MG expands its European range with the 100% electric MG5 station wagon
- In 2021, the Chinese manufacturer MG (ex-British brand acquired by SAIC in 2006) sold a volume of 50,000 cars in Europe, including 30,000 in the United Kingdom, its historic market. MG is already the biggest importer of cars from China, with its ZS (100% electric), EHS (plug-in hybrid) and Marvel R (100% electric) models. Remember that the Marvel R comes from the Roewe range (the former Rover) which is part of the same Chinese group (SAIC) as MG, hence the letter R affixed to its name. MG is expanding its European range in 2022 by introducing the 100% electric MG5 station wagon to this market, currently distributed only in the United Kingdom (5,000 sales in 2021).
- The MG5 station wagon is a C-segment model, a direct competitor to the British-made Toyota Corolla station wagon. 4.60 m long, it is marketed at a price of between 32,500 and 37,000 euros, the price of a Renault Zoe.
- The new model is offered with a choice of 50 kWh or 61 kWh battery, which allows a range of 320 km or 400 km depending on the WLTP cycle, thanks to a 156 hp or 177 hp electric motor.
- According to Inovev, the MG5 station wagon could sell 10,000 copies per year in Europe from 2023.
- It is instructive to observe on the graph the periodicity of MG deliveries in Europe, a little on the Tesla model. Indeed, MG deliveries peak in March, June and September each year.
- Inovev does not see any industrial establishment of MG in Europe by 2025.
