Is MG the right make for you?
Why buy a used MG5
Looking to buy a used MG5? You're considering one of the most practical electric vehicles on the market – and one of the only electric estate cars. Used MG5 cars represent exceptional value, offering generous interior space that outshines comparable EVs.
The MG5's refreshingly simple options list means you won't get overwhelmed with choices – just one reliable electric motor and battery configuration across two well-equipped trim levels. This electric estate excels where others fall short: boot space and rear passenger room.
Popular MG5 trims for sale at Motorpoint
The trim list is nice and straightforward for the MG5 with just two options and generous amounts of standard kit on both. It's worth noting that in older models, SE cars were called Excite, and Trophy models were called Exclusive.
- SE – Essential tech including adaptive cruise control, a reversing camera, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
- Trophy – this adds premium leather-effect upholstery, heated seats, keyless entry, and climate control
Owning a used MG5
Buy a used MG5 and you'll discover an ownership experience that's surprisingly refined, once you get used to the car’s slightly odd infotainment user experience. Despite the car’s competitive price point, the cabin quality is pretty decent, particularly in Trophy models with their faux-leather upholstery. The infotainment system, upgraded in 2022 with a larger screen, includes built-in sat nav, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto – though it's not quite as responsive as premium German rivals.
Running costs remain impressively low with electric power if you can charge at home on an overnight tariff, while reliability should be solid.
The driving experience is calm and composed, perfect for family duties and longer journeys. The MG5’s interior space is its trump card – you can comfortably fit child seats and adult passengers, with boot capacity that's head-and-shoulders above other electric vehicles in this price range.
Other models to consider
Electric estates are few and far between these days, unless you have the £90,000 needed for a Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo. But also consider the Volkswagen ID.4, the Kia Niro EV and Hyundai Kona Electric.

MG 5 FAQs
You’ll only find MG 5 cars in one version and it’s a five-door, five-seat estate with a hatchback boot opening. From late 2021 (71-plate cars), the battery pack grew from 53kWh to 61kWh, which saw claimed range jump from 214 to 250 miles.
The MG 5 received a facelift in mid-2022. The update left the battery and motor unchanged but gave the exterior a fairly substantial refresh, with a completely different front end that ditched the old-fashioned grille in favour of a meaner-looking Robocop-style fascia.
The MG 5 is a little more than 4.5 metres long. That puts it in a similar ballpark to other family estates including the Volkswagen Golf, Ford Focus and Vauxhall Astra – the MG is a few millimetres shorter in length but is a fraction taller in height. Compared to similarly priced EVs such as the Nissan Leaf, Renault Zoe and Hyundai Ioniq Electric, the MG5 is noticeably larger. All MG 5s include rear parking sensors and a reversing camera so it shouldn’t be too tricky to park in tight spots.
Passenger space in the MG 5 is on-par with similarly sized fuel-powered cars but outstrips most EVs in the same price range. You’ll find enough room in the back for adults to get comfortable, but elbow room will be limited if you try to squeeze three across the rear row. Thanks to the estate body style, the MG 5’s cargo area will swallow a push chair or a couple of large suitcases with ease, which is substantially more than most electric rivals can handle.
You’ll find only one motor and battery option for the MG 5 and this setup delivers one of the longest claimed driving range at this price. As an added bonus, it’s also one of the quicker models in this segment.
While it might lack the styling flair of some rivals in the affordable EV segment, the MG 5 strikes back with plenty of benefits. The range is impressive for price, the electric motor is reasonably powerful, the interior is positively loaded with equipment and, most importantly to family buyers, the suspension is refreshingly comfortable.
Of course, you still pay a premium for the battery tech under the body work, so there are several fuel-powered options that undercut the MG on price. If you can fit an EV into your life, however, the MG 5 is one of the very best choices at this price.
The MG 5 is a relatively new car so hasn't featured in many reliability surveys. While MG as a brand hasn't fared too well in these reports, we expect the MG 5 to perform better thanks to its electric powertrain which is more mechanically simple than a fuel-powered car.
MG offers a long seven-year factory warranty but, for extra peace of mind, you can purchase an extended warranty that kicks in once the factory coverage runs out. This will protect you in the event of an unexpected electrical or mechanical failure.
