MG5 EV
MG5 EV SE Standard Range
The MG5 EV SE Standard Range is among the more affordable estates in this comparison. Its motorway range of around 166 miles is below most rivals in the figures shown here, so check charging access for longer journeys.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 90% of its battery health, roughly 216 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Practical estate body style provides significantly more usable boot space than comparable hatchbacks, with good cargo capacity for families and tradework. Significant depreciation concerns as used EV values drop rapidly; fuel savings often negated over typical 3-4 year ownership periods.

What Owners Say
PositiveOwners Love
- Practical estate body style provides significantly more usable boot space than comparable hatchbacks, with good cargo capacity for families and tradework
- Excellent value for money at under £20k with available affinity schemes and dealer discounts, offering 250+ miles of genuine real-world range
- Liquid-cooled LFP battery chemistry resists degradation better than air-cooled alternatives, with owners reporting high-mileage reliability (70k+ miles in taxi use)
Watch Out For
- Significant depreciation concerns as used EV values drop rapidly; fuel savings often negated over typical 3-4 year ownership periods
- Missing active safety features and lacks NCAP crash test rating, with older models lacking automatic emergency braking
- Poor range efficiency and slower acceleration (115kW) compared to Nissan Leaf+, with only 70kW rapid charging versus Leaf+ up to 100kW
Owner Tips
- Prioritize the Long Range model (61.1 kWh) for automatic emergency braking, ACC, and latest facelift improvements; verify latest software updates installed by dealer before purchase
- Use Zappi wallbox with myenergi app for scheduled charging workaround on Standard Range models, and test CCS rapid charging before buying to avoid potential negotiation failures
- Calculate total cost of ownership over 7+ years including depreciation and battery degradation; most economical with home charging and 15,000+ annual miles

Detailed degradation forecast
After 3 years, the MG5 EV SE Standard Range is estimated to retain around 95.4% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 161 miles in summer and 119 miles in winter. After 5 years, the MG5 EV SE Standard Range is estimated to retain around 93.4% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 158 miles in summer and 117 miles in winter. After 8 years, the MG5 EV SE Standard Range is estimated to retain around 90.4% battery health, giving a real-world range of approximately 153 miles in summer and 113 miles in winter. The battery is covered by a 7-year warranty, whichever comes first. This car uses a Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP) battery. LFP batteries can safely be charged to 100% without accelerating degradation.

Report incorrect specMG5 EV Trophy Long Range
The biggest caveat with the MG5 EV Trophy Long Range: it charges more slowly than most rivals, only about 24 miles in 10 minutes. It also won't go as far between charges as most rivals, around 207 miles on the motorway.
By eight years on the road it should still hold about 84% of its battery health, roughly 252 km of real-world range, which is a useful yardstick if you're buying used. What owners say: Practical estate body style provides significantly more usable boot space than comparable hatchbacks, with good cargo capacity for families and tradework. Significant depreciation concerns as used EV values drop rapidly; fuel savings often negated over typical 3-4 year ownership periods.
