Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The MG S5 is a B-segment electric SUV for buyers who want a five-seat EV with a 62 kWh battery, 202 hp and a claimed 446 km range. This 2025-generation model is locally assembled in Malaysia and starts from RM117,528 in Lux specification.

S5 in 2026 — what's new

For 2026, the Malaysian MG S5 moves to CKD assembly at EPMB’s Melaka plant. The current local line-up is reduced to one Lux variant, pairing a 62 kWh battery with a 205 PS/350 Nm motor and 446 km of WLTP range. A facelifted Chinese-market MG S5, sold there as the MG4X, gains a semi-solid-state battery option, up to 204 PS and 610 km CLTC range; those changes are not confirmed for Malaysia.

Verdict

The locally assembled S5 brings useful headline numbers: a 62 kWh battery, 446 km WLTP range and a motor rated at 205 PS/350 Nm. But RM117,528 places it above the RM80,000 Perodua QV-E, RM95,000 Seres 3, RM100,000 BYD Atto 2, RM103,800 Proton eMas 7 and RM107,800 Leapmotor B10. Its case rests on the final Lux equipment tally and how its driving range suits your routine.
