We have separated our MG MG5 Electric Long Range article into sections. If you want to wait to read the full article, click the links below to the different areas. We also have an overview of the full specifications, an image gallery, detailed information about charging performance, and some online reviews. Our sections:

Performance

The MG MG5 Electric Long Range has a maximum power of 115 KW (156 hp/154 bhp). The total torque is 280 nm (207 ft-lb). It performs the 0-100km/h sprint (0-62mph) in 8.3 seconds. The top speed is 185 km/h.

Battery, range, and charging

The battery has a gross capacity of 61,1kWh and a net capacity of 57,4kWh, meaning you have a 3,7kWh buffer for protection. (6.1%). The Lithium-Ion battery uses NMC technology.

The WLTP range varies from 400 to 380 km (249-236 mi), depending on car options. Bigger wheels are an example of an equipment option that increases consumption and reduces the electric range. The consumption is between 14.4kWh/100km for the basic version and 15.1kWh/100km for the top trim version for the WLTP standard test. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listing on this model’s range and consumption page.

The maximum DC charging speed is 87kW. A full charge from 0 - 100% would take 75 minutes, while a more common scenario of 10-80% would take 33 minutes. If you assume you lose 5 minutes driving per charge stop in addition to the charge time, the optimum charge area is from 8% to 58%, resulting in an actual charge speed, including time loss, of 67kW. Each charge session would take 26 minutes and 50 seconds.

For the theoretical 1000km challenge, starting with a full battery and driving at 120km/h (75 mph), assuming optimal driving conditions and consumption of 23kWh/100km, 1000km will take 10 hours and 57 minutes. This trip will require seven charge session(s) charging from 9% to 52%. The total time lost for charging up the battery will be 157 minutes.

Onboard charger

For level 1 and level 2 AC charging, the onboard charger supports up to 11 KW charging. As a result, you can charge the battery 0-100% from home in about 5 hours and 13 minutes.
