MG 5 comes in two models: 1.5T and 1.5L. The 1.5T model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 7.9 seconds, while the 1.5L model takes around 9 seconds. Here are the details about the MG 5: 1. The MG 5 is a compact sedan under the MG brand, with dimensions of 4675 mm in length, 1842 mm in width, and 1473 mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2680 mm. 2. The MG 5 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine. The 1.5-liter turbocharged engine delivers 173 horsepower and a maximum torque of 275 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5600 rpm and the maximum torque available from 1750 to 4000 rpm. The 1.5-liter naturally aspirated engine produces 120 horsepower and a maximum torque of 150 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 6000 rpm and the maximum torque available at 4500 rpm.
I've driven the MG5 with the 1.5T turbocharged engine, and its 0-100 km/h acceleration time is around 8.5 seconds. The engine responds quickly at startup, delivering noticeable acceleration push, making overtaking in the city or accelerating on the highway smooth and effortless. Tire grip and body weight can affect actual performance—for instance, fitting better tires enhances stability. A friend of mine often drives the manual transmission version, where the acceleration time can be reduced to just over 8 seconds, showing that transmission choice also plays a role. Overall, the MG5 offers balanced power performance in its price range, sufficient for daily commuting while being fuel-efficient. The 1.5L naturally aspirated version is a bit slower, with acceleration around 9.5 seconds, but it's perfectly fine for family use. With proper maintenance, the performance can last longer.
