MG S5 EV
The MGS5 EV replaces the old ZS, and it eclipses it in terms of quality and more.
In a low-key sort of way, the MG S5 has snuck in and become MG’s best all-round model yet - since the brand was reinvented by its Chinese owners. Based on the same basic structure as the MG4 hatchback, the S5 looks suitably sleek and neat, and inside it has a very high-quality cabin with - hurrah! - some actual, physical buttons. Space is decent too, and it’s nice to drive. Best of all is that the slightly mild on-paper range figures turn out to be hugely useable in the real world, and it’s excellent value for money.
