MG S5 EV vs Zeekr X

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the MG S5 EV and 171 miles for the Zeekr X - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The MG S5 EV goes roughly 37 miles further between charging stops. A rapid charge to 80% takes around 28 minutes in the MG S5 EV and 20 in the Zeekr X, so the Zeekr X loses less time at each stop. So the MG S5 EV stops less often while the Zeekr X stops for less time - pick on which you would rather do.

The two are within 13 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 564 mm of total clearance for the Zeekr X and about 551 mm of total clearance for the MG S5 EV. The MG S5 EV also turns in a 1.0 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 X. That gives the Zeekr X a modest edge in retained real-world range. The Zeekr X'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.
