MG 5 has a spacious interior. In terms of body dimensions: The MG 5 is a compact car with a length of 4704mm, width of 1848mm, height of 1466mm, and a wheelbase of 2715mm. It has a fuel tank capacity of 50 liters and a fuel consumption of only 6.2L per 100km. The curb weight is 1300kg, and it meets the China 6 emission standards. In terms of powertrain: The MG 5 features a MacPherson strut front suspension and a multi-link rear suspension. It is equipped with a 1.5L turbocharged engine that delivers a maximum horsepower of 181PS and a maximum power of 133kW, paired with a 6-speed manual transmission.

I've been driving the MG5 for a while now. As someone in my early twenties, it's been quite handy for daily commutes and weekend shopping trips. The space is decently roomy. The front seats offer flexible adjustments, and at 1.75 meters tall, I find both headroom and legroom in the driver's seat quite comfortable. The back seats can accommodate two friends without feeling cramped, and the trunk can fit a suitcase plus shopping bags. The compact design makes parking a breeze, and it's agile for city driving. On weekends, it's sufficient for taking my partner out. While the space can't match an SUV, it offers great value for money—quite a bargain in its price range.

I use the MG5 to pick up and drop off my kids at kindergarten. The space is sufficient for a small family but a bit cramped for long trips. The front row is comfortable for me, but in the back row, after installing a child seat, an adult sitting next to it might feel shoulder-to-shoulder. The trunk has no problem fitting a stroller and miscellaneous items. On the highway, the kids moving around might make the space feel a bit narrow, smaller than a mid-size car. For city commuting, parking is convenient and fuel-efficient, and the compact space is an advantage.

The MG5 has a wheelbase of approximately 2680mm, offering medium rear legroom in its class. As a tech enthusiast who has tested the data, I found that taller passengers might feel a bit cramped in terms of rear headroom. The trunk offers around 400 liters of space, enough for two or three backpacks but less than a hatchback. Overall, the space is standard for driving, suitable for solo use with occasional friends, with a sporty design focused on handling.
