MG Motor Malaysia has just launched the MG S5 EV in Malaysia. With a starting price of RM115,900, this C-segment electric crossover is the brand’s most affordable EV SUV to date, and will compete against the Proton eMAS 7 and the BYD Atto 3.
The MG S5 EV features a more conservative design, with smooth curves and lines, in contrast to MG’s current lineup in Malaysia. But compared to its competitors, It stands out with signature MG design cues such as the two-piece front lip and light bar flanked with arrowed shapes.
Standard exterior equipment include 17-inch alloy wheels, active grille system (AGS), and automatic LED headlights with LED daytime running lights (DRLs).
