This is precisely why I use Android Auto for navigation instead. At least Google updates their maps occasionally!

One in the showroom and one on the forecourt seems to be standard for newly launched MGs.

Coincidentally, I got an email from Everything Electric at lunchtime saying they'll have S5's available for test drives!

See below, screenshot of an email from Everything Electric saying so. (My highlighter)

They do seem to run a couple of weeks behind Electrifying et al & just posted a review of the BYD Sealion 7 (SUV). Maybe this weekend for the S5?

I'd guess it will require the updated hardware from the S5, so current MG4s won't get it.

Nope. They deleted it altogether. The car was supposed to know where you're going! Thankfully, the stalk has been re-added to this year's model (if anyone will still buy the thing!)

I guess it was a reaction to Elon deleting the indicator stalk on the Model 3.

Runs the A/C and/or heater while the car is otherwise off, so your pet won't die of freezing or heatstroke if left inside.

Given that both the 5 & ZS EV have now ended production, I'd say the Affinity site needs updating. Maybe they'll get around to it when the S5 is in showrooms.
