Compare the Vauxhall Frontera Electric vs MG S5 EV
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you want an engaging drive, the MG S5 EV is more powerful, offers good over-the-shoulder visibility, and can even be a little bit fun on twisty roads in Sport mode. By contrast, the Vauxhall Frontera Electric is not much fun to drive and the view over your shoulder is not great. The Frontera hits back with suspension that generally deals well with bumps, whereas the S5 EV feels quite firm and bouncy over obstacles like speed bumps in town. Both cars give you handy physical climate controls rather than burying adjustments in touchscreen menus. When maximum carrying capacity matters, the Frontera provides more room with its back seats folded down.
