Compare the MG IM5 Long Range with these alternatives:
Performance
The MG IM5 Long Range has a maximum power of 300 kW (408 hp / 402 bhp) and a total torque of 500 Nm (369 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 4.9 seconds and reaches a top speed of 220 km/h (137 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 100.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 96.5 kWh, with a 3.5 kWh buffer (3.5%) for battery protection. The battery operates at a nominal voltage of 751 V, supporting high-power DC charging.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 710 km (441 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 655 km (407 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 13.6 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 14.7 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
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 380 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 43 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 17 minutes at an average power of 235 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 2–66%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 196 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 53 seconds.
The MG IM5 Long Range supports high-power DC charging.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 23.3 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 2 minutes, needing two charging stops from 2% to 73%, totaling 42 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 8 hours and 46 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The charge port is at the left rear corner, which suits charging stalls that require backing in.
This model uses a CCS Combo 2 connector in its charge port.
Bidirectional Charging
This model supports V2L (Vehicle to Load), allowing you to power electrical equipment requiring up to 6.6 kW of power, and even charge other electric vehicles.
