Here is the summary of the YouTube video review:The MG ES5 is positioned to become a significant competitor for Tesla. This subcompact SUV shares a platform with the MG4 but has been updated and improved, with design cues from other MG models.
Key features include:
The exterior features a technological front and the back boasts a LED light that extends from taillight to taillight.

The console in the first row has a space to store the phone upright.
The ES5 EV model is equipped with two displays:

Road noise is prominent inside the vehicle.
Some assistance systems such as adaptive cruise control need improvement.
