MG Motor UK MG5 Estate

The MG5 is one of the cheapest family EVs to lease in the UK. With just two options, a £29,750 Excite and a £32,000 Exclusive, expect to pay around £250 - £375 per month on our best lease deals (contract and option dependent). For those personal or business leasing customers looking for a great BEV deal on a practical car, this is one of the main products we would suggest.

While MG has experienced some significant ups and downs as a vehicle manufacturer, since being taken over by SAIC, the MG group has true stability and consumer confidence. Indeed, their 100% electric estate does not disappoint and both this and the MG ZS, are some of the most popular cars for our older drivers and for those low-mileage customers looking for the best no-deposit special offers.

What makes e-car lease truly different from any other dealership or credit broker is that our website provides you, or the fleet manager, with the tools for assessing the MG5’s suitability as your next new car. Just because the MG5 minimises your company car tax or because this EV is cheap, does not mean that it is right for you. There are important considerations – range, charge speeds, charging times and charge point infrastructure – which should all form part of the decision. And the great news is that our “Living with your …” tools set this out for you on every deal we offer.

While the e-car lease team feature on the leading aggregator partner platforms like AutoLeaseCompare, CarWow, LeaseFetcher and LeaseLoco, not all our offers will be shown. For the very best prices and service head across to our dedicated electric car website. And don’t forget to visit your local MG retailer to trial and review the MG5 in real life. If you are comparing lease v buy with the MG5, ask your dealership for their PCP or Hire Purchase quote and then speak to our team for the contract hire equivalent.

At the time of writing (April 2022) the cheapest MG5 to lease is the electric estate 115kW Excite EV 61kWh 5dr Auto.  Expect to pay around £27,000 - £28,000 for this option or lease for around £250  - £300 per month.

Understanding how far the MG5 can travel on a full charge will be crucial to your decision, particularly for those with high-mileage requirements. When reviewing an EV just ensure that you take into consideration the variances based on temperature, driver style and driving speeds. On this vehicle, in colder climates expect motorway driving to deliver 150 miles and city-driving to deliver 210 miles compared to 190 miles and 320 miles respectively in warmer weather. Be careful about relying on just ONE range with the zero-emission vehicles.

Unfortunately, you cannot tow with an electric MG5, so this is not suitable for those EV customers looking to utilise their caravan or trailer. For vehicles which are not approved to tow, the e-car lease team would recommend that customers look at alternative vehicles.

The MG5 electric has a combustion fuel equivalent of 149 mpg.
