MGS5 EV 49 kWh

The MG MGS5 EV 49 kWh is a 5-seat SUV with rear-wheel drive, on sale in the UK from £28,745. It accelerates from 0 to 62 mph in 8.0 seconds, slower than 72% of the electric cars on sale in the UK. Its estimated real-world range is 171 miles (275 km) in a mix of town, country and motorway driving. That is longer than 13% of the 471 electric cars on sale in the UK, and 228th of 242 SUVs.

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 47.1 kWh and on a rapid charger it averages 80 kW between 10% and 80%. With one 15-minute charging stop, it can cover an estimated 192 miles (309 km) at motorway speeds.

No heat pump is listed for this version, and it supports vehicle-to-load (V2L), so it can power appliances from its battery. The battery uses LFP chemistry, which manufacturers generally allow to be charged to 100% routinely.

Its UK starting price works out at £168 per mile of real-world range, lower than the median for SUVs (£186 per mile).

Second-hand, a 2025 example is estimated at £16,400–£18,700, based on typical EV depreciation. After typical battery wear, a 2025 car should still manage about 168 miles of real-world range. These are estimates, not valuations: check real prices before you buy.
