MG IM5

MG IM5

Irish buyers are hoping the MG IM5 is introduced here, and we can see why.

[Not sold in Ireland at this stage]

MG is branching out from its value-focused models to take on Tesla and even the big German brands. It’s IM sub-brand (it stands for Intelligent Mobility) kicks off with a sleek fastback that, in its ultimate form, produces up to 752hp and has four-wheel drive, although we reckon that the more popular version might be the long-range, rear-wheel-drive version with 408hp and up to 710km of range. Either way, it’s fast and slick, but could do with more driver involvement. Unfortunately for Irish buyers, there’s no word on its arrival here.
