IM by MG IM5: real-world range vs WLTP
The IM by MG IM5 has an official WLTP range of 304 mi–407 mi from a 100 kWh usable battery. Lab figures rarely match the road, so here is what to really expect — and a calculator to tune it to your weather, route and battery health.

How to read these numbers
Each estimate takes the IM by MG IM5 WLTP range and applies a transparent derate for temperature, driving profile, climate use and battery health. They are guides, not guarantees — your own efficiency, tyres, load and route all matter, so use the calculator above to match your situation.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the real range of the IM by MG IM5 in winter?
- In cold weather (around −10 °C) with the heating on, expect roughly 270 mi from the IM by MG IM5 — well below its WLTP rating, because batteries lose capacity in the cold and cabin heating draws extra power.
- How far does the IM by MG IM5 go on the motorway?
- At sustained motorway speeds the IM by MG IM5 manages about 318 mi. High speed is the single biggest drain on an EV, so motorway range is noticeably shorter than the WLTP figure.
- Why is the IM by MG IM5 real range lower than WLTP?
- WLTP is measured in a controlled lab cycle. Real driving adds cold or hot weather, higher speeds, climate control and an ageing battery — together they typically cut range by 20–40%, which is what these estimates reflect.
