The MG 5 has a total range of 635 kilometers on a full tank of fuel, which is more than sufficient for a family sedan. Powertrain Options: The MG 5 is equipped with two engine options: a 1.5T and a 1.5L. These are paired with a 7-speed three-chamber wet dual-clutch transmission and an 8-speed intelligent iCVT transmission, respectively. Powertrain Details: The 1.5T variant of the MG 5 features the MEGA-Tech 1.5T high-pressure direct-injection turbocharged engine and a 7-speed three-chamber wet dual-clutch transmission, delivering a maximum power of 126 kW (172 horsepower) and a peak torque of 275 Nm. The 1.5L model is powered by SAIC's self-developed fourth-generation 1.5L naturally aspirated engine, producing a maximum power of 88 kW (120 horsepower), mated to an 8-speed intelligent iCVT transmission. Range Performance: In terms of range, the MG 5 offers ample endurance, stable and robust power, and comprehensive driver-assistance features, making it fully capable of handling trips to neighboring cities and provinces.

I've been driving the MG5 for almost a year now. The car's claimed range is around 400 kilometers, but actual performance depends on conditions. The official data is based on ideal road tests. For my daily commute of about 50 kilometers and weekend family shopping trips, a full charge gives me 350 to 380 kilometers. Weather has a big impact - with AC on in summer, range drops to just over 300 km, and winter performance is worse. Interestingly, maintaining steady speeds on highways actually improves efficiency, giving slightly more range. Charging is convenient - 8 hours for a full charge at home, or 30 minutes at fast-charging stations for 80% capacity. Overall, the range meets daily needs perfectly, requiring just one weekly charge with no financial stress. Remember to avoid aggressive acceleration and maintain proper tire pressure for more consistent range. When new, it was rated for 400 km - I'd say 350-400 km is realistic in real-world conditions, just adjust according to driving habits.

The MG5 EV's range is quite reliable. Based on my long-term driving experience, the official maximum range is 420 km, while the actual WLTP-tested range is around 350 km. It uses a 55kWh lithium battery with sufficient capacity. Daily use with air conditioning and music increases power consumption by about 10%, reducing the actual range to 300-330 km. Surprisingly, highway driving is more efficient—maintaining a steady 60 km/h can nearly match the official range. Multiple factors affect range, such as rapid acceleration and low tire pressure, which can shorten the distance. Regular battery system maintenance is recommended. For charging, a home slow charger takes 10 hours for a full charge, while a public fast charger reaches 80% in 40 minutes. Overall, it's satisfactory for commuting and short trips, but charging stations should be planned in advance for long journeys.

My MG5 can run over 350 km on a full charge, with the official parameter being 400 km under NEDC standards. In daily use with air conditioning and audio system, it's common for the range to drop to 300 km. It charges quickly, with a half-hour fast charge replenishing half the range. Remember to press the accelerator gently to extend the driving range.

Since owning the MG5, its range has truly put my mind at ease. Officially rated at 400 kilometers, my actual city commute ranges between 320 to 350 kilometers—slightly less in heavy traffic, but steady highway driving can reach up to 380. With charging stations plentiful and a full charge achievable overnight at home, I make sure to recharge once the battery drops to 20% to avoid deep discharge damage. Cold weather speeds up range depletion, but wrapping a scarf and pre-warming the car helps mitigate this. Overall, a single charge comfortably covers three to four days of work commutes, proving its practicality, durability, and cost-effectiveness.
