The MG 5 is a series of compact cars that has been produced by SAIC Motor under the MG marque since 2012. The first generation MG 5 was launched on 28 March 2012 in China, and shares the same automotive platform as the Roewe 350 saloon car.[1]

In China, the first generation hatchback was sold as the MG 5, while the sedan was sold as the MG GT. The first-generation MG GT was also sold as the MG 5 in several markets.

The second-generation model is marketed as the MG 5 in China and Thailand, and either the MG 5 GT or MG GT elsewhere. For most markets outside China and Thailand, the MG 5 nameplate is used for a different model, which is the export version of the Roewe i5. Its battery electric version, the Roewe Ei5 is exported to Europe as the MG 5 EV.

Safety

[edit]

ANCAP

[edit]

ANCAP (aligned with Euro NCAP) rated the Australasian-market MG 5 zero stars in 2023 due to the lack of seatbelt pre-tensioners and its autonomous emergency braking being limited only to car-to-car and vulnerable road user.[15] It is one of three vehicles that ever receive such score from the Australasian safety programme. ANCAP has accused MG of "a lack of design effort to prevent rear-seat occupant injury in frontal impact and side impact scenarios".[16] In response, MG announced a $4 million worth of investment to introduce safety changes to the MG 5 to improve its crash-test performance for occupants by adding new collision avoidance features, which will be launched sometime in 2024 for the Australian market.[17]

Test Score %
ANCAP safety rating:
Adult occupant protection: 15.09 out of 40 37%
Child occupant protection: 28.81 out of 49 58%
Vulnerable road user protection: 26.78 out of 63 42%
Safety assist: 2.48 out of 18 13%

MG 5 Scorpio (2022)

[edit]

The MG 5 received a performance variant called the MG 5 Scorpio for the 2022 model year with the front fascia completely redesigned and an additional performance-inspired body kit and additional colour options. The MG 5 Scorpio is powered by the same 1.5-litre turbo engine that powers the regular MG 5 but tuned up to 181 hp (135 kW; 184 PS), 8 hp (6 kW; 8 PS) more than the standard model. The top speed is 200 km/h (124 mph) which is the same as the standard MG 5. Gearbox remains to be the same 7-speed DCT.[18][19]

In comparison to the regular MG 5, the Scorpio Edition is 20 millimetres longer, 7 millimetres higher, and has the same width and wheelbase. The Scorpio Edition is 125 kilograms heavier than its regular counterpart. Combined fuel consumption is rated at 6.1 litres per 100 kilometres (38.5 US MPG).
