    Used MG5 pre-purchase Checklist

    Also make sure the infotainment system is updated to R17. Makes a difference to stability, particularly Bluetooth and Android auto

    Carplay connection with Iphone

    I used a Statik pro360 cable for AA in both my old MG5 SR and now my new Trophy. Always worked fairly well, but had a habit of dropping out, generally at the same moment I was approaching a difficult junction. Finally did what most have done and gone wireless. Now great and reliable; I still...

    Carplay connection with Iphone

    Afraid not, and seems to be as flaky as the previous version

    CCS Charging in Europe PFL SR

    I now have a facelift model, but last year was in France with the earlier SR. I used a number of different chargers without difficulty, including the IE charging network and Ionity

    Question on mg5 tyres

    I have these as well. Was a little disappointed not to get Michelin, especially as I had Cross Climates on my last car. However, they don't seem too bad at the moment

    MG5 Mk 1 v Mk2 - charging & boot size/shape

    I did the same. The mat from my SR fits even though it did not have a two tier boot. The rapid charging speed is the same; it is the AC charging that has increased, from 7kW to 11kW, but only if you also change your charging cable to a 3 phase one

    MG5 FULL SIZE SPARE WHEEL

    It does and I have one. Bought it for my last MG5, I think it is originally VW.

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    This month includes fast 70mph journeys in the UK and about 1200 miles in France, most of which was conducted at 81mph so quite happy with the overall figure. Was sitting at 4.6 mi/kWh before France.

    Power with zero pedal

    Most of these experiences seem to occur whilst braking or going downhill, in the wet or on rough or loose surfaces. I have noticed several times that in such circumstances, if the car detects a loss of braking traction, the regen turns off completely for a short period; the effect feels like...

    Charging in France

    I am currently in France and not having any problems so far. Using Electroverse card, I have used Ionity, Izivia, Shell and Total. Bombing everywhere at 130kph and doing fine!

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    On the ferry. I will be arriving with about 65% so will press on to aire de la Baie de Somme for the Ionity chargers

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    I am off to France next week. Although I have the Tesla update I am struggling to find a way to integrate them into my travel plans. I don't like stopping just to charge and will do it when stopped at services, where there are no open Tesla points. Still, between Bornes Lib and Electroverse, I...

    Visiting France

    Last year I took my MG5 SR to France and used Electroverse almost exclusively. I now have an MG5 Trophy and this year, I have obtained a Bornes Lib RFID card from their website. It's another aggregation card like Electroverse, but on most sites, a little cheaper. For example, at Isvizia at...

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    A month on a mix of rush hour M25 and driving in London; I'm surprised it is so high!

    The Ultimate MG5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

    Reasonable figures for a facelift this month. Largely motorway

    Voice Commands Not Working

    I don't know about the ZS, but it certainly has no function on the MG5 and I have owned both types. Is yours the Trophy Connect model, by any chance? From the MG website: "One of the functions we like to highlight is voice control. With the exception of the MG iSMART Lite version – which...

    Drink / Drive over the limit

    This is wrong, I'm afraid. You can be arrested and charged in such circumstances. However, the Crown have to prove an intention to 'permanently deprive' , so in practice, they wait until you have passed the checkout to make this easier

    Tesla Supercharger Issue MG5 LR

    My 2024 MG5 needed the update before it would charge on Tesla. Unless they have done it without asking before you collected it (doubtful) it may not work.

    Voice Commands Not Working

    The voice commands do not activate anything on the car. They are intended to work when your phone is connected and allows you to interact with it.
