MG’s affordable electric vehicles headline at Auto Express New Car Awards

The Auto Express team has recognised the MG ZS EV as a great value Electric car for people looking to switch to Electric without compromising. The MG ZS EV winning the Award showcases the winning combination of usability, practicality and accessible price behind the entire MG range.

When talking about the win for MG the trusted motoring magazine said: “Few brands offer as much for the money when it comes to fully electric cars as MG. Its MG ZS EV offers a claimed 273 miles of range from its 72.6kWh battery, and with a maximum recharging capability of 100kW giving an 80 per cent top-up in just 42 minutes, there's plenty of flexibility on offer despite the MG's value-focused price; even the Long Range model starts from just £31,495.”

The all-electric MG5 EV also received high praise, with Auto Express saying 'this is a no-nonsense estate car that will keep the family finances firmly in the black', adding that 'few EVs of this size or price can match it for practicality.' 

The judges from Auto Express mentioned the relaxing driving experience offered by the MG5 EV and commented on the unrivalled high level of specification fitted as standard. 

There have been over 8,000 examples of the fully electric estate car sold since November 2020 and MG has just announced a new generation of the MG5 arriving at Chapelhouse soon. The newer version of the MG5 car shares the platform of the current model, whilst offering significant styling and equipment upgrades.

MG Motor UK believes the new MG4 and enhanced MG5 estate will significantly expand the appeal of its already successful range of electric cars.

MG Motor UK's Commercial Director, Guy Pigounakis, commented: “We're proud to be recognised at the prestigious Auto Express New Car Awards. 'Affordable Electric Car of the Year' is a fantastic accolade for the MG ZS EV, and we hope this award will encourage more drivers to appreciate an EV can be affordable, practical and enjoyable.”
