Overview

The MG 5 is a B-segment petrol sedan with five seats, sold in Malaysia as a single 1.5 NA CVT variant priced from RM93,800. It suits buyers who want a conventional automatic four-door rather than an EV or SUV, and who are comparing it against the City, Vios, Almera and Persona.

For 2026, the MG 5 carries on unchanged from the Mk2 model launched in Malaysia in 2024. MG’s latest local and regional activity sits around the S5 EV and MG4X, not a new MG 5 update. The Malaysian MG 5 range remains a single petrol sedan variant, the 1.5 NA with a CVT automatic.

The MG 5 is straightforward: one petrol sedan, one transmission, one price. Its problem is also clear. At RM93,800, it starts above the Toyota Vios at RM90,600, Honda City at RM84,900, Nissan Almera at RM83,888 and Proton Persona at RM47,800. The buying case is not a lower entry price.
