MG Motor Middle East has officially launched the new MG5 in the Middle East, following its regional debut at the Jeddah International Motor Show in Saudi Arabia. This compact sedan combines striking design, advanced technology, and impressive comfort, offering exceptional value. Priced starting at $12,600 (excluding VAT, varying by market), the MG5 is a perfect choice for drivers who desire elegance and drivability in one package.
Versatile Trim Options for Diverse Buyers
The new MG5 caters to a broad range of buyers, from first-time car owners to small families and young drivers. Available in three trims—Standard (STD), Comfort (COM), and Deluxe (DEL)—the model provides options to suit various customer preferences across the Middle East. This flexibility allows buyers to choose features that best meet their lifestyle needs.
Feature-Rich Trims for Enhanced Comfort and Convenience
The entry-level STD model includes essential features such as a multifunction steering wheel, parking radar, and Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The mid-tier COM variant adds conveniences like a rear-view camera and PVC leather seats. For those seeking a premium experience, the DEL trim offers a 360-degree camera, power-adjustable driver’s seat, sunroof, six-speaker audio system, and wireless phone charging. While the STD and COM trims have a 3.5-inch colour instrument display, the DEL trim boasts a 12.3-inch virtual display, adding a luxurious touch to the driving experience.
Sophisticated Styling and Spacious Interior
The new MG5 showcases a bold front design with dynamic lines and a confident stance. Inside, the sedan comfortably seats five passengers and offers a generous 406 litres of luggage space, balancing style with functionality. This spaciousness makes the MG5 a practical choice for families and individuals alike.
Deluxe Interior Comfort with Zero G Seats
The MG5’s interior is designed for maximum comfort, featuring Zero G five-seater texture upholstery. The deluxe seats come with a 20mm zero-gravity padding layer for a soft yet supportive feel, offering premium-level comfort for all passengers. With eco-friendly microfibre leather and high-resilience foam seat construction, the MG5’s interior combines sustainability with durability.
Balanced Performance for Smooth Driving
Under the hood, all MG5 trims are powered by a 1.5L engine delivering 109 horsepower. The intelligent throttle valve optimizes efficiency, while the 8-speed CVT transmission, tested over 2.35 million kilometres, ensures long-lasting reliability. The vehicle’s advanced Electric Power Steering (EPS) system, featuring Pull Drift Compensation (PDC) and Torque Steer Compensation (TCS), provides stability across different driving conditions. Drivers can also choose between three steering modes—Light, Standard, and Calm—for a customized driving experience.
Enhanced Safety and Stability Features
Safety is a primary focus for the MG5, equipped with a high-strength cage body structure for exceptional torsional stiffness. Advanced laser brazing enhances the vehicle’s structure and sound insulation. The Super 360 Visual Assistance system offers drivers a comprehensive view, simplifying parking and manoeuvring. Additionally, the STD and COM trims come with dual front and side airbags, while the DEL trim adds curtain airbags for enhanced protection.
