5 Things We Loved About the MG S5 | Top 5 Things

We've recently been spending some time with the MG S5, and while there's plenty to like about it overall, five particular features really stood out. First up is space. For a family SUV, practicality matters, and the S5 delivers with a boot that's bigger than you might expect from an EV. There's also plenty of room in the rear, with enough legroom to keep even taller passengers comfortable. Next is something that sounds surprisingly simple: the powered tailgate. We've tried plenty of powered boots that take what feels like an eternity to open, but the S5's is refreshingly quick. It's a small detail, but exactly the sort of thing you appreciate when you're using the car every day. Number three is the dual phone storage with space for two devices, allowing one person to use the wireless charger while the other can still keep their phone securely stored and within easy reach. We even tried it with different-sized iPhones and both fitted comfortably. The infotainment system also deserves some attention with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, MG includes built-in apps such as Spotify, YouTube and TikTok. Video playback is restricted while you're driving, but when you're parked up, waiting for someone or charging the car, it's a great little addition. And finally, our nuber one is the Piccadilly Blue**. It's becoming something of a signature colour for MG's SUV range, and it really suits the S5. It's bright enough to give the car some personality without becoming too loud or over the top. At Leasing Options, our Top 5 Things series focuses on the features you actually notice — from clever technology and practical touches to those small details that simply make it more enjoyable to live with. 🚗
