MG5 Electric Long Range

The MG MG5 Electric Long Range is a 5-seat estate with front-wheel drive, sold new from 2022 to 2025, when it cost £30,995 in the UK, and now only available second-hand. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 7.7 seconds, slower than 67% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 208 miles (335 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 26% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and the shortest of 26 estates.

It uses around 3.6 mi/kWh (171 Wh/km), more efficient than the typical EV on sale (3.5 mi/kWh). The usable battery holds 57.4 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 60 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 202 miles (325 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.

Second-hand, a 2022 example is estimated at £10,000–£11,700 and a 2025 one at £17,700–£20,100, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2022 car should still manage about 192 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
