Lease an MG electric car and save hundreds through Salary Sacrifice
MG is a British brand that began in the 1920s as a sports car manufacturer, best known for its two-seater cars, although it also produced saloons and coupés. The first electric MG, the eZS—known outside of China as the ZS EV—was announced at the 2018 Guangzhou Auto Show in November. Exports to the UK and Europe as the MG ZS EV began in 2019.
The range of electric MGs is expanding, from the new MG4 fully-electric hatchback to the MG5 EV Long Range. The popularity of electric cars is increasing, with 1 in 5 new cars sold in the UK being electric. This is due to their growing affordability, the wider availability of charging stations, and greater awareness of the environmental impact of petrol and diesel cars. As the UK seeks more sustainable energy sources, EVs are set to become even more popular as demand grows and technology improves.
MG’s European aim was to make “electric mobility accessible to drivers who are young at heart and ready to embrace a new electric lifestyle”, with their focus being “to offer smart, practical, safe and technologically advanced cars.” This aligns with our mission at The Electric Car Scheme. We want to support more people through the transition to net zero by making it easy, affordable and simple for customers to say “yes” to switching to an electric car. Salary sacrifice makes this possible, allowing employees to save 30-60% on any electric car by reducing their salary in exchange for an electric car as a benefit. Every company in the UK can help their employees on their journey to net zero by offering The Electric Car Scheme as an employee benefit. It comes at no cost to the employer to set up and run.
Let’s explore the range of electric MG’s available to lease from The Electric Car Scheme, looking specifically at performance, interiors and specifications.
MG Cyberster
The MG Cyberster is now available to lease from government salary sacrifice schemes like The Electric Car Scheme. It is available from August 2024, but you can order it now! MG claims it blends its ‘iconic heritage with the vigour of modern electric innovation.’ The Cyberster has sleek lines and an aerodynamic silhouette.
Electric Cyberster: The stats
Below shows the battery size, maximum power, range and 0-62mph time. It can generate up to 375kW of power which is around 496hp and it is capable of 0-62mph in 3.2 seconds. It has been designed to compete with the BMW Z4 or a more powerful Mazda MX-5.
| Drivetrain | Battery Size | Powertrain | Range | 0-62mph | Top speed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Single Motor | 77kWh | 250kW | 316 miles | 5 seconds | 121mph |
| Dual Motor | 77kWh | 375kW | 276 miles | 3.2 seconds | 125mph |
As you can see above, there are two motor options to choose from: single and dual. There are few aesthetic differences between the two drivetrains, aside from the size of the wheels. The dual-motor, all-wheel-drive version will cost an additional £5,000, primarily due to the increased power. Here’s what you can expect:
Single Motor
19-inch alloy wheels (the dual motor version gets 20-inch alloy wheels),
Scissor opening doors,
Fully electric hood,
Launch control,
7-inch touch screen,
Wraparound 3-screen cockpit,
Android Auto and Apple Carplay,
8-speaker BOSE audio system,
Rear-wheel drive.
How much is the MG Cyberster?
The Cyberster has an RRP range of £54,971 to £59,971. The lower end is for the entry-level Trophy, while the latter price is for the performance GT version. As mentioned earlier, the main difference between the two is the available power and all-wheel drive; the equipment levels are identical for both trim levels.
The Cyberster is now available to lease from The Electric Car Scheme, meaning you could save 30-60% on the price of this car every month by paying from your pre-tax salary! The savings come from your national insurance contributions and income tax savings - overall, making EVs more affordable and therefore appealing to the everyday person.
What’s the Cyberster like to drive?
The MG Cyberster is composed and relaxing to drive around town. It features the instant response of electric motors and near-silent propulsion, along with a one-pedal mode for easier traffic navigation. The Cyberster handles bumps well at lower speeds, though large speed bumps can occasionally hit the bottom of the car. The battery pack beneath the car results in a higher seating position, which enhances forward visibility due to the low dashboard but compromises rear visibility. However, standard parking sensors and a 360-degree reversing camera assist in tight spots.
On the motorway, the MG Cyberster offers a comfortable ride with its soft seat upholstery and relatively spacious cabin, making long distances manageable. It can be somewhat noisy at 70 mph due to wind and road noise typical of a convertible, but it remains bearable. Standard features include MG Pilot, which provides lane-keeping assistance and blind spot detection, along with adaptive cruise control to maintain speed and distance to the car in front.
