MG5 EV Crowned Best Car for Dog Owners
The all-electric MG5 EV has been voted the Best Car for Dog owners in the sixth annual Auto Trader New Car Awards 2022.
The MG5 EV collected its award and drew praise for its space and practicality, beating Toyota and Peugeot for the final spot.
Erin Baker, Auto Trader's Editorial Director, said: “When it comes to the best car for dogs, consumers valued space, comfort and ease of use for transporting their four-legged friends,”
This win comes after 156,500 genuine car owners who have brought, driven and lived with their new car voted across 19 categories according to a range of lifestyle factors.
Baker explained: “The Auto Trader New Car Awards recognise the brands and cars that are doing it right in the eyes of those whose opinions matter most: consumers. The awards are now in their sixth year and we had input from over 156,500 consumers telling us what they thought about all aspects of owning and driving a car.
She continued, “they prove how manufacturers are taking consumers' needs into consideration and innovating to bring a great and wide choice to market. MG, and all of this year's winners, are incredibly well-deserving.”
The win comes as no surprise to Oscar, Chapelhouse MG Wigan's favourite Golden Retriever who is frequently driven around by his owner in his own MG5 EV.
When asked to comment, Oscar had this to say: "Woof Woof Woof."
Supported by tail wags, we take this as a very positive review!
The MG5 EV offers up to 250 miles of range on a single charge and its highly practical estate design offers 578 litres of storage space, which rises to 1,456 litres with the rear seats down, making it great to fit a doggy hammock and a pair of wellies!
While SUVs are growing in popularity, such as the MG HS that won Best New Car for City Drivers, estates are a popular choice for dog owners due to the space offered and ride height. Estate cars are lower to the ground, making it easier and safer for your dog to jump in and out.
The MG5 EV also comes with loads of standard tech, including adaptive cruise control, automatic headlights, a rear parking camera, and a state-of-the-art infotainment system with both Apple CarPlay® and Android Auto™, giving you and your furry companion everything you need to enjoy the journey.
Guy Pigounakis, Commercial Director at MG Motor UK, said that the feedback from customers is what matters most to MG so he was delighted to hear the MG HS and MG5 gain such positive appreciation from the people who drive them every day.
He said, “their comments and these awards reinforce our commitment to offering exceptional value, innovative engineering, and class-leading warranty support, with an ever-expanding range of models that are making EVs affordable for everyone.”
The all-electric MG5 EV starts from just £30,995 and comes with a comprehensive 7-year warranty as standard.
