I test-drove an MG5 Exclusive yesterday (and was generally very impressed). However, when I sat in the driver's seat, I immediately noticed that the forward view was obscured by a rather large module at the top centre of the windscreen behind the rear view mirror. I didn't think any more about it and quickly got used to it.
Later, I (and my wife) sat in an Excite, really to compare the seats - she much prefers the fabric to the "plastic!", and I noticed that the forward view was better because this module was not there. The salesman briefly said that it was to house the camera and other electronics, and I thought no more about, especially as he was rather busy with new customers turning up.
However, thinking about it since, I am under the impression that the 5 does not have MgPilot or the other forward sensing stuff, and the brochure (printed May 2021) does not have any information, so just what is in there?
Can anyone shed any light on this please? If it is lane-keep-assist and all the rest, then it might be enough to make me go for the Exclusive - despite the seats!
Many thanks
