If you want a practical, wallet-friendly electric estate, the MG5 delivers class-leading boot space, sensible range and no-nonsense value for everyday life; the MG S5 EV, by contrast, leans into SUV styling, sharper tech and a bit more punch when the lights go green. Choose the MG5 for honest, family-focused practicality — pick the MG S5 EV if style, refinement and a touch of extra performance are worth the extra cash.