On country lanes, the MG Cyberster, especially the GT model, offers significant grip but struggles with bumpy roads at speed. The steering provides limited feedback. It is more enjoyable to drive at a moderate pace, allowing drivers to appreciate the scenery. For high-performance driving on twisty roads, a Porsche 718 Boxster or its upcoming electric version is a better choice.
Inside the MG Cyberster
The Cyberster is a two-seater, which means space is naturally limited, but there is a storage shelf and nets to hold any valuables. The boot can hold 249 litres, which is big enough to hold a small weekly shop.
Overall, the interior quality of the MG Cyberster is impressive and a significant improvement from previous MG models. The dashboard materials and seat upholstery are appropriately refined for the price, and the design is simple with a touch of classic roadster style.
The ‘wraparound three screens’ have a clear resolution and do respond quickly but some may find the layout difficult. The 10.3-inch instrument display is clear but the two 7.0-inch displays are partially obscured by the steering wheel.
Lease the Cyberster from The Electric Car Scheme
As aforementioned, you can salary sacrifice the Cyberster from The Electric Car Scheme and save thousands over the cost of your lease. The following quote is based on a 40% taxpayer who wants to lease the Cyberster for 3 years and travel 10,000 miles per annum. On that assumption, they would save £505 on income tax and £25 on national insurance contributions. This takes the lease cost down from £1,263 to £793 per month!
As an employee using the scheme, you will have peace of mind that The Electric Car Scheme has the best prices on the market, unrivalled risk protection and a trusted 5* service. From a compani’s perspective, an EV salary sacrifice scheme is a great way to show you value your employees and boost retention!
Companies and employees shouldn't have to worry about extra fees if their electric car needs to be returned early due to unforeseen circumstances. That's why our Complete Risk Protection offering is included to give peace of mind to companies supplying the benefit and those employees who use The Electric Car Scheme.
MG4 EV
These images are sourced from: 1. https://www.express.co.uk/life-style/cars/1842181/best-new-cars-2024-mg-ferrari-bmw-honda 2. https://www.gridserve.com/electric-leasing/cars/mg-motor-uk/mg4/review
The MG4 is MG’s first fully-electric hatchback car, first released in June 2022. It has an estimated WTLP 323-mile range and two battery options, the standard features include a 10.25” colour touchscreen with Apple Carplay and Android Auto.
MG4 EV Performance
There are five models of the MG4 EV: SE EV, SE EV Long Range, Trophy EV Long Range, and Trophy EV Extended Range. This spans two trim levels and three different battery sizes - there is also a separate high-performance model XPOWER, which we’ll discuss in more detail later.
Starting with the SE EV which can achieve 218 miles and topped by the Trophy EV Extended Range which has a 77kWh battery and can achieve 323 miles on a single charge. Most models can achieve 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds, with the Trophy EV Extended Range achieving this in 6.5 seconds.
The MG4 has a RRP range of £26,995 to £36,495 which undercuts competitors like the Volkswagen ID.3, Cupra Born and BYD Dolphin.
| Model | Battery Size | 0-62mph | Range | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SE EV | 51kWh | 7.7 seconds | 218 miles | £261 |
| SE EV Long Range | 64kWh | 7.9 seconds | 281 miles | £278 |
| Trophy EV Long Range | 64kWh | 7.9 seconds | 270 miles | £305 |
| Trophy EV Extended Range | 77kWh | 6.5 seconds | 323 miles | £348 |
| EV XPOWER | 64kWh | 3.8 seconds | 239 miles | £330 |
This table shows the battery size, 0-62mph, range and cost per month if you were to salary sacrifice the Kia Niro EV from The Electric Car Scheme if you’re a 40% taxpayer, based on the lease agreements of 10,000 miles per annum and a three-year lease. You can see a breakdown of how this is calculated below.
What’s the MG4 EV like to drive?
The MG4 EV is very comfortable to drive, smoothing out any bumps in the road and speed bumps, making the driving experience easy. The motors are responsive and the steering is light, giving it an agile feel. It also has several different steering settings in the menu, so you can adjust it to best suit you. With a turning circle of 10.7 meters, navigating through busy towns or cities is easy, especially with good forward visibility—making it ideal for urban driving.
