The MG5 is the budget estate nobody talks about enough — dull to look at, useful to live with, and often cheaper than hatch rivals with similar range. If you need boot space without SUV height, it deserves a look. We list it from £16,995 (~250 miles in our catalog). Off-peak home charging lands around 1.9p per mile in our sums — run your reg through the calculator to see if that beats what you drive today.
Indicative price from £16,995. Catalog range ~250 miles. Off-peak home charging from about 1.9p per mile in our model.
We use £16,995 as a used starting point in the catalog — what you will actually pay depends on mileage, spec, and whether you buy from a dealer, a broker, or a tired private seller on a rainy Tuesday. Partner links show live stock; our number is for comparison.
We model ~250 miles for side-by-side running costs. Your real figure will be lower at 70 mph, lower still in winter, and higher if you mostly potter around town. Treat it as a benchmark, not a guarantee.
