Overview
The MG S5 is a B-segment electric SUV with five seats, a single-ratio transmission and either a 49 kWh or 62 kWh battery. Prices start from RM108,548, putting it above the Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2, Proton eMas 7 and Leapmotor B10 entry points. It suits buyers who want a compact EV SUV with a choice of battery sizes.
S5 in 2026 — what's new
In 2026, the MG S5 story shifts to local assembly. CKD production at EPMB’s Melaka plant adds a Malaysian-assembled 62 kWh Lux with a 205 PS/350 Nm motor, 446 km WLTP range and RM117k launch price, and the plant is also preparing left-hand-drive export units for South America. China-market MG4X/S5 facelift news mentions a semi-solid-state battery option and up to 610 km CLTC range, not Malaysian specification.

Which variant to buy
The range has three variants: 49 Comfort at RM108,548, 62 Comfort at RM118,548 and 62 LUX at RM128,548. Most buyers should start with 62 Comfort: it keeps the same 168 hp output as 49 Comfort but raises battery capacity from 49 kWh to 62 kWh, and range from 340 km to 430 km, for RM10,000 more. The 62 LUX uses the same 62 kWh pack and 168 hp motor; on paper, you are paying for trim, not mechanicals.

Verdict
The MG S5 gives Malaysia another B-segment electric SUV at just over RM108k, but it is not the cheapest in class: Perodua QV-E, Seres 3, BYD Atto 2, Proton eMas 7 and Leapmotor B10 all start lower. The jump from 49 Comfort to 62 Comfort is easy to justify on numbers alone, because it adds 90 km of stated range. Local assembly and South American export plans give the S5 a clearer Malaysian footprint.