Unlike most electric cars that come to a complete stop if you lift your foot off the acceleration pedal due to regenerative braking, the MG4 does not, which can be quite disappointing and requires adjustment if you’re used to that feature. Additionally, the MG4 lacks good rear visibility, making it difficult to see what’s around you when looking over your shoulder.
On motorways, it can easily accelerate quickly, and the soft suspension makes it comfortable for long journeys as a driver or passenger. However, you will notice wind and tyre noise on larger roads, partially due to the lack of engine noise to mask it. The light steering, useful around towns, is less welcome at high speeds, but you can adjust this in the vehicle settings.
The MG4 impresses on country lanes, especially around corners where the soft suspension is advantageous. The car doesn’t lean too much, making it feel well-balanced, so you can focus on your speed and agility.
Space inside the MG4 EV
The images were sourced from: 1. https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/mg/4-ev-hatchback/ 2. https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/news/article/mg4-ev-cheapest-electric-car-uk 3. https://www.parkers.co.uk/mg/mg4/review/interior/
As mentioned previously, the MG4 EV is a comfortable car to drive, with electrically operated seats and steering wheel adjustability for the driver. There is plenty of space, including a large bin beneath the armrest, a shallow space in the centre console, and a phone charging pad behind the gear selection dial. The door bins are large, and there is a felt-lined glasses box, a good-sized glovebox, and cupholders.
In the back, subtle cutouts in the roof provide ample headroom, so even the tallest passengers should be comfortable. Foot space is good, but it can be difficult to get your feet underneath the seat in front of you, which can make longer journeys uncomfortable due to a lack of thigh support. Three adults in the back will find shoulder space tight. The rear door bins are smaller, and there is only one USB port, but there are mobile phone holders in the back of the front seats, which is a nice touch.
The MG4 has a boot capacity of 363 litres, which is decent but less than some competitors like the ID.3's 385-litre boot. There is only one tie-down hook and no 12V charge slot, but you can store the charging cables beneath the boot floor, preserving your cargo space. Folding down the back seats creates a flat space, making it easy to push items across, which is very handy. Unfortunately, the MG4 does not have any storage space in the front of the car (where the engine usually is), but this isn't a deal breaker since competitor cars lack this feature as well.
Interior and infotainment details

This image is sourced from: https://www.fleetnews.co.uk/cars/reviews/mg-4
When inside the cabin, you will initially notice the 10.25-inch infotainment screen on top of the dashboard and the premium feel of the materials throughout the MG4 EV. The infotainment graphics seem slightly dated and the screen can have a lag sometimes. It is important to note that you only get the sat nav on the top-spec Trophy model, however, you can use Apple Carplay and Android Auto included as standard where you can use sat nav. There are a couple of physical buttons below the screen but the climate functions and drive mode controls are buried in the menus of the infotainment system, which can be fiddly to use on the move.
The digital driver display has a very clear display and lots of customisation options, so you can use wheel-mounted buttons to show the most relevant information to you, which is a nice touch. There is also a storage tray for your phone that sits above the USB ports, again, a nice touch.
Salary sacrifice an MG4 EV
At The Electric Car Scheme, employees can save between 30 and 60% on any electric car by sacrificing their salary before tax. This allows you to save on income tax and national insurance. We offer new and used MG4s to lease - this is now the cheapest way to lease an electric car. Our mission, at The Electric Car Scheme, is to make switching to an electric car cheaper and easier than any other option. Used car salary sacrifice makes this possible, by allowing employees to save 30-60% on any used electric car by reducing their salary.
The pricing in the tables has been taken from our quote tool, which you can customise based on your salary and the lease terms to suit you!
It is important to note that our used car offerings change frequently and this table is just an example of how much a used MG4 EV could cost you. Our used cars are subject to availability. You can learn more about used cars at The Electric Car Scheme here.
MG4 EV XPOWER
The above images are sourced from: 1. https://www.topgear.com/car-news/electric/429bhp-mg4-xpower-wants-usher-new-era-hot-hatches 2. https://www.emgmotorgroup.com/blog/mg4-ev-xpower-review
The MG4 EV XPOWER has been branded by MG as the first of the next generation of high-performance hatchbacks. It has a 64kWh battery which produces a maximum of 435PS, the equivalent to 320kW, and can achieve 0-62mph in 3.8 seconds.
