming g up 3yrs old. Booked for service and MOT next month.
Taken up offer of IM5 test drive on the day.
Should I look to a new extended range MG4 on PCP or lease an IM5 if I like it?

Obviously up to you. But, think the IM5 is on another level. So much better. Keep us informed.

I mean it isn't really a fair comparison, they are completely different vehicles aimed at different markets.

The MG4 is getting a mid-life facelift soon, so I probably wouldn't switch now to another one.

The IM5 is amazing, but it is so much more expensive than the 4.

Yes it depends on what type of car you're after, a medium sized family car, or a big saloon, I personally wouldn't want anything bigger than the MG4, but maybe you're ready for a major change @Morg

Save your money and keep the car you have.

And it really is big, Bjorn Nylands video showed how big it was in a parking space with the 360 camera. It barely fits

If I had a million$ to spare, think I'd love the IM5, but for me there are other considerations, more important, and the MG4 suits us just fine.

For scale, the Norwegian parking space standard is 2.5m x 5m.

What is it in the UK?

What is it in the UK?

2.4m x 4.8m

However, new regulations have been released this year for new builds: 2.5m x 5m.

3m x 5.5m would be better.

 

[MG Clive]

3m x 5.5m would be better.

Indeed, and some people would still struggle.

Not that much more I bought a MG 4 for £32000 in March 2023 now I have bought an IM 5 standard Range for £39893 .

I meant current prices but fair enough.

Tough choice.
Two great cars with very different qualities. I test drove an MG4 but actually oprdered an IM5 (taking delivery on 29th December). The '4' is such a good car and I quite see the way the media love it. Great to drive and very smooth but the IM5 is that little smoother/quieter and, of course, bigger.
If we had the benefit of foresight we might know about residuals so taking the chance with the IMs is something of a lottery but whichever you choose, is a good choice. Do hold out for a good discount though. Get in before the 31st December - dealers making up their totals to get the benefit of electris car sales.

Looked at the5 ,but it's huge! Don't need a car that big, might want it, but don't need it!! Will wait on end of PCP deal and see if face-lift 4 is available.

Residuals will take a big hit judging by some of the massive amounts off pre reg and ex demo cars
