Video Summary
Here is the summary of the MG5 EV review:The reviewer tests the MG5 EV Comfort with a small 49 kWh battery and 170 horsepower. The Comfort version starts at approximately €30,000. The main question is can one travel with this version and use it for weekend trips or vacations? The GPS is very basic. It does not provide recharge stops on its own. This may mean multiple recharges are necessary. At 95% battery capacity, the car indicates a 308-km range. It is anticipated that the car can do around 200 km between charging stops. The reviewer will "drive to sight" to see what the car does and what its limitations are. MG5 shares the technical base with the MG4. The luxury version has 64kwh but is not a lot more in cost. If choosing the Comfort, bear in mind that it may not be suitable for long highway driving. Overall, this version may be best used for urban trips. The charge is stopped at 80% battery to avoid the much lower rate after this, with a total recharge time of 27 minutes and 32 kWh recovered. It took over an hour and a half for the whole journey, and the cost was approximately 86 euros. On the other hand, the reviewer notes that he typically does not get that good of a consumption rate on other brands. In fact, one had a 200km distance and used 100% of charge. The car is a good-looking vehicle. A small downside: The driving aids could be greatly improved. There is a lane departure assistance system. The cruise controls are not the best either.
