Overview

The second-generation MG 5 is a B-segment sedan for buyers who want a conventional petrol four-door with a CVT automatic and five seats. Launched in 2024, it is sold in Malaysia in one 1.5 NA front-wheel-drive form, priced from RM93,800, and suits those prioritising a straightforward sedan layout.

The MG 5 carries into 2026 unchanged. The 2024-generation B-segment sedan remains a single-variant range, using a naturally aspirated 1.5-litre petrol engine driving the front wheels through a CVT automatic. Output remains 112 hp from its 1,498 cc four-cylinder engine, and the cabin continues to be configured for five occupants.

The MG 5 gives buyers a conventional B-segment sedan formula: petrol power, CVT automatic, front-wheel drive and five seats. Its 112 hp output is clear enough, but the pricing needs careful consideration. At RM93,800, it costs RM3,200 more than the Toyota Vios, RM8,900 more than the Honda City and RM9,912 more than the Nissan Almera. The case for it therefore rests on its particular package rather than a lower entry price.
