It comes with a 61 kWh battery, providing a range of around 400 km under standard conditions. Charging supports up to 100 kW DC fast charging, allowing 0 to 80% charge in approximately 35 minutes. AC charging at home is slower, around 7 kW.

Pricing positions the MGS5 in the mid-range EV segment. It suits drivers looking for a practical SUV with decent range and comfort. Two other MG EVs include the MG ZS EV and MG4 EV. Alternatives include Hyundai Kona Electric and Kia Niro EV. In comparison, the MG MGS5 offers slightly more interior space than the MG ZS EV but similar range.
