Reviews MG MGS5 EV

R L 31 Oct 2025, 13:46:08

We have recently moved from an ID3 to and MGS5. For me, the S5 feels a decent upgrade. The build quality really surprised me, especially in the cabin. the drive is also reassuringly solid, and in my opinion better than the ID3. the MGS5 is slightly quicker, but not too much that it is noticeable, and also more practical due to it's size.
Gone are my days of thinking MG was now just a cheap Chinese alternative. Go and test drive one, you'll see!

VS
The MG ZS is the no-nonsense, value-packed compact SUV that gives you straightforward practicality and low running costs, while the MG MGS5 EV dials in electric refinement, sharper styling and longer range for drivers ready to swap petrol for a charging cable. If you want bang-for-buck, easy maintenance and city-friendly comfort pick the ZS; if you care about smooth EV torque, modern tech and cheaper running costs over time, the MGS5 EV is the smarter, slightly pricier choice.
Kia EV6
Kia EV4 Sedan
VS
The Kia EV6 is a roomy, crossover-style EV that prioritizes range, acceleration and practical family space, while the Kia EV4 Sedan trims the package into a sleeker, more affordable, city-friendly saloon. Pick the EV6 for highway comfort and cargo versatility; choose the EV4 Sedan for sharper styling, easier parking and a lower sticker — either way Kia’s electric game is seriously convincing.
