**MG MGS5 64kWh Trophy Long Range Auto 5dr – Road Test Review** In a market packed with soulless crossovers and overpriced electrics, the MG MGS5 64kWh Trophy Long Range Auto emerges as an unassuming hero. At first glance, it’s a family-friendly estate cloaked in conservative lines. But look closer, and you’ll find one of the best-value EV propositions currently on UK roads. Powered by a 64kWh battery and a single front-mounted motor producing 154bhp, the MGS5 delivers a respectable 0–62mph time of 8.3 seconds. But this isn’t about performance theatrics – it’s about range and usability. MG claims up to 280 miles (WLTP), and real-world figures come surprisingly close, thanks to decent efficiency and regenerative braking that actually makes a difference. The Trophy spec piles on the kit: leather-style upholstery, a 360° camera, heated front seats, adaptive cruise control, and a 10.25-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. The ride is supple, and while the steering isn’t dripping with feel, it’s perfectly suited to everyday duties. What seals the deal, though, is space. With a 578-litre boot and generous rear legroom, it’s a proper family workhorse – and one of the few EVs in estate form. No, it’s not thrilling. But the MGS5 doesn’t pretend to be. It’s honest, practical, and astonishingly good value – a sensible choice that makes emotional sense, too. If you thought electric cars had to be expensive to be useful, MG’s latest will make you think again.
