MG Motor UK IM5 Hatchback Featured Deals
Jon was excellent throughout the process, and really worked hard for me. There was a small price discrepancy, as the “in stock deal” on the website only indicated the price for a base model without any additional options, which was not actually possible to order - which I felt was a little misleading. However, Jon worked up a deal I was happy with, and communicated very well throughout the process - including following up with some issues after delivery. I will definitely use again.
Yeh, good service a bit of headache filling forms couple of times but turn around was very good and with the maintenance cover it’s peace of mind.
What's great: I'm now driving a lovely Lexus at a far more affordable price than I could find elsewhere. My contract includes a full maintenance deal which isn't always available with other providers. The sales process and arranging the finance was a good experience, with lots of support from Dave. Thanks Dave! BUT ... Once the contract had been agreed, communication was terrible. I was told that I would get access to the portal (which is the only way to track progress) 'shortly': it took 2 weeks and multiple phone calls and emails (initiated by me)to gain access. Promises to phone me back were not met. In the end, Dave sorted it out. Thanks Dave. The portal looked promising as it appeared that I could track my car's journey from the factory in Japan to delivery. However, apart from me uploading identity documents to it (not acknowledged until I got in contact), the portal did not change except to put my expected delivery date back a month (no explanation). Then out of the blue, the Lexus dealership phoned me to say that my car was ready for collection. This was surprising as the portal located the car in Japan, and gave me a bit of a dilemma as I needed to get rid of my current car at very short notice (anyone looking for an Audi Q2?). Nothing from Select Car until I contacted them to say where the car was. Their failure to contact me was apparently the Lexus dealership's fault in some way ... which I find hard to believe to be honest. I made the decision to collect the car rather than have it delivered, in order to get a proper dealership handover, which I was told was fine. Only nothing happened until I phoned Select Car and was told that I had to arrange collection directly with the dealer. That was news to me, but I did it, and was then sent regular emails informing me that my car was due to be delivered to my house on that date. A few more phone calls followed to sort that out ... Maybe I just had a poor experience. Maybe if you go for a car that is in stock rather than a factory order the process might be smoother. At the end of the day, I did get my car at a good price and within the original time frame, so on reflection I've changed my rating from 3 to 4 stars. But it was a frustrating journey which some joined-up communications at Select Car would have made a happier overall experience.
About the MG IM5
The MG IM5 saloon (as well as the IM6 SUV) arrived in 2025 and marked an exciting new chapter for the iconic British manufacturer.
The IM (or ‘Intelligent Mobility’) name represents an existing brand owned by MG’s parent company SAIC Motor.
Here in the UK, the IM5 is sold under the MG banner (with minimal MG badging) with IM essentially becoming an MG sub-brand.
What do the IM models bring to the table? With an emphasis on premium motoring to take on the likes of Tesla and Porsche, the IM vehicles move MG into much more upmarket territories.
Why lease the MG IM5?
The IM5 is MG’s take on cars like the Tesla Model 3 - and even the Porsche Taycan. It’s a saloon with a practical hatchback opening at the rear.
Standard Range models offer 295 PS and a driving range of up to 304 miles while the Long Range variants up the power to 407 PS while increasing the maximum range to 441 miles.
But it’s the Performance version of the MG IM5 that really catches the eye, coming with power of 751 PS and the ability to accelerate from 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds.
That represents pace to rival many supercars and also out-accelerates a Porsche Taycan GTS saloon.
The IM5 is also extremely well-equipped as standard, coming with 19-inch alloys, a 26.3-inch ultra-wide screen, a second 10.5-inch touchscreen on the centre console, four-wheel steering, hands-free powered tailgate, heated and ventilated seats, a panoramic sunroof, and a heat pump.

MG IM5 Frequently Asked Questions
Both the MG IM5 and the Tesla Model 3 are executive electric saloons with an abundance of pace and standard-issue equipment, and therefore make close rivals. Like the Tesla Model 3, the MG IM5 is available in ‘Performance’ form, which unlocks power of 751 PS and blisteringly-quick acceleration.
In Performance trim, the MG IM5 is capable of accelerating from 0-62 mph in just 3.2 seconds, thanks to power of 751 PS. It makes the IM5 Performance faster than the ‘GTS’ variant of the Porsche Taycan Saloon, but not as rapid as the 884 PS Porsche Taycan Turbo.
Range figures for the MG IM5 vary depending on which powertrain you choose. Standard Range models (75 kWh battery) can journey up to 304 miles between charges. Long Range variants (100 kWh battery) up the range to 441 miles. With the Performance IM5 (100 kWh battery) the range figure dips to 357 miles.
The MG IM5 features sophisticated 800-V architecture and 350 kW DC public rapid charging which can restore the energy in the battery from 10-80 % in 17 minutes. Using a regular 7 kW charger at home will see a 10% to 100% charge in 12 hours (for the Standard Range car).
All versions of the MG IM5 are extremely well equipped as standard. Lease customers can expect 19-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels, a 26.3-inch one-piece ultra-wide infotainment touchscreen, digital driver's display with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, sat nav, an additional 10.5-inch touchscreen on the centre console, four-wheel steering, hands-free tailgate, panoramic sunroof, heated and ventilated leather seats, and wireless phone charging. Tech features include adaptive cruise control, intelligent lane change, and MG’s ‘One Touch’ automated parking system.
