Local servicing for proton is by Vincar, so probably same level of service and support as for Aion. Personally I have more confidence in Eurokars for servicing and support for MG. @Tkseah If Proton and Aion are both under Vincar, then the workshop and servicing quality will be the same. Me too looked at MG because I felt Eurekars has been AD for longer and more trustworthy / reliable than Vincar as AD. But I have no evident to prove either way, so is just gut feeling. @DOBIEMKZ @Lala81 Yes the Aion SE mentioned windscreen and both front windows are double glazed. @DOBIEMKZ what you wrote/found on Aion V vs MG S5 on NVH and ride comfort are inline with what I experienced. My bum sensor working well. On 5/26/2026 at 5:46 PM, 13177 said: Road noise might be more in MGS5. Aion V seems like feel and look better in terms of the interior, features and materials than MGS5. But overall depends on what you want. I think MGS5 and Aion V each has their own good points. @13177 fully agree each of MG S5 and Aion V has its own supporters, really boils down to what the buyer wants. ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having double glazed windows definitely makes the car more quieter and nicer ride. But are there many cars out there comes with double glazed windows? Even though Eurokars has been AD for very long, but not sure if MG would be taken good care for their car servicing? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cannot expect all to have due to costs and budget levels, even within the same family brand. For examples. Aion V : Has a laminated soundproof front windscreen and a double-layered acoustic glass for the front row side windows. Aion Y Plus. Has a laminated soundproof front windscreen, but no double-layered acoustic glass for the front row side windows. Aion UT. No laminated soundproof front windscreen and no double-layered acoustic glass for the front row side windows. The above info was given by Google. Need to check with VinCar.

Car servicing doesn't have to be great lah.. but I wan AD that will honour the warranty if something spoils, rather than finding excuses claiming this and that is wear and tear not covered by warranty etc... 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also fwd. It can be a good alternative. It selling at a lower price but it is in Cat B coe and also higher road tax. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Cat B power is there though so a plus point if u love the acceleration. The additional road tax is around $300 more per year compared to Cat A, so still not prohibitive. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had weird problems after a year plus and sent my MINI in; problems solved within half a day and they say "We'll replace your battery under warranty just to cover all bases!" That's why MG mentally rank rather high on my list when I am ready to go electric. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any other EV in the market is Cat B coe and the price range is below 180k? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
