DUBAI: MG Motor Middle East has officially launched the new MG5 sedan in the Middle East, bringing a combination of sleek design, enhanced comfort, and affordability to discerning drivers across the region.
Unveiled at the Jeddah International Motor Show in Saudi Arabia, this new compact sedan comes with an attractive starting price of USD 12,600, making it an appealing option for first-time car buyers, small families, and young drivers alike.
With a range of three trims — Standard (STD), Comfort (COM), and Deluxe (DEL) — the MG5 offers diverse choices to meet varied customer preferences.
“Our understanding and connection with customers always brings us great feedback and knowledge,” remarked Tom Lee, Managing Director of MG Motor Middle East. “Thanks to our current and potential customers, we understand the demand for a model such as the new MG5, one which combines elegant style, comfort, safety, and affordability. We are confident that the new MG5 will set new standards in its class and become a favourite among drivers in the Middle East.”
Stylish and spacious design
The new MG5 showcases a fresh and striking design, featuring a refined front fascia with dynamic lines that create a commanding road presence. This five-seater sedan not only offers a spacious cabin but also boasts Zero G seating, an innovative feature designed to deliver ultimate passenger comfort.
These seats, with 20mm zero-gravity padding, are crafted from eco-friendly microfibre leather and high-resilience foam, ensuring both durability and support comparable to that of premium vehicles.
For storage, the MG5 offers a 406-litre luggage compartment, providing ample space for daily needs and family outings.
Advanced features
Under the bonnet, all MG5 trims are powered by a 1.5L engine producing 109HP, paired with an efficient 8-speed CVT transmission — rigorously tested over 2.35 million kilometres for durability and reliability. With its advanced EPS (Electric Power Steering) system, the new MG5 delivers improved handling and control, featuring Pull Drift Compensation (PDC) and Torque Steer Compensation (TSC) for added stability in different driving conditions.
Drivers can switch between three steering modes — Light, Standard, and Calm — allowing them to customise their driving experience based on road conditions and personal preference.
Safety and tech
MG Motor places a strong emphasis on safety, equipping the MG5 with a high-strength cage body and ultra-high torsional stiffness for enhanced protection. The laser-brazed body structure not only strengthens the car but also improves sound insulation. For added peace of mind, the Deluxe trim includes a Super 360 Visual Assistance system, which aids in parking and manoeuvring by providing a comprehensive view of the surroundings.
The MG5's trim-specific safety features include dual front and side airbags in the STD and COM trims, with additional curtain airbags available in the DEL trim.
How to book MG5
The new MG5 is now available for purchase across GCC markets, Iraq, Jordan, and Lebanon, in three distinct trims tailored to diverse customer needs. To book or learn more about the MG5, potential buyers can visit MG Motor’s official Middle East website or authorised dealerships across the region.
