What is the MG5?
2 Answers
MG5 is a sporty hatchback pioneer featuring five key attributes: avant-garde design, exhilarating power, precise handling, multi-dimensional safety, and intelligent driving. As the first mid-class hatchback launched by SAIC Motor after establishing the Global-A platform by integrating global resources. Below are extended details: 1. Exterior: The new MG5 remains largely unchanged from the current model, retaining its hatchback design with an overall sporty appeal. 2. Powertrain: The MG5 continues with the current 1.5L and 1.5T engines, delivering maximum power outputs of 80kW and 95kW, and peak torques of 135Nm and 210Nm respectively. The 1.5L naturally aspirated engine offers a choice between a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission, while the 1.5T engine is paired with a 6-speed automatic manual transmission.
Just picked up the MG5 two months ago, and this car is super popular among young people. A coupe that can be had for just over 100,000 yuan, with its sleek fastback design and bold front fascia that turns heads on the road. I went for the 1.5T version, packing 181 horsepower paired with a 7-speed wet dual-clutch transmission, making city overtaking a breeze. What I love most are the standard 10.25-inch touchscreen and Yamaha audio system across all trims—listening to music with Bose active noise cancellation during traffic jams after work is incredibly stress-relieving. The rear seats are surprisingly spacious; at 178 cm tall, I still have a fist's worth of headroom. The downside? It's a bit stiff over speed bumps, but the sport-tuned chassis keeps it stable around corners.
