The former boasts a WLTP-rated range of up to 340 km, while the higher-spec 62kWh battery delivers an impressive range of approximately 430 km.
For those seeking a luxury ride, the LUX variant only comes with a standard 62kWh battery, offering a WLTP-rated range of 430 km per charge. Rest assured, all MGS5 EV models come equipped with a single motor driving the rear wheels, producing 125kW (168 hp) and a torque of 250Nm.

Fast charging is no issue with the MGS5 EV, thanks to the 7kW AC onboard charger and DC fast charging capabilities. The 49kWh battery supports up to 120 kW DC fast charging, while the 62kWh battery offers a whopping 150 kW. This rapid charging capability ensures swift top-ups, with 0-80% charge achievable in just 26 minutes using the higher-spec battery.
