MG Motor Malaysia is having a mid-year promotion that includes the MG5 and MG4 fashions. The MG5 is a C-segment sedan with a B-segment value (MG Malaysia calls it a B) whereas the MG4 is a sharp-suited EV in a sea of bulbous, cutesy battery-powered automobiles.
The MG5 is being supplied with a RM7,000 low cost, which places the RRP at RM86,900, the identical value that early birds signed on. In the meantime, the MG4’s ‘Drive Now, Pay Later’ deal is providing as much as 12 months of free instalments. That’s for the Lux variant; the Commonplace variant will get as much as eight months free. Phrases and circumstances apply.
To recap, the MG5 is 4,675 mm lengthy and 1,842 mm broad, which places it across the measurement of the Honda Civic. The MG’s 2,680 mm wheelbase is nicely inside the C-segment ballpark (Toyota Corolla 2,700 mm, Civic 2,735 mm). Nonetheless, the MG5’s powertrain is consistent with B-segment norms – a 1.5-litre NA-four with 114 PS/150 Nm paired to a CVT. Extra in our launch report.
Launched in March 2024, the MG4 Commonplace has 170 PS, 250 Nm, a 0-100 km/h time of seven.5 seconds, and a 51 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery for 350 km of WLTP vary. The Lux has 203 PS, 0-100 km/h in 7.7 seconds and a 64 kWh nickel manganese cobalt (NMC) battery for 435 km WLTP vary. The RRP is RM104,629 and RM129,629, respectively.
The opposite MG4 variants – Lux Prolonged Vary (520 km) and Xpower (0-100 in 3.8s) – aren’t talked about within the promo. Extra on this attention-grabbing EV in our evaluation.
