The MG MGS5 is a practical electric SUV that suits families after affordable EV credentials without breaking the bank. You're looking at a solid 430km range from the 62kWh battery, which handles most week-to-week driving without range anxiety. The thing worth considering is that MG's charging network in Australia isn't as widespread as Tesla's, so you'll want to check what's available where you live before committing.

The MY25 MG MGS5 EV Excite 62 keeps the Excite's 17-inch wheels, fabric trim and four-speaker audio but swaps to a 62 kWh LFP pack for 430 km of WLTP combined range and lifts DC charging to 150 kW, a 30-80% claim of 19.3 minutes. Power stays at 125 kW and 250 Nm so the extra 70 kg costs it two tenths to 100 km/h at 8.2 seconds. For most buyers this is the value pick of the range.

The MY25 MG MGS5 EV Essence 49 adds the comfort layer to the 49 kWh car: 18-inch alloys, a panoramic electric sunroof, heated front seats and heated steering wheel, a six-way electric driver's seat with lumbar, a kick-activated power tailgate, wireless charging, rain-sensing wipers, privacy glass and a six-speaker system with voice control. The larger wheels and extra weight trim WLTP range to 335 km and 0-100km/h to 8.2 seconds.

The MY25 MG MGS5 EV Excite 49 is the entry point to MG's rear-drive electric SUV, the car MG positions as the ZS EV's replacement. A 49 kWh LFP pack feeds a single 125 kW / 250 Nm rear motor for 340 km of WLTP combined range and 8.0 seconds to 100 km/h, with 120 kW DC charging taking 30-80% in a claimed 19 minutes. Standard kit is unusually complete for a base grade: 360-degree camera, adaptive cruise with Intelligent Cruise Assist and traffic jam assist, blind spot detection, rear cross-traffic braking, a 12.8-inch touchscreen with wireless CarPlay and Android Auto, and vehicle-to-load.

The MY25 MG MGS5 EV Essence 62 is the flagship: 62 kWh LFP pack, 425 km WLTP combined, 150 kW DC charging, 18-inch alloys and the full Essence comfort set including a panoramic sunroof, heated front seats and steering wheel, power tailgate with foot kick and wireless phone charging. At 1,755 kg tare it is the heaviest of the four and the slowest to 100 km/h at 8.6 seconds, which tells you it is tuned for range and refinement rather than pace.
