Video Summary
Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:The MG5 EV is a compact SUV electric car competing with the Renault Scenic electric and the Skoda Elroq. It measures 4.47 meters long, 1.84 meters wide, and 1.62 meters high. It's narrower and higher than the Scenic but shorter than the Elroq. The MG5 EV has a rear motor of the synchronous permanent magnet type. The entry-level motor develops 170 HP and 240 Nm, while the high-end version develops 231 HP and 350 Nm. The entry-level model has a 49 kWh LFP battery, giving 47 kWh of usable net energy, and the top model has a 64 kWh NMC battery, giving 62 kWh net useful.
The review focuses on the entry-level comfort version, which still has alloy wheels, full LED optics, and roof rails. Options are limited to metallic paint. The trunk is 453 L, above the Scenic, and expandable to 1441 L with seats folded. There is no front trunk.
Rear passenger space is ample. In the comfort version, there is USB-C, vents, and a flat floor in the back, but no armrest. The driver's seat has height adjustment, but the passenger seat does not. Interior door panels are padded, but the upper part of the door and much of the dash are rigid plastic.
Its digital instrumentation is basic with some reflections and no GPS. The center touchscreen is reactive with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, but has some limited physical buttons for some climate controls.
The 0-100 km/h is claimed at 8 seconds. The car tested weighs 1635 kg, lighter than the Scenic, for a fun driving experience due to the low weight. The steering is pleasant and the traction is limited by the tires. A 340 kilometer WLTP range and mixed consumption of 16.6 kWh/100 km are listed. The reviewer sees a real-world range of 180 to 300 km. In DC, the battery charges at up to 120 kW. With AC the small battery charges at 6.6kW and the larger battery at 11 kW.
The MG5 starts at 32,490 euros. The high end model is 38,490. The warranty is 7 years or 150,000 km.
The car offers great value for the price.
