The MG IM5 75kWh Standard Range arrives with the quiet confidence of a car that knows it has nothing to prove — and that’s very much part of its charm. This is a modern electric saloon that blends sharp design, credible performance and everyday usability into a package that feels thoughtfully engineered rather than showy. With 295 ps on tap, the IM5 delivers brisk, linear acceleration that suits British roads perfectly. It’s quick without being theatrical, refined rather than aggressive, and that restraint makes it all the more satisfying. Power is delivered smoothly through the automatic transmission, while the low-mounted battery gives the car a planted, composed feel through bends and at motorway speeds alike. The 75 kWh battery strikes a sensible balance between range and weight, offering reassuring real-world usability without tipping the scales. It’s the sort of car you can genuinely live with — commuting during the week, longer journeys at the weekend — without constantly thinking about charging. Inside, the IM5 continues the grown-up theme. The cabin is clean, modern and well screwed together, with a clear focus on comfort and technology rather than gimmicks. There’s space for passengers, a decent boot for a saloon, and a calm driving environment that makes long journeys effortless. In short, the MG IM5 Standard Range is a quietly impressive electric saloon: brisk, refined and sensibly specified, proving that MG’s electric ambitions are not just bold, but genuinely compelling.
