Which Colour?

[Ian Key]

Those of you that have seen the MG S5 EV in the flesh what are your thoughts on the best colour?

I've booked a test drive for Monday morning and knowing me I'll be tempted to sign on the dotted line but I'm not sure which colour to go for. At the moment I have a red MG4 but I don't think the colour suits the new MG S5.

I have silver and really like it, though it does seem to emphasise the empty space above the number plate. From photos, the grey and black don’t seem to make that quite as obvious. Haven’t seen any red ones, and the blue and white I saw at the showroom just weren’t my personal preference.

Without a doubt, White. White with the Black accents looks great!

Red is nice. But White for me.

I like black but the S5 in black needs some different colour accents on the front, as it is the front's a big field of plain black that doesn't look good to me.

White for me also, nice base coat for an orange overspray.

Black does look quite Menacing.
And looks Magnificent when clean.
Just can't get away from the fact, it's a Total pain in the arse, to keep clean.

White for me I would say.
I Have Red MG4 but makes the S5 look bulky to me.
Maybe a black wrap over the roof and some black fins on the front below the lights.?
Also black front MG badge.

I do think there's a market for a road grime colour for cars.

Black would win, hands down, no contest.

I have the Dynamic Red and I am very happy with the car and it's colour

Don't blame you, it's a lovely colour.

In my opinion the Arctic White always reminds me of a company vehicle where the accountants won't spend the extra for another option.

Black Pearl will look fantastic for 5 minutes after a wash and wax before dust, bird poo, pollen, mud etc get magnetically drawn towards it and it'd send my obsession for having a clean car into overdrive.

Camden Grey is too common. Every other car down my road is grey in some form or other.

Cosmic Silver used to be a common colour and I associate it with Mercs and funnily enough Nissan Micras. It does have the advantage of now showing the dirt though.

Dynamic Red is a lovely colour which changes depending on the lighting conditions but my MG4 is that colour and I'm not sure it suits a larger vehicle and I don't want red again.

Piccadilly Blue looks OK. I've seen it at my local dealers during one of my visits to the service department but it seems to be the colour supplied as a demonstrator to every dealer and will become common for the MG S5 like the ASBO orange did for the MG4.

Having watched so many videos on YouTube to get an idea of the colours in daylight instead of AI generated images, and as I've never had a car in this colour, in the end I think I'd have the Cosmic Silver.
