Overview
The MG S5 is a B-segment electric SUV with rear-wheel drive and five seats, aimed at buyers moving into an EV without stepping beyond the compact-SUV class. It starts from RM104,468, with a choice of 49 kWh or 62 kWh batteries and claimed driving ranges of 340 km and 446 km respectively.
S5 in 2026 — what's new
The 2026 MG S5 remains the generation launched in 2025, now locally assembled in Melaka. The RM117,528 Lux arrives with a 62 kWh battery, 202 hp and 446 km claimed range, while the RM104,468 Com broadens the line-up with a 49 kWh battery, 168 hp and 340 km range. Both versions retain rear-wheel drive, a single-ratio automatic transmission and five seats.

Which variant to buy
Most buyers should pick the RM117,528 Lux. The RM13,060 gap over the RM104,468 Com buys a larger 62 kWh battery, 446 km claimed range and 202 hp, against 49 kWh, 340 km and 168 hp. That is a meaningful 106 km range advantage for longer trips and less frequent charging. Choose the Com only when the lower entry price matters more than range and power; both are rear-wheel-drive five-seaters with a single-ratio automatic.

MG S5 buyer's guides & reviews
Verdict
The S5 makes a clear two-step case: the Com is the lower-cost entry point, while the Lux brings substantially more battery capacity, range and power. Its pricing needs clear-eyed consideration. The Com costs more than the BYD Atto 2 and Proton eMas 7, while the Lux costs more than every named same-class rival, including the Leapmotor B10 and Dongfeng Vigo. The rear-wheel-drive layout is common to both S5 versions.
