As advice goes, I've always 設立する 'Keep it simple, stupid' to have 広大な／多数の／重要な 長所. And the practical new five-seater MG5 EV all-electric 広い地所 has 明確に been designed with this maxim in mind.

For while cars are becoming ますます 複雑にするd, the new 無-放出／発行s MG5 really is simple to 運動. Its 支援する-to-basics approach means its 限られた／立憲的な but perfectly 適する number of 利用できる 機能（する）／行事s are simple to use.

There are just two 削減する 選択s. I drove the 範囲-topping トロフィー, riding on 17 in wheels, which costs £33,495 ― £2,500 more than the SE 削減する at £30,995.

The 支配（する）／統制するs are straightforward and there's a 10.25 in widescreen infotainment 審査する on the dashboard, along with a 7 in 数字表示式の driver 陳列する，発揮する behind the steering wheel.

It's a surprisingly sprightly mover, 特に in 'sport' 方式, which joins '慰安' and 'eco', and is 始める，決める by the flick of a switch. An 平易な-to-operate dial 始める，決めるs 運動 and 逆転する.

Both 見解／翻訳／版s are 力／強力にするd by a 115 kW electric モーター, 同等（の） to 156 hp, enabling きびきびした acceleration from 残り／休憩（する） to 30 mph in 3.2 seconds and up to 62 mph in a swift 7.7 seconds.

Both also have 'long-範囲' 殴打／砲列 capacity of 61.1 kWh (of which 57.4 kWh is useable); the トロフィー 削減する's 範囲 of 235 miles is 15 miles いっそう少なく than the lower-specced SE. There's plenty of 柔軟な 広い地所-car boot space which 拡大するs from 479 litres with all the seats up, to 1,367 litres with the 後部 seats 倍のd 負かす／撃墜する.

Driver 援助 and safety features 含む adaptive 巡航する 支配（する）／統制する with traffic-jam 補助装置; active 緊急 ブレーキing with 歩行者 and bicycle （犯罪，病気などの）発見; 小道／航路-keeping 援助 and 速度(を上げる）-限界 調印する （犯罪，病気などの）発見. 非難する 経由で a plug-in port in the 前線 取調べ／厳しく尋問する is straightforward and takes around ten hours ― or 夜通し ― on a 7kw AC 国内の 塀で囲む charger.

非難する to 80 per cent will take between 35 minutes on a high 力／強力にする 150kW charger (of which there are precious few) or 61 minutes on a 50kW 見解／翻訳／版.

My トロフィー 見解／翻訳／版 with leather-style perforated upholstery and pretty decent dashboard and door styling had a 360-degree parking camera which （機の）カム in very handy when doing a tight manoeuvre, 同様に as heated 前線 seats, 自動車 空気／公表する 条件ing, electrically 倍のing heated door mirrors, 後部 privacy glass and an 自動車-dimming 後部 見解（をとる） mirror.

同様に 昇格d styling and a choice of six colours, drivers of the new MG5 EV also now have 接近 to a new iSmart app which 許すs you to schedule 殴打／砲列 非難する (to take advantage of cheaper 関税s), pre-heat or 冷静な／正味の the car before you get in, to get online 経由で hot-位置／汚点／見つけ出すs, receive over the 空気／公表する updates.

All cars come with a 6-（衆議院の）議長 音声部の system, Apple Car Play and Android 自動車 as 基準, 同様に as a 7-year/80,000 mile fully-transferable warranty.

With Crufts dog show starting next week there's plenty of room for dogs too.

The first 世代 MG5 model which the new car 取って代わるs was the fifth best-selling electric 乗り物 in 2022.

The classic MG marque, 設立するd in the 1920s and now Chinese owned, 申し込む／申し出s affordable electric cars that won't break the bank. And though built abroad, they're designed in Marylebone, London.

'包括的な 昇格' for?Volkswagen ID.3
