2026 MG S5 EV review
Pros
- Strong on-road behaviour
- Comfortable, good-looking interior
- 62 battery is far better than 49
Cons
- Essence 62 a bit expensive
- MG 4's 77kWh battery would be ace
- Still minor safety gremlins

The MG S5 EV is an electric SUV that builds on MG's growing reputation for accessible battery-powered cars. It targets Australian buyers who want the higher driving position and practicality of an SUV with lower running costs and quiet electric performance. Sitting in a fast-growing part of the market, it is likely to be compared with electric SUVs from BYD, Kia, Hyundai, GWM and Tesla. The S5 EV's appeal is expected to centre on value, usable range and family-friendly packaging. For buyers who like the MG4's affordability but need more space and SUV versatility, the S5 EV adds a logical next step.