It also introduces a brand-new all-wheel drive system, as well as enhanced brakes and launch control, which has been designed to improve traction, stability and safety with active braking inside the wheels. It also includes a track mode display which features data analysing performance, power distribution, G-force, steering angle and throttle. The XPOWER is available in seven colours: Artic White, Holborn Blue, Black Pearl, Camden Grey, Volcano Orange, Dynamic Red and Racing Green.
MG4 EV XPOWER performance
This image is sourced from: https://ev-database.org/imp/car/1944/MG-MG4-Electric-XPOWER
Much like the normal MG EV, the XPOWER is easy to drive around town, and you can adjust the regenerative braking settings so you can come to a complete stop just by lifting your foot off the acceleration pedal. This makes slow-speed traffic easier to navigate. Visibility is good overall, and blind spot monitoring is available to help you avoid missing cars, bikes, or other traffic. The turning circle is on the larger side, at 11.7 meters, and the steering is not as soft as the MG EV. However, it is still a pleasure to drive and easy to manoeuvre around town.
On the motorway, the XPOWER feels at ease with quick acceleration due to the dual motors, regardless of the mode you’re in. In sport mode, this is especially impressive. Wind and tyre noise is noticeable because there is no engine to mask it, but it shouldn't be bothersome. Like any electric car, efficiency on the motorway takes a hit, meaning the WLTP range of 239 miles does drop, so make sure to factor this into your longer journeys.
The XPOWER handles country lanes well, especially with the firm suspension, which reduces body roll when tackling corners. However, this does mean it’s not the most comfortable car for dealing with potholes or bumps in the road.
Space inside the MG EV XPOWER

Similarly to the MG4 EV, those in the front have a lot of room with electronically adjustable leather seats and a steering column which offers rake and reach adjustment. The surfaces inside the cabin are all dark, but large windows make the cabin feel bright and airy - giving the illusion that it is bigger inside than it is. There is plenty of storage, with a wireless charging pad for your phone, cupholders and a compartment with a sliding cover as well as space underneath the armrest.
In the back, the space is good, although taller passengers may find the headroom tight. There is also a good amount of legroom, along with a flat floor which means you have more than enough room for back seat passengers to stretch their legs.
The boot has the capacity to hold 363 litres, which is big enough for most, but you will be able to find other high-powered EVs of a similar size that offer more room - like the Volkswagen ID.3 or Cupra Born.
Interior and infotainment details
As mentioned earlier, the interior of the MG XPOWER is very dark due to grey and black surfaces with small touches of red. The higher levels of the cabin are covered in soft-to-touch materials that feel nicer than some of the scratchier materials you feel occasionally in the cabin. There is a leather steering wheel and two-star buttons on the wheel, which allows you to choose to switch between drive and brake regeneration.
The centre-piece of the cabin is the 10.25-inch infotainment screen, which has automatic day and night modes that switch like on a smartphone. The graphics are generally good and you can use the toggles on the steering wheel to navigate your way through the driver’s display.
The images above are sourced from 1. https://www.selectcarleasing.co.uk/car-leasing/reviews/mg-motor-uk/mg4-ev-xpower and 2. https://www.parks.uk.com/mg/new-cars/mg4ev-xpower/
Lease a MG4 XPOWER from The Electric Car Scheme
The XPOWER is available to salary sacrifice for as little as £330 per month through The Electric Car Scheme. You would save £201 in income tax savings and £10 in national insurance savings. There is a small price to pay for the average benefit-in-kind tax, which is £38 per month. Overall, you would be saving £211 every month!
MG ZS EV
MG ZS EV is an electric SUV that can achieve up to 273 miles of range, and if you’re using a 100kW public rapid charger it would take 42 minutes to charge from 10 to 80%. Its main competitors include the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Kia Niro EV - both of which are well-established at the affordable end of the electric car market. The ZS has had some tweaks made to the design, with a blanked-out grille and LED headlights as external changes and an improved interior design, with the main addition being the 10.1-inch infotainment touchscreen that has updated software. A 7.0-inch driver display has also been added that offers efficiency and safety information.
