MG MG5 Electric Long Range

The MG MG5 Electric Standard Range remains one of the most practical and accessible electric estates on the market, combining zero-emission driving with real-world usability, generous luggage space, and straightforward family-friendly motoring. Designed for drivers who need the versatility of an estate without the running costs of a traditional petrol or diesel vehicle, it delivers a compelling blend of value, efficiency, and everyday convenience.

Power comes from a front-mounted electric motor producing 130 kW and 280 Nm of torque, sending power to the front wheels through a front-wheel-drive layout. Instant electric response provides smooth and confident acceleration, allowing the MG5 Electric Standard Range to sprint from 0-62 mph in 7.7 seconds. With a top speed of approximately 115 mph, it offers more than enough performance for motorway cruising, commuting, and family road trips.

Beneath the practical estate bodywork sits a 46 kWh usable battery pack, delivering an efficient balance between affordability and everyday driving range. According to EV Database estimates, drivers can expect a practical real-world range of around 165 miles, making the MG5 well suited to daily commuting, school runs, and local travel. Official WLTP figures may vary according to market specification, tyre choice, weather conditions, and driving style.

Charging is simple and convenient thanks to support for Type 2 AC charging at home, work, or public destinations, alongside CCS DC rapid charging at up to 63 kW. Under suitable conditions, a typical rapid-charging session can take approximately 39 minutes, enabling drivers to add useful range during a short break.

One of the MG5’s biggest strengths is its estate body style, offering impressive practicality that remains rare among electric vehicles. The spacious luggage area and comfortable cabin make it an ideal choice for families, business users, and anyone needing extra carrying capacity without stepping up to a larger SUV.
