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.

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 all-electric estate car, offering no-nonsense value and family-friendly practicality. Similar in size to a Volkswagen Golf Estate yet significantly cheaper than rivals such as the Citroën e-C4 and Volkswagen ID.3, it carved out a unique niche in the market. The final version used a 61.1kWh battery and 154bhp electric motor, delivering an official range of 249 miles and real-world figures around 220 miles. A major facelift in 2022 brought sharper styling, a revised cabin and updated infotainment, whilst maintaining the original formula of simplicity, practicality and value for money.
The MG5's greatest strength is its practicality. With 479 litres of boot space (or 1,367 litres with rear seats folded), it easily outpaces similarly priced electric hatchbacks. The cabin is basic but spacious, with generous room for adults and two Isofix points for child seats. Running costs are impressively low, with DC rapid charging reaching 10-80% in around 35 minutes. The seven-year/80,000-mile warranty, transferable to future owners, provides valuable peace of mind. Whilst driving dynamics are unremarkable and early models suffer from slower charging, the MG5 remains one of the best-value electric estate cars available on the used market.
Best for: Budget-conscious families seeking practical electric transport, those needing genuine estate-car space with zero tailpipe emissions, and buyers prioritising value over badge appeal.
Not ideal for: Drivers seeking engaging handling, premium interior quality, or those with early models requiring faster charging capabilities.
Comparison vs Key Rivals
| Vehicle | CarGurus Expert Rating | CarGurus User Rating | Good/Great deals % | Overall CarGurus Rating |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| MG MG5 | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 29.3% | 4.3/5 |
| Kia Niro | 4/5 | 5.0/5 | 35.3% | 4.5/5 |
| Volkswagen ID.3 | 4/5 | 4.8/5 | 34.1% | 4.3/5 |
| Citroën C4 | 3/5 | 4.8/5 | 35.4% | 4.3/5 |
The Verdict
You should buy the MG5 if: You're seeking a practical, affordable electric estate car with genuine family space, low running costs, and excellent value for money.
Consider alternatives if: You prioritise engaging handling, premium interior quality, or require the fastest charging speeds available.
Competitive Position: The MG MG5 (2020-2025) stands out as the most affordable electric estate car on the used market, offering unmatched practicality and value. Whilst the Kia Niro edges ahead on user ratings and deal availability, the MG5 uniquely combines estate-car space with electric efficiency at a significantly lower price point. The Volkswagen ID.3 and Citroën C4 offer comparable ratings but lack the MG5's generous boot capacity. For budget-conscious families prioritising space and affordability over premium appeal, the MG5 remains an exceptionally sensible choice, especially with its transferable seven-year warranty providing valuable peace of mind.
