Don’t you pull/fold the rear bench seat forward so you can lay the backs flat??
Nope!
I do recall how several years ago you've been choosing a car for your wife, the choice fell to the VE up ev. Never seen it again anywhere around in your videos :)
08:47 no, it’s 2x USB-A, no USB-C in the front.
Shame that back seats don't fold flat
Might need to buy thr patent design from Chrysler for full fold down seat.
@@user-jh6vt8vx4v or Honda
Theres a workaround you can remove the seat cushion by pulling them off, its a quick connect system no tools required.
@@Icel4nd3r Really? That's interesting, I haven't heard of that before.
Great. Just the review I want to see for this week. Kudos Bjorn
MG need to add Nightpanel - Should be easy with Software - I am sure SAAB wouldn't mind
The back seats bench dont fold to the floor?
You've got some unique content on your channel Bjørn, keep it up!
MG5 is the only EV that is of any use to me, so far, all the others are too tiny, with a tiny boot/trunk that will hardly take any 'stuff'. And Bjorn is the only reviewer who measures length/width/height with a proper device, and doesn't just quote litres - who carries loose litres of liquids about in their car? I have a suitcase that won't fit in some cars!
It’s not liquid liters. It’s measures with boxes that are 20x10x5 centimeter (1 liter). It’s only measured up to the top of the seat back, not to the roof. The measure is defined in ISO3832.
But I agree that the liter measure isn’t worth much, I like the banana measure better. :)
3:16 Did you tried to swing the bottom part first towards the front seats? On some of the cars this works best for a flat cargo space.
Not possible
@@bjornnyland sad but true 🙃
Thank you.
@@bjornnyland actually you can apparently, its reversed, grab the front part where cushion meets the footwell and pull hard upward and toward the boot and you can remove the cushion.
(For your next video) It would be useful to have an old set of golf clubs and see how they fit in.
MG doing very well at rhe moment
I have a Passat GTE variant and I would love to have a proper EV variant but this seems so small inside. I have a baby and 2 dogs usually dogs go travel in the boot with the baby in the backseat on the axkid one 2 seat with the strollers folded and I still have room for 3-4 large bags in the back seats and some room in the boot still. This looks really tight
Good work. You are a legend. But please remember that families are different. Some have teenagers. Put 2 of them 170 cm each at the back seat, drive for 5 hours and ask how comfortable they are. 😮 The back seat is way too low.
The edge on the trunk is called the lip
Nice interior!👍 Tack för visningen🌹
Bjorn, i think you mic was off there right as you saying your closing, but great job anyway man. Thanks.
What's it like with a back seat down as a sleeping space , I'm trying to decide on either an mg5 or mg4 wonder how it would be for sleeping in to
I've considered this too, so far I've seen the seats on the MG5 can fold flat if the seat cushions are moved out of the way (no demo of this being done) but there is a large lip on the back of the seats. It doesn't seem the false floor can be moved up to compensate for this so maybe a custom wood pallet would have to be made to flatten the floor for sleeping (extra points if it's foldable/stowable) or loading washing machines/large furniture easily.
What did you call that plug 0:42? 🤔
Isn't the taycan sport turismo an station wagon?
They say it is but the angle on the rear door suggests that it's more of a hatchback. Which is no bad thing anyway. The Hatchback was a factor in killing off the Estate to some extent, I believe.
Porsche themselves calls it SUV
@@bjornnyland Im talking about the sport turismo, not the cross turismo. Nice video btw.
The new MG5 is so much better looking than the 1st gen we have in the UK.
I'm hopeful my wife will change her ZSEV for a MG4 or the new MG5 estate.
That's a really small boot! We have an Auris and it takes the baby carriage lengthwise and that leaves room for bags too.
Funny thing is that the stroller fits in the back of an old Suzuki Swift but for some reason , car manufacturers have chosen poor designs for the trunks these days
I'm agree the screen is to bright, same issue with MG EHS. 👍🏻
At last a SW model! Can you offer a "working" car? I'm usig a SW patrol car now and I was looking the Nissan NV200 but it has too low charge potential and high noise. Great video and the headlight test was also good. 😁
Hello from Hungary.
Do the seat bases lift up? I remember in old Renault you had to lift the seat base, it would flip forward and allow the back to fold flat.
No
@@bjornnyland ah shit man! 😉
Still way smaller boot than the likes of a Passat Variant, Talisman Grandtour or Superb Combi.
MG, please do a lager Estate car.
Sincerely, a lot of fathers (who don't like SUVs)
Agreed. I have a Superb Estate / Combi & there is nothing in the EV world that can match it in terms of boot space. The Enyaq comes close but no cigar. This facelifted MG5 is now a few years old & due for a replacement soon. Lets hope MG make a bigger estate model on the same platform as the MG4. BTW loads of Taxi drivers use these MG5's in the UK. Affordable, carries 5 people (just) & decent luggage space.
Something worth mentioning is that it is not NCAP tested by MG. They have done it for all other models, so something is fishy with this car.
At 2:13: The "what the heck is this thing" is used for towing this car with another car. There is a place in front of the car (either left or right side) where you can remove a piece of plastic and find a hole where you can screw this mysterious thing in. You are welcome 😉
Lol you must be new here
It's a running gag :) maybe your comment is a second order running gag and I fell for it ;)
Haha
are you saying the front cap isn't a but plug?
I'll be very interested in the 1kkm challenge. 60 ish kwh battery, fairly slow charging but good aero. As a tester you always get the top spec so you haven't got the smaller aero wheels, which would be more efficient. Should beat the fat E-Tron though eh?

How does it cope during winter with degrees minus and snow?
262km of range at 98%battery seems a bit low distance for this family car
So that's basically the Roewe Ei5?
Yes.
I want to like this car. Hell, it looks much better than the pre-facelift model. But it has an awkward aesthetic, the boot doesn't look very big (for a station wagon/estate) and it is very basic. Personally the Niro EV looks a better option.
long people saying hello 6.6
The only other place that uses the terms kers is f1
It’s almost as it’s not really a station wagon. I mean it’s not spacious like for example a Volvo V70.
Why does it have a USB-C socket in the back but only USB-A in the front?? Makes no sense
Hey Bjorn, when iX1 test?
Once it's available.
Hei Bjørn, vet du hva nominell full pack på en model s 75d 2018 mod når den var ny? Prøver å finne ut hvor mye degradasjon jeg har på bilen

@@stefanjepp6612 How do you spell it. I need to start using this word😁
@@bugsygoo schmutzig.
In German we use "sch" which sounds like the English"sh"
All I see is an estate 😉
