2 Answers
The failure rate of the MG5 is approximately 50%. Here are the specific details about the MG5: 1. Body dimensions: The MG5 is a compact coupe under the MG brand. The car measures 4675mm in length, 1842mm in width, and 1473mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2680mm. It is a four-door, five-seater sedan. 2. Powertrain configuration: The MG5 is equipped with two engines: a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.5L turbocharged engine. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine delivers a maximum power of 88kW at 6000 rpm, with a peak torque of 150Nm at 4500 rpm. It is paired with either a 5-speed manual transmission or a CVT. The 1.5L turbocharged engine produces a maximum power of 127kW at 5600 rpm, with a peak torque of 275Nm between 1750 and 4000 rpm. This engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission.
I've been driving my MG5 for almost three years now. It's been quite reliable for daily commuting, but there are quite a few minor issues. The most common problem is the electronic screen freezing, and sometimes the navigation system crashes during startup, requiring multiple restarts. The air conditioning fan also made noise for a while, and the repair shop said it was due to wiring contact issues. A friend's car was even more unfortunate, having to replace the transmission sensor, which cost around a thousand yuan. Many forum users complain about similar faults, mainly concentrated in electronic components. The overall failure rate isn't particularly high but isn't low either, requiring repairs once or twice a year. While not major issues, they can be quite annoying. I'd recommend buying a newer model or getting regular maintenance to reduce such troubles. The car is fairly reliable during the warranty period, but as it ages, you need to pay more attention to checking the electrical circuits yourself.
