The infotainment system looks like a standard unit, customized to let you change the car’s settings. It’s not particularly responsive, big or pretty, but at least its extreme simplicity means it’s easy to navigate.
Fun for an electric car, the gauges are analog, with a screen between the dials that gives all the information you need – like the economy, which hovers around 3.6 miles per kWh – and some information you don’t need. have not, like the charging voltage and the current supplied by the battery.
Things only get a little better when you start driving. With 154 hp and 192 lb-ft of torque, and no gear to change, it seems pretty quick, but even on a very hot, dry day, the power easily exceeded the traction of the front tires, before traction control went downhill. ‘intervenes rather crudely. It’s not the kind of car to go fast anyway. Body control is fairly loose, but the steering is well weighted (except on the highway, where it weighs), while the ride absorbs bumps well.
The other thing that might draw you to the MG 5 is that the Long Range gets MG Pilot, a suite of active safety features, including Adaptive Cruise Control with Lane Keep Assist and Automatic Emergency Braking. Again, like the chassis, powertrain, and interior, it lacks a coat of varnish in a way that wouldn’t be signed by other automakers. Lane keep assist is rather awkward, and adaptive cruise control leaves braking too late. Fortunately, you can turn the batch off and it will stay that way if you want to.
