ID.4 Pure Urban vs MG S5
I have an opportunity to get a new id4 pure urban (52kwh 170hp) with style package ( IQlight matrix led, 3D rear lights etc) for 35.5k Eur or MG S5 EV luxury for 37k Eur or MG S5 comfort 49kw for 28k.
For VW Stand says its 2026 model but I cannot find this engine & battery combination on ev database for 2026, I can only see 2021-23 with this combination and I know there were a lot of issues with that years' models. Car has 145kw max charging, I think this only became available in 2026.
A little background, we are moving to EVs from diesel. We are expecting our first child, and we want to have another child so in 3-4 years we will be 4 - hopefully :) -, we drive roughly 12k km per annum and living in Portugal. I dont have home charging but I can charge at work once or twice a week.
My question is which one would you recommend? How I can understand id4 is not a lemon that stand trying to offload? Low tier MG is purely there because of its price; real competition between S5 luxury and id4.
