MG 5 EV

Using a rapid charger, you’ll have 80% battery charge only 40 minutes using a 100kW unit. Charge the MG5 however suits you. Overnight at home on a standard 7kW home charger; or if you need a boost while travelling, take advantage of the growing network of charge points across Ireland. Charge ports are easily found - CCS and Type 2 ports in the front grille. The MG5 has also been designed with smart features to make the most of your range, with 3 levels of regenerative braking to increase efficiency and optimise charge. It also has Eco, Normal and Sport driving modes, so the car can adapt to your journey or driving style.

From suitcases to bulky boxes, musical instruments to double buggies, you can move more in one go. And if the load is larger than usual, just fold the back seats and take advantage of 1,456 litres of space. The spacious boot still leaves room for back seat passengers, who can enjoy plenty of head  and legroom. In the front seat, get comfortable with the six-way adjustable driver’s and four-way adjustable passenger seats. Plus, there’s cloth upholstery on the Excite; or leather-style upholstery, heated front seats and driver’s lumbar support on the Exclusive.

• Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) Adaptive Cruise Control monitors the road ahead. As long as the road ahead  is clear, ACC maintains the speed set  by the driver. If the system spots a slower vehicle within its detection range, it gently reduces speed by reducing motor power or actively engaging the brake control system. If the vehicle ahead speeds up or changes lanes,  ACC automatically accelerates back  to the driver’s desired speed. 

• Intelligent Speed Limit Assist The car will actively detect speed limit signs and alert the driver of the current speed limit by way of a symbol on the driver’s instrument cluster. The symbol acts as a reminder to the driver, reducing the risk of exceeding the speed limit. 

• Intelligent High Beam Assist When the headlight high beam is set to the AUTO position, the system automatically switches to low beam when it detects a vehicle ahead.  This enables drivers to maximise  the use of high beam, making  night-time driving safer, without  the risk of dazzling oncoming traffic. 

• Active Emergency Braking (AEB) At speeds below 19 km/h, the car will automatically apply its brakes to avoid  a collision with a vehicle, bicycle or pedestrian. At speeds above 19 km/h,  AEB will reduce the likelihood or  mitigate the severity of an accident. 

• Lane Keep Assist (LKA) Lane Keep Assist uses a camera to detect lane markings ahead and monitors the vehicles position in its lane. When the function detects the vehicle is about to unintentionally move out of  its lane, it applies a subtle corrective steering input to keep the car within its lane. The driver may also select an alternative Lane Departure Warning, where the vehicle will warn the driver  of an imminent lane departure by means of a visual, audible and steering wheel vibration but will not perform a  corrective input. 

• Traffic Jam Assist (TJA) When Adaptive Cruise Control is  turned on, Traffic Jam Assist continuously  analyses the speed of the surrounding vehicles and compares it with its own driving speed. If the system detects dense traffic or a traffic jam at speeds below 56 km/h, the driver can activate TJA. The car will automatically follow the vehicle in front, controlling its acceleration, braking and steering  within the same lane.
