Buttons on touch screen hard to hit it? you can also control climate controls using the buttons on the steering wheel if its the same as MG4.

[@wongcna]

The price gone higher mainly because of the GBP rate down almost 20% against USD for the last 13 months. Otherwise this car should the same price as previous version. I am tempting to get this MG5 or the upcoming BYD atto3 for family car

[@davidcolin6519]

I started out looking at Hyundai/KIA models, but I simply don't see any way that I can justify those prices, especially when MG offer the 4 and 5 at these prices. I'd already dismissed the VW iD3 not only because of the continuing problems with the electronics, but because an iD3 specced at a similar level to these alternatives (both Hyundai/KIA and MG) comes out at 48K Euros! So MG4 or 5? I'm still not sure; 1 offers lower price/smaller size, the other larger, higher price. I suspect that the ultra long range 4 that is due out next year will probably be the one. But in both cases, it is the addition of towing capacity that is the clincher for me.

[@AdrianNelson1507]

They got rid of buttons! One step forward two steps back

[@paultrussy4243]

Done the same with the Skoda Superb; much rather have earlier versions of the mark 3 just because of this. Reliance on touchscreens is a mistake until cars become fully self-drive (not any time soon in the UK)

[@L1VE3V1L]

Buttons are parts. Parts break. Parts are expensive and a lot of extra machining to install en masse.

[@zitronenfalte]

In germany the old version never was available, i got mine "that" version car 4 weeks ago and am really happy with it. There is a smaller battery available in germany that is LFP technology that i got because i preferred that over the nmh one for several reasons and it's a shame you don't have it in Brittain! Anyway, there are a couple of things in the interior of the old version i think are better by a lot. Climacontrol and compartments in the drivers reach are missing and not for the better.

[@johnminshall242]

Improved, like Kia Niro, but - as with that - there wasn’t much wrong with original, for the ‘bargain’ price! I think I still favour the Kia, but this MG definitely closes the gap, and you’d have to at least consider it if you’re buying in say £30-40k price range.

[@stepheng8779]

How has the new Niro improved? I can't see it.

[@GinoFoto]

Why are electric cars so limited in terms of towing capability in general, depside more than enough kW compared to gasoline counterparts?

[@blujez]

Because it absolutely batters range. It's why there's very few electric estates. Battery raises floor and kills boot space and the variable weight screws up range. Or at least that's what I've heard multiple times. Explains a lot. Who wants a car that you can't rely on the range of?

[@kevintang5473]

Because there are no variable gear ratios in EV. In a gas car, you (or the computer) simply downshift when you need to drag a heavier load, and the power required will be almost linearly correlated with the added weight and resistance. Not the same for EV. Once you get out of the optimal weight / resistance range the efficiency will drop dramatically

[@blujez]

@@kevintang5473 ah right that would make sense. I guessed it was a quirk of EV. Hence why massive trucks and SUVs are possible but estates are problematic. At least with current battery technology.

[@chrishyde1216]

I don’t get these justifications. Give the towing capacity and let the buyer decide how to deal with it; if the capacity isn’t there in the first place then it’s game over. Also the charging stations need to allow for some people towing, without the need to unhitch. Otherwise EVs are great for towing, with lots of torque and quiet on site.

[@williamarmstrong7199]

A new VW gold TDI is £36,000+ a new Ford Focus Titanium is still more money than the MG5. Add in the serviceing and savings on running costs.. buying an MG5 is a total no brainer. P.s in 22 months my std range MG5 has done 80670 fault free miles and for that milage has cost me only £570 in servicing (tyres aside) my brake pads when it was last serviced were only 15% used. So they should last a good 200,000 miles. Battery is still at 100% state of health. If you do low milage a leased MG5 will save you a fortune due to their very high resale value.

You think the old one looked better? Its purely subjective but I think your the first person I've ever heard say that. The old one looked like a cheap passat. I think this one looks good.

[@chrishyde1216]

I thought the old one was OK but the new one looks more elegant, but looks are hardly worth debating as we all have different tastes and everybody has a valid view. The killer feature compared to other EVs is that it's an estate. Putting looks aside, and noting that the mechanicals are the same, the reasons to buy the latest version are the roof rails now being usable with 75kg, the ability to tow 500kg, the remote app, the slicker infotainment (?), and I think the headlights are now LED. I'd have try the old and new and decide if the latter is worth spending more.

What all channels keep quiet are that lithium batteries will die in around 10years or fasterdepend on mileage and new ones will costs as half new car but your car would not be new car and of course price of electricity on chargers are pretty close to fuel prices but you don't recharge fast as fuel

[@Brian-om2hh]

Personally I wouldn't buy a new battery pack. I'd have my existing one refurbished for a fraction of the cost of replacing it, but that's just me. I rarely use public chargers, but if I did, I would subscribe to the charge network I wanted to use, because this can reduce the cost by up to 50%. My local charge network charges 45p per kwh if you subscribe. Charging at home on an off-peak tariff costs around a 7th of the cost of using petrol..... I pay 10p per kwh, and have 6 hours per night at that price.
