The ample dimensions ensure a strong presence, complemented by sporty features like tail lights, LED daytime running lights, and 16-inch alloy wheels. An electric sunroof enhances the sense of space.
Powering the MG 5 is a 1500cc engine. The base model will consist of a non-turbo engine paired with a continiously variable transmission (CVT) while the top-end variant will come with a turbocharged engine paired to a dual clutch transmission (DCT).
