IM5 Long Range

The MG IM5 Long Range is a 5-seat liftback with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £45,495. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 4.9 seconds, quicker than 73% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 323 miles (520 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 87% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 13th of 38 liftbacks.

It uses around 3.3 mi/kWh (186 Wh/km), about the same as the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 96.5 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 250 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 413 miles (665 km) at motorway speeds.

It has a heat pump, which helps preserve range in cold weather, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses NCM chemistry, which stores more energy for its weight than LFP.

Its UK starting price works out at £141 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for liftbacks (£192 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £25,900–£29,600, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 317 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
