MG S5 EV vs Zeekr 7X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the MG S5 EV and 249 miles for the Zeekr 7X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Zeekr 7X goes roughly 41 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 28 minutes in the MG S5 EV and 13 in the Zeekr 7X, so the Zeekr 7X loses less time at each stop. That makes the Zeekr 7X the stronger long-distance car.

The MG S5 EV is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 81 mm narrower than the Zeekr 7X. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV and about 470 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr 7X. The MG S5 EV also turns in a 1.1 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG S5 EV and 90% for the Zeekr 7X. That gives the Zeekr 7X a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr 7X's LFP-type pack tolerates daily 100% charging, while the MG S5 EV's NMC-type pack lasts longest kept to about 80% for everyday use. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
