What are the MG S5 EV and Peugeot e-2008 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the MG S5 EV and 171 miles for the Peugeot e-2008 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MG S5 EV goes roughly 36 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the MG S5 EV or the Peugeot e-2008?
The Peugeot e-2008 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 79 mm narrower than the MG S5 EV. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 630 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-2008 and about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the MG S5 EV or the Peugeot e-2008?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG S5 EV and 84% for the Peugeot e-2008.