There are two battery options available: the 51kWh Standard Range and the 72kWh Long Range which offer 198 and 273 miles respectively. The Long Range version is expected to achieve 240 miles if you use it across multiple conditions and in all three driving modes available: Eco, Normal and Sport. If you leave it in normal mode, you will be able to achieve closer to the WTLP range of 273 miles. The RRP range for the ZS is between £30,495 and £35,495.
EV salary sacrifice schemes, like The Electric Car Scheme, can save employees hundreds per month on income tax and national insurance savings and as you can see in the table below, the entry-level SE EV would cost a 40% taxpayer £280 to lease per month.
| Model | Battery Size | 0-62 mph | Range | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SE EV | 51kWh | 8.2 seconds | 198 miles | £280 |
| SE EV Long Range | 73kWh | 8.4 seconds | 273 miles | £291 |
| Trophy EV | 51kWh | 8.2 seconds | 198 miles | £293 |
| Trophy EV Long Range | 73kWh | 8.4 seconds | 273 miles | £303 |
MG ZS EV Performance
Much like the other models mentioned in this blog so far, the story in terms of the MG ZS’ performance doesn’t differ that much from the MG4. The light steering helps you to manoeuvre through traffic and the suspension protects you from bumps in the road. It comes with a battery recovery setting, so you can control how much the car slows down to recharge.
On the motorway, you will notice the tyre and wind noise at higher speeds and the roof rails on Trophy models whistle at high speeds. Overall, it is comfortable for all passengers, especially because of the 17-inch aerodynamic wheels. There is also the MG Pilot Advanced Driver Assistance System to make driving even easier, which includes the following:
Active emergency braking with pedestrian and bicycle detection,
Lane keep assist with lane departure warning system,
Traffic jam assist,
Intelligent speed limit assist,
Intelligent high beam assist,
Adaptive cruise control.
On country lanes the MG ZS feels stable and comfortable, handling corners well at higher speeds. The suspension does become stiff, which is good for reducing body roll, but it does mean the battery drains quickly.

There is a good amount of headroom when sitting in the front of the MG ZS, due to its shape, and all passengers are able to stretch their legs - even those in the back! There is a good amount of storage space throughout the cabin with cubby holes and large door bins, there is also a wireless charging pad for your phone and cup holders and a storage compartment under your armrest,
The roof slopes slightly at the back, making it difficult for taller passengers to fit comfortably, especially with the sunroof fitted. The batteries are mounted under the floor which means the seats feel quite high but this doesn’t restrict legroom! There are useful seat pockets, door bins and cupholders in the middle armrest. There are also two USB-C sockets in the back, so you don’t have to worry about your phone or tablets running out on longer journeys.
The MG ZS has the largest boot of all models mentioned so far at 480 litres. This is five litres less than the boot in the Kia Niro EV and is better than the Kona by 120 litres. It has a variable boot floor with space to store your charging cables. If you fold the rear seats down you have 1,100 litres of space, which is more than enough for most, but it is important to note that the seats don’t fold completely flat.
Interior and infotainment details
This image has been sourced from: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/mg-motor-uk/zs-ev/driving
The ZS interior features leather and carbon fibre-effect upholstery throughout. In the top-spec Trophy version, you have contrast stitching against the black leather, which is a nice touch. Much like the XPOWER, there is not a great deal of colour in the cabin but the panoramic roof does bring some light in.
MG has re-imagined its infotainment system and it is featured in the MG ZS. As standard in most EVs, Apple Carplay and Android Auto are available, but even if you don't want to use them, the setup works smoothly. In the Trophy version, the iSmart system alerts you with live services, like weather and traffic announcements. You can also pre-heat your car and check your battery levels through the app.
Save hundreds on an MG ZS EV with The Electric Car Scheme
If your company offers The Electric Car Scheme as an employee benefit, you could lease the entry level SE EV from £292 per month.
You would have to pay a small amount of benefit-in-kind tax - this is otherwise known as “the company car tax” and is calculated based on three factors. First, consider the level of CO2 emissions produced by a car, of which an electric vehicle will have none, as it doesn’t produce any emissions. Secondly, assess the P11D value of the car, which represents its on-road price. Third, take into account your personal tax bracket. You can learn more about BiK tax by visiting our blog.
