Spacious, Stylish and Designed for Daily Life
The MGS5 EV is the second MG to use the brand’s advanced Modular Scalable Platform, first introduced on the award-winning MG4. This dedicated EV architecture combines rear-wheel drive dynamics with strong acceleration and energy efficiency. With a 110mm ultra-thin battery design and a Five-Link rear suspension setup, the MGS5 EV delivers on-road responsiveness and a smooth, comfortable ride.
“The MGS5 EV is our most complete and refined EV yet,” said Andrew Johnson, National Sales Manager, MG Motor Ireland. “It brings together the best of MG – driving fun, real practicality, high-tech comfort, and outstanding value – all in one stylish SUV package.”
Inside, the MGS5 EV offers generous space for passengers and luggage. There’s 1026mm of headroom in the front and 967mm in the rear, with a class-leading 453-litre boot that expands to 1441 litres with the seats folded. A two-stage boot floor, smart electric tailgate, mesh pockets and anchor points add real-world practicality. The cabin features premium finishes including soft-touch materials, a suede-style wireless phone charging pad, and a distinctive six-sided MG steering wheel.
Driver comfort is well supported, with Excite models offering 6-way driver and 4-way passenger seat adjustment, while Exclusive adds heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, rear privacy glass, and lumbar support.
Advanced Tech, Seamless Connectivity
Technology is at the heart of the new MGS5 EV, with every version equipped with iSMART, MG’s connected car system that allows drivers to control features such as pre-heating, battery monitoring, remote locking, and journey planning from their smartphone.
A centrally-mounted 12.8” HD touchscreen provides access to a range of built-in apps including YouTube, Spotify and TikTok. The system also features wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard, ensuring seamless smartphone connectivity without the need for cables. A 10.25” digital instrument cluster completes the dual-screen setup, and physical buttons for key functions (HVAC, demisting, hazards) offer intuitive control with minimal distraction.
MG Pilot: Safety Without Compromise
The MGS5 EV features the full MG Pilot ADAS suite, offering features like Active Emergency Braking, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control. Unique to the MGS5 EV is MG Pilot Custom, which allows the driver to configure and store their preferred settings for a tailored driving experience.
In partnership with Continental, MG has equipped the MGS5 EV with advanced EV braking performance. The car features large discs (321mm front, 300mm rear) and the latest integrated braking booster technology, delivering a stopping distance from 100km/h of just 35.5 metres.
Performance and Range
A high-efficiency electric drive unit delivers up to 170kW of power and 350Nm of torque, with full torque available in under 50 milliseconds. The MGS5 EV accelerates from 0–100km/h in as little as 6.3 seconds, and offers five driving modes (Normal, Sport, Comfort, Snow, Custom) to suit every journey.
Battery options include a 49kWh pack for urban-focused drivers and a 64kWh pack offering longer range. Irish WLTP figures deliver up to 480km on the Excite 64kWh version and 465km on the Exclusive 64kWh model.
Both batteries support rapid charging:
- 49kWh: 10–80% in 24 minutes (120kW)
- 64kWh: 10–80% in 28 minutes (139kW)
Designed to Impress
The design of the MGS5 EV reflects MG’s bold new EV identity. Its Cyberster-inspired split grille, striking LED lighting with chequered-flag DRLs, and sculpted sides create a strong visual signature. A sweeping spoiler and silver-accented cladding bring a dynamic edge to its SUV shape.
Standard colour options include Black Pearl, Cosmic Silver, Arctic White, Dynamic Red, Urban Grey, and the standout Electric Blue. Excite models feature 17” alloys, while Exclusive steps up to 18” wheels.
The MGS5 EV will be available to view and test drive in MG Motor Ireland dealerships from June. Orders are now open, with customer vehicles available from July.
