Frequently asked questions
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the MG S5 EV?
The Citroën ë-Berlingo is £230 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the two land within £110 of each other - effectively the same to own. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-Berlingo and MG S5 EV like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 136 miles for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 208 miles for the MG S5 EV - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MG S5 EV goes roughly 71 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the MG S5 EV?
The two are within 1 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 552 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-Berlingo or the MG S5 EV?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-Berlingo and 84% for the MG S5 EV. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
