Pros

What works in its favour

Best for buyers who want the most WLTP range per pound in a family hatchback and can live without a heat pump.

  • Buyers who want long range without a premium price — 545 km WLTP from a 74.4 kWh usable battery, from about £32,995 in the UK, €38,950 in the Netherlands or €44,990 in Germany
  • Drivers who want a normal-sized family hatchback — 4,287 mm long with a 388-litre boot that opens out to 1,164 litres with the rear seats down
  • Owners who want to run kit off the car — vehicle-to-load supplies up to 2.2 kW through a Type 2 adapter

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • AC charging depends on the market: MG's European pages list 11 kW, while the UK page lists 6.6 kW, so check the spec sheet for the country you are buying in.
  • Fast-charging claims differ — MG quotes 10-80% in 25 minutes, while EV Database's independent estimate is 41 minutes at an 80 kW average.
  • There is no heat pump, so cold-weather range drops harder than on rivals that fit one, and MG does not publish a battery-specific warranty alongside its 7-year vehicle cover.
