We've organized this article into specific sections for easier navigation. Click the links below to jump to different areas or read on for the full article. Additionally, we offer an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections include:

Performance

The MG MGS5 EV Long Range offers modest performance with a maximum power of 170 kW (231 hp / 228 bhp) and a total torque of 350 Nm (258 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 6.3 seconds and has a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph), aligning more closely with traditional internal combustion engine vehicles.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 64.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 62.1 kWh, providing a 1.9 kWh buffer (3.0%) for battery protection. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range varies between 480 to 463 km (298-288 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle's energy consumption is rated at 12.9 kWh/100 km for the base model and 13.4 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle.For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 139 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 86 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 28 minutes with an average charging speed of 94 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 3% to 58%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 95 kW, with each charging session taking about 22 minutes and 40 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 55 minutes, requiring four charging stops from 2% to 62%, totaling 95 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 7 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 8 hours and 52 minutes using a home setup.

Charge Port

The charge port is located on the left rear side, making it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger.
