Video Summary
The MG5 has a smaller boot capacity of 479 liters; however, space exists under the boot floor for charging cables. Getting into a MG5 with child seats might be harder due to a lower roofline. The MG5 has heated seats which the Skoda does not, and it receives charging points as standard in the back seats. One of the downfalls with MG5 is that In-screen aircon controls are hard to use when driving. Standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are not wireless; they have a power-fold mirror and cruise control. The standard SE is the better value, with the SE and Trophy versions priced around £31,000-£33,500 respectively.The used Skoda Enyaq iV 60 is a good value; prices sit around £31,700. However, rear charging sockets are optional and not standard. A usable battery capacity of 58-kilowatt hours has a Wltp driving range of 256 miles, and It's just as roomy as expected up in the front.
Skoda has a better reliability rating, while the used Enyaq requires 100-kilowatt rapid charging extra, but as of September 2022, 120-kilowatt charging is standard with the model 60. A home charge of 7-kilowatt will charge a flat battery in about 7-8 hours.
The Skoda has a three-point-five miles per kilowatt hour, and its range in summer will be about 200 miles; In winter, its range is more like 150-180 miles. Some software issues exist with the 13-inch touchscreen on the Skoda Enyaq, and the touch slider volume control at the bottom may be hit accidentally. The user should find a dealer that specializes in used electric cars to test the battery before buying. Battery longevity in an EV generally lasts the life of the car.
