MG Australia cuts back 2025 MG 5 range
The 2025 MG 5 will be offered in a single, more expensive model grade following the introduction of key safety technologies which helped it score a higher three-star ANCAP safety rating earlier this month. For the 2025 model year, the MG 5 small sedan will be sold exclusively in Essence trim, with the previous entry-level Vibe variant now dropped from the lineup. That increases the MG 5's admission price to $32,990 drive-away, which is up by more than $8000 following the discontinuation of the previous Vibe at $24,888 drive-away, and a $4000 price hike for the Essence, which was previously priced at $28,990 drive-away. Hundred of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. As a result, the simplified single-variant MG 5 range is now positioned much more closely to small sedans from Korea and Japan, including the Hyundai i30 (from $29,000 before on-road costs), Kia K4 (from $30,590 plus on-roads), Mazda 3 sedan (from $31,310 plus on-roads) and Toyota Corolla (from $32,320 plus on-roads). New safety functions for the 2025 MG 5 Essence include lane keep assist, emergency lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control and intelligent cruise assist. Seatbelt pretensioners for all five seats including a three-point centre rear seatbelt, plus a seatbelt warning and reminder have also been added, along with whiplash-resistant front and rear seats. The safety updates bring the MG 5 Essence a fresh three-star ANCAP safety rating dated June 2025. In August 2023, the MG 5 was one of three models to receive a shock zero-star rating from the safety body, the others being the Mahindra Scorpio large SUV and the no-longer-on-sale Mitsubishi Express van. MG Australia has confirmed there are no other equipment changes for the 2025 MG 5 Essence over the previous 2024 version. It continues with a 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol engine producing 119kW of power and 250Nm of torque, a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission, and claimed combined fuel economy of 6.4L/100km. Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, keyless entry with push-button start, synthetic leather seat trim, a 360-degree camera, six-speaker audio and a glass sunroof. In addition to the safety upgrades, the MG 5's driver assist tech suite includes autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a 'Sport' tuned stability control system, and active corner braking control. MG offers one of Australia's longest new-car warranties, at 10 years or 250,000km.

Here are 10 electric estates available now or in the near future
Advertisement At its launch back in 2017, the MG5 was the only electric estate available on these shores. Come mid-2025 and it's now been relegated to the classifieds – but that doesn't make it a bad buy mind. Especially if you can stretch to a mid-life facelift example, which arrived in 2022. Where its predecessor was a rather bland-looking thing, the updated 5 was a completely different prospect entirely, with its sharp face, LED lights front and rear and suave cabin. It also supported vehicle to load capability, enabling you to power anything from a coolbox to a coffee machine. While early versions can be picked up from as little as £5k, later models start from around £12.5k, and many will still be within their seven-year warranty. If you can avoid the badge snobbery, there's much to like. Click here to read the full review Advertisement - Page continues below Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo You might like Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo Got your eye on a Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo, but want slightly less of the Audi Allroad treatment? The Taycan Sport Turismo, which sees the ride height slightly lowered and the plastic body cladding prised off, could be your answer. Post facelift you now get an 89kWh battery in the entry-level Sport Turismo, while a 402bhp electric motor drives the rear wheels for a 0-62mph time of 4.8 seconds and a range of 352 miles on a single charge. There's 270kW DC rapid charging too. Want more speed? The Turbo S now has a bonkers 939bhp and does 0-62mph in 2.4 seconds, but the proper driver's Sport Turismo may be the mid-range GTS. Click here to read the review Advertisement - Page continues below Peugeot's design team are on a roll of late, and the third generation 308 and 308 SW are no exception. Originally available with petrol and diesel engines only, Peugeot has since rolled out hybrid and fully electric powertrains to both the hatchback and estate. Result. The e-308 SW (short for Sports Wagon, FYI) gets a 154bhp electric motor mated to a 54kWh battery for up 254 miles of range (and a best-in-class efficiency of 4.93 miles