MTRJM’s interior is minimalist but not cheap. The star is the holographic augmented reality HUD —navigation arrows literally paint the road ahead. The "chill" mode (single pedal, soft suspension, silent cabin) vs. "Vortex" mode (stiff chassis, aggressive regen, synthetic warp-drive audio) completely transforms the car. What Doesn’t 1. Ride Quality is Harsh Vortex mode is track-only stiff, but even in "Comfort," the Transporter 5 crashes over potholes. The 21-inch wheels and low-profile tires look amazing but punish your spine on broken pavement. For daily driving, you’ll learn to dodge manhole covers.
Want to change wiper speed or defrost the rear window? Dive into a sub-menu. The steering wheel haptic touchpads are oversensitive—we accidentally changed radio stations three times during a single turn. Tesla made this mistake years ago; MTRJM should know better. The Verdict The MTRJM Transporter 5 is a bargain-bin supercar slayer with a few first-gen headaches. For $50k, you get hypercar acceleration, solid range, and a genuinely futuristic cabin. But you also get a brittle ride, some software jank, and UI frustration.
MTRJM has done the hard part—building a fast, long-range, affordable EV. Now they just need to soften the edges. Literally.
Rated at 380 miles (EPA), the Transporter 5 uses a 100 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) pack. In real-world mixed driving (70% highway, 30% city), we saw 340 miles. 800V architecture means 10-80% at a 350kW charger takes exactly 19 minutes.
The 17-inch center screen is crisp, but our test unit crashed twice (once while navigating, once adjusting climate). Wireless Android Auto/CarPlay is present, but the native MTRJM OS is laggy when waking from deep sleep. A promised OTA update should fix this, but first impressions matter.
Rating: 8.7/10 Price: Estimated $48,000 – $65,000 Competitors: Tesla Model 3 Performance, Lucid Air Pure, BYD Seal
