In the frontal offset test, protection of the 6 year dummy was good for all critical body areas and good or adequate for the 10 year dummy. In the side barrier impact, protection of all critical parts of the body was good for both the 6 and 10 year dummies. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. Clear information is provided to the driver regarding the status of the airbag and the system was rewarded. The MG MGS5 EV does not have 'child presence detection', a system which issues a warning when it recognises that a child or infant may have been left in the car. Most child restraints could be properly installed and accommodated. However, MG does not recommend fitting any restraint in the rear centre position.

Protection of the head of a struck pedestrian or cyclist was largely good or adequate, with poor results recorded on the stiff windscreen pillars and at the base and top of the screen. Protection of the pelvis was mostly good. Protection of the femur was also generally good, while that of the knee and tibia was good at all test locations The autonomous emergency braking system of the MG MGS5 EV responds to vulnerable road users such as pedestrians and cyclists, as well as to other vehicles. In tests of its response to pedestrians, the system performed well, including some response for those to the rear of the car. The system performed well in tests of its reaction to cyclists, including ‘dooring’, while its response to motorcyclists was good.

Overall, the performance of the autonomous emergency braking (AEB) system was good in tests of its reaction to other vehicles. A seatbelt reminder system is fitted as standard to the front and rear seats. The car has a direct driver status monitoring system as standard, detecting driver fatigue and some types of distraction. The lane support system gently corrects the vehicle’s path if it is drifting out of lane and also intervenes in some more critical situations. The speed assistance system identifies the local speed limit. The driver can choose to allow the limiter to be set automatically by the system.

The passenger compartment of the MG MGS5 EV remained stable in the frontal offset test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of both the driver and front passenger. However, on the driver’s side, structures in the dashboard presented a risk of injury to occupants of different sizes or those sitting in different positions, and the score was penalised Analysis of the deceleration of the impact trolley during the test, and analysis of the deformable barrier after the test, revealed that the MG MGS5 EV would be a benign impact partner in a frontal collision. In the full-width rigid barrier test, protection was good or adequate for all critical body regions of the driver and rear seat passenger. In the side barrier test, the MG MGS5 EV provided good protection to all critical body areas and scored maximum points. In the more severe side pole impact, protection was at least adequate for all critical body areas. Control of excursion (the extent to which a body is thrown to the other side of the vehicle when it is hit from the far side) was found to be adequate The MG MGS5 EV has a countermeasure to mitigate against occupant-to-occupant injuries in such impacts. The airbag performed well in Euro NCAP’s tests with dummy readings indicating good protection for both the driver and passenger. Tests on the front seats and head restraints demonstrated good protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision. A geometric assessment of the rear seats also indicated good whiplash protection. The car has an advanced eCall system which alerts the emergency services in the event of a crash, and a system to prevent secondary impacts after the car has been in a collision. MG demonstrated that the doors would be openable to allow occupants to escape in the event of vehicle submergence.
