Introduction

What Car? says...

An electric car with a good range and a big boot must be pricey, right? Wrong. Let us introduce you to the MG5 EV – an estate car that combines a decent battery with an attractive list price.

How far can the MG5 go on a full charge? Officially, the 57kWh (usable) battery pack gives the model a range of up to 250 miles. That's not bad considering most rivals able to match that cost thousands of pounds more.

You'll notice that none of those are estate cars – the MG5 is unique in this price range as an electric estate, although there are plenty of electric SUVs around. To give you an idea of how it compares for practicality and boot space, we'll put it up against some petrol estates too, including the Ford Focus EstateKia Ceed Sportswagen and VW Golf Estate.

When you've decided which make and model to buy, we can help you find it for the lowest price if you search our free What Car? New Car Deals pages. It has big savings on a huge range of new cars, including lots of new estate car deals.
