MG 5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The MG 5 is a straightforward B-segment petrol sedan with a 112 hp naturally aspirated engine and CVT. But its RM93,800 entry price is higher than the Toyota Vios at RM90,600, Honda City at RM84,900 and Nissan Almera at RM83,888. That places the MG 5 at the top of this group on price despite having only one available variant.
