2025 MG MGS5 EV Crash Test Ratings Revealed – Should You Trust It?

The 2025 MG MGS5 EV is stepping confidently into the European market, backed by strong Euro NCAP safety scores that show it is not just about looks—it is about protecting the people inside and around it. Let us talk safety, numbers, and why this electric small sport utility vehicle could be worth your attention.

First up, adult occupant protection scored an impressive 90%. That is not just a passing grade—it is top-tier. In frontal crash tests, the structure remained stable, and both driver and front passenger were well protected. Side impacts? Even better. The MG MGS5 EV earned maximum points here. Whiplash protection was also rated highly for both front and rear seats. There was a minor concern about dashboard structures possibly affecting differently-sized drivers, but overall, this vehicle is a solid performer.

Child safety was also a priority. The MGS5 EV scored 82% in this category. It showed excellent performance in both frontal and side crash tests using dummies representing 6-year-old and 10-year-old children. While it lacks child presence detection, it does offer features like airbag deactivation for rear-facing seats and easy child seat installation in most positions.

When it comes to vulnerable road users—think pedestrians and cyclists—the MG MGS5 EV again scored 82%. The front of the car does a good job absorbing impact in most zones, although areas near the windscreen pillars could be improved. Its automatic emergency braking system reacts well to pedestrians, cyclists, and even motorcyclists. Plus, it has cyclist dooring prevention, though only for the driver door.

The vehicle’s safety assist score was 78%, thanks to standard features like seat belt reminders for all passengers, a direct eye-monitoring driver alert system, and intelligent lane keeping. The speed assistance system identifies local limits and can automatically adjust, although it is not on by default.

With solid all-around performance and practical active safety systems, the 2025 MG MGS5 EV stands out in the crowded electric small sport utility vehicle space. If you are thinking electric and want peace of mind on safety, this is a model worth checking out.
