Description
The MGS5 is one of those cars which does everything quite well, from comfort to amenities to range to value, but no car is all things to all drivers, so Gav went on a voyage of discovery to see what makes this particular vehicle different.
The first factor worth mentioning is the car's value. The MGS5 starts at $44,990 and delivers 335 km (WLTP) of range. From there you have three other model variants, each increasing in range and amenities, going up to the Essence 62 at $54,990 with 425 km (WLTP) of range per charge.
From there you'll find yourself driving a suite of safety systems, comfort and gadgetry in a wide selection of exterior colours and optional interior, too. It's a vehicle that's been designed with families in mind; sometimes making it almost painfully sensible at times, as Gav found out!
