MG Im5 2026

Our most recent review of the 2026 MG Im5 resulted in a score of 7.8 out of 10 for that particular example.

Carsguide Deputy Editor James Cleary had this to say at the time: The MG IM5 Performance is fast, comfortable, quiet and super refined. Putting some minor spec and active safety niggles to one side, it offers the features, tech and price to match it with its well-credentialled and already popular mid-size EV sedan competitors. Is there room for one more? We think there should be.

MG Im5 2026 Accessories

All grades of the IM5 feature a double-glazed panoramic roof, power-adjustable (12-way driver, six-way passenger) heated and ventilated front seats (also heated in the rear), dual-zone climate control, 20-speaker audio, 256 colour ambient lighting, a power tailgate (with hands-free function) and alloy rims. There’s also wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, LED headlights, keyless entry and start, wireless device charging (50W), a 10.5-inch central control screen and a sweeping 26.3-inch upper screen.

MG Im5 2026 Interior

The interior is light and bright thanks to the enormous panoramic sunroof. The curves of the exterior design continue inside with soft-padded surfaces around the dash and doors, but the straight edge came out for the 10.5-inch central media screen and vast 26.3-inch upper display. It has next to no buttons. Even exterior mirror adjustment is directed from the screen to a multi-function steering wheel control.

MG Im5 2026 Engine

The MG IM5 Premium is powered by a 217kW/450Nm electric motor driving the rear wheels only. Also RWD, the mid-grade Platinum ups those outputs to 300kW/500Nm while the all-wheel-drive, dual-motor Performance flagship boasts combined outputs of 572kW/802Nm.

MG Im5 2026 Seats

The MG IM5 is a mid-size, five-seat liftback. The front seats are power-adjustable (12-way driver, six-way passenger) heated and ventilated (also heated in the rear). All seats are trimmed in a soft synthetic leather.

MG Im5 2026 Boot Space

The IM5 is a liftback so the boot aperture is generous and a capacity of 457 litres with the rear seats up is decent for a car of this size. Volume expands to 1290 litres with the rear seats folded and there’s a modest 18-litre ‘frunk’ under the bonnet.

MG Im5 2026 Speed

The MG IM5 Premium is claimed to accelerate from 0–100km/h in 6.8sec with a top speed of 200km/h. The mid-grade Platinum sits at 4.9sec and 220km/h, while the flagship Performance hits 100km/h in just 3.2sec before storming on to a maximum velocity of 268km/h.

MG Im5 2026 Range

The MG IM5 Premium has a claimed (WLTP) range of 490km, rising to 655km for the mid-grade Platinum, dropping to 575 km for the ultra-fast Performance.
