MG MG5 (2020-2025) Pros and Cons
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| One of the most affordable EVs on the market | Lots of body lean when cornering |
| Spacious and practical | Slow charging speeds for early models |
| Very low running costs | Unfashionable shape and styling |
Quick Summary
The MG MG5 (2020-2025) is the UK's only affordable electric estate car, offering no-nonsense value and family-friendly practicality in a market dominated by expensive electric crossovers. Similar in size to a Volkswagen Golf Estate yet significantly cheaper than rivals such as the Citroën e-C4, Kia Niro EV and Volkswagen ID.3, it carved out a niche as a spacious and affordable alternative. The final version used a 61.1kWh battery and 154bhp front-mounted electric motor delivering an official range of 249 miles, with real-world figures around 220 miles. It supported up to 87kW rapid charging for 10-80% top-ups in approximately 35 minutes.
A major facelift in 2022 brought sharper styling, a revised cabin and updated infotainment, but the MG5 stayed true to its original formula: simplicity, practicality and value for money. The MG5 EV came with a seven-year/80,000-mile warranty from new, with its high-voltage battery receiving the same cover, transferable to future owners. For families seeking a sensibly priced EV with more space than most small electric SUVs, the MG5 remains an appealing option. With a 479-litre boot expanding to 1,367 litres with rear seats folded, it's one of the most practical electric cars available, making it ideal for carrying children, dogs, bicycles and holiday luggage.
Best for: Budget-conscious buyers seeking an affordable EV, families needing practical electric transport, and those prioritising space and value over premium styling.
Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising dynamic handling, those seeking fashionable design, or buyers of early models requiring faster charging speeds.

The Verdict
You should buy the MG5 if: You're seeking an affordable EV, need practical electric transport for families, or prioritise space and value over premium styling.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise dynamic handling, fashionable design, or require faster charging speeds on early models.
Competitive Position: The MG MG5 (2020-2025) is the best-value electric estate car on the used market by a comfortable margin. Whilst rivals like the Volkswagen ID.3 offer more desirable branding and the Kia Niro provides a more premium feel, the MG5's combination of affordability, practicality and low running costs makes it an excellent choice for budget-conscious buyers. The facelifted version addressed early charging concerns, and with a seven-year transferable warranty, the MG5 remains a thoroughly sensible and easy-to-recommend electric car for families seeking genuine space without premium pricing.

4.8 Overall rating
(5 reviews)Nice smooth ride, Im not someone who needs to be the first away from the traffic lights but it picks up speed in a smoothly unfussy way and the ride is comfortable.
This is an ideal family estate car which has everything you need except the ability to tow a caravan or a trailer with a nose weight greater than 40 kg
My first drive in an ev and I was impressed. Quiet, comfortable , roomy for an estate car. Easy to drive and lots of acceleration when needed. I bought a 71 pre face lift model with medium range battery as the saving over the new one was huge. Its a very discrete car, it doesnt scream ev from its appearance. It has good load space, decent room for rear passengers and ample range for my journeys unless going a long way on holiday.
For the price and utility it is top dog. Unless you wish to lose a fortune in money on a porche estate then the best choice is the MG 5. I like the driving position, comfort and the drive. I can actually easily tell between the drive modes and comfort settings. It is nippy enough with a sub 8 second 0 to 60. The kit fitted is fine, it doesnt have all the bells and whistles of some of the others, but in my book that means less to go wrong, and there is a trade off between price and options. I have tried the Mach-e from Ford and it is too easy to lose your licence, same with the I-pace from Jaguar, they both are not comfy enough. Oh they have all the kit, but you pay through the nose.
A no-none sense electric car with a battery-pack offering a good range
