    24 new mg5 trophy 0miles £23k on the road March 2024 @...Luscombe Leeds. driven 2500 miles averaged 4.5m/kw. have regularly exceeded 5m/kw. GOM is pretty accurate. Easy to drive , loads of room. only negative rear middle seat is not for an adult too hard.. very pleased with it. only used public charging twice and it worked no problems. Other than that charged on Solar excess at home via Givenergy charger so free fuel.

    Trophy with 16 inch? Would be a lot better than the more expensive 17s
  • @keithware5314
    Thanks for this review. I was planning on changing my MG5 pre facelift to this new version but decided to stay with my one.
  • @Ambienfinity
    Great review, I do really like this car. A proper, old fashioned estate, puts me in mind of the Cortina estate my dad had when I was a kid.
  • @gassman55
    Too bad this isn’t available in the US. I have had a 1990 300 TE, 2006 Volvo V70R which I still own and currently a 2021 MBZ all terrain. Love wagons!!
  • @FudgeMaths
    Thank you for the review. Don't understand why they didn't design the rear seats so the base folded up and the back folded flat - would be far more practical.
  • 2022 plated ? when was this shot ?. Love the idea of V2L as we have a caravan so on site running the 3Kw van would be good
  • I must admit that I do like the look of this car, and from your comments Ben I think it would comprehensively tick my boxes. However there is one elephant in the room, and that is the high level console, I absolutely detest them and it would preclude me buying one I’m afraid. The versatility of my Honda HRV continues to amaze me, had a big load from the nursery in the back over the weekend including two 8’ trees! (60+ mpg) Keep up the good work Ben look forward to the road test.👍😎
  • @stevezodiac491
    Which is faster on this electric car. The degradation or the falling second hand value ?
  • @ISuperTed
    I’ve had a look at the MG5, as really want an EV estate, but it’s just too small for our needs. Needs more boot space. May look at a used e308 but both of them need more useable range. Only other alternative on the horizon is the MG4 estate (if it ever arrives!).
  • I very like the concept - but it doesn't look appealing (exterior and interior). MG should make a nicer (more expensive) version.
  • @pstanyer1
    No range when fully loaded, night the jogger estate miles cheaper and bigger. And twice the range.
