MG5 Review - it's ACTUALLY good

Uploaded 3 years ago by carwow

Video Summary

Here's a summary of the YouTube video review of the MG5:- The MG5 starts at £29,695, but one can save around £2,800 through Carwow, which includes a £1,500 government grant.- It has a front-mounted electric motor with 156 horsepower.- The 61-kilowatt-hour battery pack claims a 250-mile range.- The exterior design is unappealing and outdated, with design elements reminiscent of a 10-year-old VW Passat and Hyundai i40.- Wheel sizes are 16 inches, and the car is visibly jacked up with large wheel arch gaps.- The interior isn't exciting, but it's acceptable.- Interior leather quality is okay, with leatherette on the dash.- The scratchy plastics are present, and the seating position can feel high.- It lacks fully digital dials and some consider that to be a stupid design.- The infotainment system is a bit slow to use but does come with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.- It has decent connectivity with USB charging ports.- Rear knee room and headroom is good, but there is hardly a footwell.- Fitting a baby seat is easy due to the wide doors and ISOfix anchor points.- Boot capacity is 580 liters.- The car has an annoying acoustic warning sound inside the cabin.- The test run achieved an average of 3.6 miles per kilowatt-hour, meaning about 220 miles on a full charge.- Suspension and the brakes are good, but it has limited one-pedal driving.- Wheel spins during acceleration, managed by stability control.- There's a seven-year warranty.- It doesn't have a light for the vanity mirror, and it has an inconveniently placed charging port.- Adaptive cruise control and automatic lane assist are standard, though there's a button to easily turn off the lane assist feature. The final verdict is to avoid it. Instead, buy it. It will surprise you, just like it has me.
