Performance

The MG MGS5 EV Standard 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 49.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 47.1 kWh, providing a 1.9 kWh buffer (3.9%) for battery protection. The Lithium-Ion battery utilizes LFP technology, which offers advantages and disadvantages compared to typical NCA/NMC batteries.

According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 340 km (211 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 13.9 kWh/100 km (3 mi/kWh). 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 120 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 65 minutes, while a typical 10% to 80% charge takes about 21 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 60%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 88 kW, with each charging session taking about 18 minutes and 15 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 10 hours and 11 minutes, needing six charging stops from 3% to 61%, totaling 112 minutes of charging time.
