Longer and wider. Equipped with rich content found in more premium car segments. Steeped in British heritage. And all for a price tag that sits competitively among the other options in its category. The all-new 2019 MG 5 is big—literally, and figuratively for its huge value proposition.
The MG 5 is, strictly speaking, classified as a subcompact sedan. Though, there is really nothing “subcompact” about it; the vehicle’s dimensions make it more akin to a mid-sized sedan. It is the longest (4,601mm) and widest (1,788mm) option in its class, and also features the longest wheelbase (2,680mm), resulting in impressive legroom for both front and rear occupants of the car.
Underneath the hood of the MG 5 is a fuel efficient, 1.5-liter, DOHC 16V, naturally aspirated engine that produces 114 ps and a best-in-class torque output of 150Nm. The MG 5 is available with either a 5-speed manual transmission, or a CVT gearbox with manual mode.
Inside, a legitimate case can be made for the MG 5 being the best-equipped in its class. Key first-in-segment features include a user-friendly 10-inch touch screen infotainment head unit that can run both Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto; 360-degree vehicle view, which gives drivers a bird’s-eye view of their car, making it easier to negotiate tight parking spaces and obstructions in low speed traffic; a power driver’s seat for optimum comfort adjustment; and auto on/off headlamps.
Other safety and convenience highlights of the MG 5 include driver and passenger airbags, 4-wheel disc brakes, hill start assist, auto brake hold, a push start/stop button, cruise control, electronic climate control, a tire pressure monitoring system, a reversing camera, and a sunroof for when the weather outside is pleasant.
The numbers and features do not lie: The MG 5 has the potential to be a game-changer in its segment. But the car’s already high value proposition is further supplemented by MG Philippines’ premium aftersales offers and services. These include a 5-year or 100,000km warranty (whichever comes first), and 1-year free periodic maintenance service (PMS) to set your mind at ease. MG owners can also download the My MG mobile app which allows them to easily schedule vehicle servicing appointments from the convenience of their smartphones. They can also use the app to book a visit from a Mobile Garage service caravan that provides MG owners with vehicle home service for major technical issues. MG HERO Services, on the other hand, provides 24/7 roadside support through the MG Philippines hotline (+632 3284664).
