Which MG 5 models have driving mode selection?

These MG 5 models have driving mode selection: 300TGI Automatic Qing Luxury Trend Edition; 300TGI Automatic Qing Luxury Premium Edition; 300TGI Automatic Qing Luxury Flagship Edition; 300TGI Automatic Chao Yue Qing Luxury Limited Edition. The 2021 MG 5's automatic transmission offers multiple driving modes, commonly including "Eco Mode", "Sport Mode", or "Snow Mode". If the MG 5 is equipped with driving mode switching, it is recommended that MG 5 owners use Eco Mode for daily driving, select "Snow Mode" when driving in snowy conditions, and use "Sport Mode" when higher power demands are required.

I remember the MG5's 1.5T version has driving mode switching in several higher trims. Specifically, it's available in the top-tier automatic transmission Trophy Luxury Edition and Flagship Edition. The models with a red button on the lower right of the steering wheel have this feature, allowing you to switch between Normal, Sport, and Custom modes. The Normal mode drives quite smoothly, while the Sport mode revs the engine significantly higher, making the throttle very responsive for quick overtaking. The Custom mode even lets you adjust parameters like steering effort. However, the 1.5L naturally aspirated versions don't have this function across the entire lineup, so you need to check the configuration sheet carefully when purchasing.

The MG5 with driving modes is mainly the Trophy series, such as the flagship model launched last year. That eye-catching red Super Sport button is particularly noticeable—press it and the dashboard instantly switches to a red theme, accompanied by a louder exhaust note. Normal mode is suitable for stop-and-go traffic, while Sport mode makes highway driving exhilarating, with altered transmission shift logic. However, the base Trend version, despite having the same 1.5T engine, seems to lack this feature. It's recommended to test-drive at a dealership, as the steering weight varies noticeably between modes.

Last year, while helping my cousin choose a car, I researched the MG5. The 1.5T top and sub-top trims come with driving mode switching. In normal mode, fuel consumption can be kept around 7L/100km, but when switched to sport mode, the RPM basically stays above 2,500, with faster power response but fuel consumption jumps straight to 9L/100km. The custom mode is fun because it allows separate adjustments to power output and transmission logic. I remember the salesperson demonstrating during the test drive that even the instrument cluster theme color can be changed after custom settings. It's really a pity that the lower trims lack this feature.