per kW, it claims), with 100kW fast charging allowing for a 20-80 per cent top-up in 25 minutes, if you can find a plug capable of those speeds. Inside you get Peugeot's smart looking i-Cockpit, while boot capacity is 548 litres with the rear seats up, and 1,574 litres up to the roof with the rear seats down. "Probably the best all-rounder you can currently buy at the affordable end of the market," was the verdict in our review. Click here to read the full review Vauxhall Astra Electric Sports Tourer We're big fans of the Vauxhall Astra Electric – great looks, decent to drive and low running costs – so a longer, more spacious, bigger booted variant was always going to appeal to our better nature too. And lo, meet the Vauxhall Astra Electric Sports Tourer. Doesn't roll off the tongue quite so easily, does it? Still, it shares the same 154bhp electric motor, 54kWh battery, 254ish-mile range as the Peugeot e-308 SW – yep, plenty of Stellantis cross platform sharing going on here – but gets a slightly more mature suit. It gets a slightly smaller boot compared to the Peugeot though, with 516 litres seats up and 1,553 seats down. Is a little bit plain too. Click here to read the full review At the BMW Group's annual conference in March 2023, boss Oliver Zipse confirmed what we've known about estate cars for years. 'The BMW 5 Series Touring is very popular,' he said. 'From spring 2024 it will also come in an all-electric version, giving us a truly unique selling point in this segment.' And he was true to his word. The BMW i5 Touring is available in two iterations, the entry-level i5 eDrive40 (rear-wheel drive, 335bhp, 295lb ft) which offers up to 348 miles of range from its 81kWh battery pack, and the range-topping i5 M60 (all-wheel drive, 593bhp, 586lb ft), capable of the 0-62mph sprint in 3.9secs, but a slightly reduced 314 miles range from its identical sized battery. BMW tells us all models get the same 570 / 1,700 litre (seats up / down) boot. Prices start from just over £70k. Click here to read the full review When the A6 e-tron concept broke cover back in April 2021, we were suitably impressed but also secretly crossing our fingers and toes hoping for an Avant version. Estates are both better looking and far more practical than saloons, of course. A year later Audi revealed the A6 Avant e-tron concept - suitably futuristic without being OTT. Thankfully the production car looks remarkably similar to that original design. It's based on the new PPE platform that's shared with Porsche and you can even have an S6 Avant with 543bhp. This or a BMW i5 Touring, we hear you ask? Well, we've driven them both back to back, so you don't have to. Find out which was our winner behind these blue words. Click here to read the full review Advertisement - Page continues below Back in 2019, Volkswagen previewed its Vizzion concept – a stylish, futuristic, fantastic looking fully electric estate – at the Los Angeles Motor Show – before it all went very quiet. A little too quiet for our liking. Then, in early 2023, VW revealed its ID.7 saloon (which you can read about by clicking these blue words), before confirming that an estate (Tourer) version would follow. A year later it finally arrived – hurrah! – and now you can have it in all-wheel drive GTX form with 335bhp and a 0-62mph time of 5.5 seconds. Click here to read the full review Mercedes-Benz CLA Shooting Brake Merc shouts loud and proud that this CLA Shooting Brake is its first electric 'estate'... even if Shooting Brakes aren't technically estates and this technically isn't a Shooting Brake. But let's not get into all that here and now. Instead know this: this is the only way you'll get to an electric estate wearing the three-pointed star on the front. Two versions will be available on our shores: the rear-drive 250+ (268bhp/85kWh battery/473 miles of range) and the all-wheel drive 350+ 4MATIC (439bhp/85kWh battery/454 miles of range). Less range when fully loaded, mind. Speaking of, you're looking at up to 455 litres of cargo space with the back seats up, or 1,290 litres with the seats down. Click here to find out more Advertisement - Page continues below If there's one thing better than an A6 e-tron, it's an RS6 e-tron. While details are few and far between at time of writing, that hasn't stopped us dreaming. We do at least have some clues on the design, with Audi design boss Marc Lichte telling TG the RS6 will have a wider track and bigger wheels to set it apart from the A6 e-tron. Nothing out of the ordinary there – the current combustion-engined RS6 is the angriest looking to date. Expect the upcoming electric RS6 to smash the S6 e-tron's 0-62mph time of 3.9 seconds. Supercar performance in a practical package. Nice. Click here to find out more See more on Electric