We have also launched our used car offering to those signed up to The Electric Car Scheme to make EVs more accessible and affordable. You can browse our quote tool and see the range of cars we have available to lease… including MG ZS, where you could pay 40% less than a new car.
MG5 EV Long Range
This image has been sourced from: https://www.wilsons.co.uk/mg/showroom/new/
The MG5 EV Long Range is the second generation of MG’s electric estate car. It has a range of 250 miles and offers up to 1,367 litres of boot capacity. The MG5 Long Range features a 10.25-inch colour touchscreen, the iSMART user app for monitoring the vehicle and scheduling charging, and a 360-degree parking camera for the top-spec model. MG markets this car as “the practical, affordable and efficient electric estate car.” It also has vehicle-to-load charging capabilities, allowing you to charge or power other electric items using the car’s battery pack.
The MG5 has a RRP range of £30,995 to £33,495. You’ll be glad to know it is available to salary sacrifice from The Electric Car Scheme. As you can see in the table below, the performance between both MG5 models (Trophy EV Long Range and SE EV Long Range) does not differ. The battery sizes are the same at 61kWh, 0-62mph is the same (achieving 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds) and the range only differs by 5 miles.
| Model | Battery Size | 0-62mph | Range | Cost per month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Trophy EV Long Range | 61kWh | 8.3 seconds | 255 miles | £310 |
| SE EV Long Range | 61kWh | 8.3 seconds | 250 miles | £412 |
MG5 EV performance
This image has been sourced from: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/mg-motor-uk/5-ev
Around towns and cities the MG5 performs well, it feels smooth to drive, visibility is good and it’s relatively easy to navigate through tight streets and in traffic. It soaks up bumps and potholes easily, making it comfortable to drive overall. Unlike some other MG models, it doesn’t have one pedal driving, so although you can slow the car by taking your foot off the accelerator, you will have to use the brakes to come to a complete stop instead of letting the regenerative braking take over. As mentioned, visibility is decent and you don’t get big blind spots but it may be important to note that the back window is quite small. You do get reversing cameras and sensors which help daily.
On the motorway, the MG5 continues to be comfortable due to the suspension. Overtaking and accelerating is very easy because it is quick off the mark. Much like the MG ZS, the one downfall of motorway driving in the MG5 is the wind and tyre noise that is evident in the cabin when travelling at higher speeds.
On country lanes, the MG5 handles itself well. Leaving it in normal mode as opposed to sport means the car feels stable, whereas if you put it into sport mode, the steering feels heavier.
Space inside the MG5
Front passengers and the driver of the MG5 will have plenty of space, with a large glovebox and enough door compartments to store all of your stuff in. There are two USB charging points underneath the central screen with a shelf to hold your phone, similar to the other models listed in this blog. The one downside to this is that there is a high floor, which means your knees sit higher and it’s more difficult to stretch your legs.
In the back seats, there is a good amount of leg and headroom, but the issue of the high floor does continue through the cabin. Again, there’s a central armrest that folds down to reveal cupholders, two USB ports and large door bins. It is also very easy to fit a baby seat in the back.
As mentioned previously, the MG5 has a 580-litre boot, which is bigger than most. The MG5 wins this battle in comparison to its competitors, the Nissan Leaf has 435 litres of boot space and the Volkswagen ID.3 has 385 litres - so the MG5 is considerably better. However, when you fold the rear seats it isn’t as impressive, you only get 1,367 litres, but this should be enough for most people. This is because you can’t fold the seats until they’re flat, so there is a slope when pushing bigger items through.
Interior and infotainment details
This image has been sourced from: https://www.topgear.com/car-reviews/mg-motor-uk/5-ev/buying
At the centre of the cabin, there is a 10.25-inch display which looks and feels modern - the graphics are crisp and it is very responsive. It has buttons, making it easy to navigate whilst driving even if it is less appealing to the eye. There is also a 7.0-inch digital dashboard which sits in front of the driver. As standard, you do get Apple Carplay and Apple Android, which is to be expected.
Since the 2022 update, the MG5 cabin looks more modern and is generally nicer to sit in. The quality of the materials in the MG5 are generally good, but you can find some plastics that are prone to scratching. You do get fabric seats in the standard version and there is perforated synthetic leather upholstery on Trophy models.
