How much sophistication do you need from your EV? If you can live with some compromises, then the MG 5 might be a good choice. It’s been around for just over a year, making it the first fully electric estate. For 2021, MG has added a long-range version that offers 250 miles from a full charge of its 57.7kWh battery, up from 214 for the standard model. At a price of just £26,495 after the plug-in car grant for the Excite trim version, or £28,995 for the Exclusive, that’s pretty appealing when Kia wants over £30,000 for its e-Niro, which will do just 180 miles. When you consider that you get a fairly brisk and spacious estate with 464 litres of boot space, a thoroughly usable rear seat and a generous amount of equipment, it almost makes some electric crossovers look a bit silly.
