MG 5 electric estate.
MG has announced that it will soon launch a new, compact pure-electric estate in the UK called the MG 5 EV. It’s due to reach UK showrooms later this year, with a maximum claimed range of 214 miles and an expected price-tag of around £25,000 after the government’s plug-in car grant has been applied.

I've just read the reviews. Looks good as a budget or entry level car. At the price it's actually very tempting!

MGM may have pulled a blinder with this car. For companies and business users looking for an electric workhouse it's ideal being cheap, nondescript and practical.

With a range of EV’s at vastly inflated prices, they may well have done. At some point the manufacturers need to make them accessible to the masses.

£25,000 I would rather go buy two more Ford Capri's.
All these new MG's really shouldn't carry the MG badge, but I guess I'm just being an old grump. EV's are still overpriced, wait for Dacia to release their EV next year (2021), affordable for many is the idea. I drive a Dacia Stepway (shame on me), but their first EV will be a mini SUV sized Renault clone, it will certainly put the cat amongst the pigeons in the electric car market. |

It makes you think there is going to be sudden drop in new prices once a few more manufacturers get their act together.
Coupled with new battery technology about to be launched it means today’s EV’s are already out of date or behind the times. That will do used values no favours too. I’ve just seen a very smart Ford Transit 18 plate with 6 seats. Ticks more boxes than the EV at the moment.

I can remember my dad saying much the same when the then new Ford Capri (The car you always promised yourself) appeared in the showroom at Dingles garage in Attleborough. In his broad Norfolk accent "blommin awful thing, looks like some fancy yank car, an you need to lay down to get in it" as he got back into his 1955 Standard 8...lol
