Electric, with an RRP under the $91,661 fuel-efficient LCT threshold (2026-27). Under the ATO's electric cars exemption, a novated lease of an eligible electric car attracts no FBT if luxury car tax was never payable on it. The benefit is still reportable on your income statement.
Proposed, not law: the 2026-27 Budget would change this for cars over $75,000 from 1 April 2027 and for all electric cars from 1 April 2029. The ATO says the measure is not yet law (page updated 14 May 2026).

Some specifications for the MG IM5 are still being completed: kerb weight, 0-100km/h, turning circle and energy consumption. We only publish a figure once we have it from the manufacturer, so these stay blank rather than being estimated. They'll appear as they're confirmed.

Overview
The IM5 Premium is the entry point to IM Motors' electric fastback, a badge from SAIC (MG's parent) sold and serviced through MG's Australian dealer network. At $60,990 drive-away it undercuts most rivals while stretching nearly 4.9 metres, so there's genuine limo-grade space inside. The Premium runs a 75kWh LFP battery on a 400V platform for up to 490km of WLTP range, with a single rear motor making 217kW. It fast-charges at up to 153kW. Even this base car is loaded, with a 26.3-inch display, 20 speakers, a panoramic glass roof, heated and ventilated front seats and the full IM AD driver-assist suite as standard. As a sub-$91k EV it also qualifies for the FBT exemption on a novated lease.

Towing and load
The 4WD and load hardware this variant lists, the rig calculator, the load plans and the cost to towChild seats and anchors
ISOFIX lower anchors clip a compatible child seat straight to the car's frame, the quickest, most mistake-proof fit.
Top-tether straps stop a forward-facing seat pitching in a crash. Australian law requires a tether on every forward-facing child seat, so rear seats almost always have them.
Most 5-seat cars carry 2 ISOFIX on the outer 2nd-row seats plus tethers across the row; some 7-seaters add anchors in the third row.

Low profile
Staggered means the rear tyres are a different size from the fronts, so they can't be rotated front to back.
Drawn at a shared scale across the compared cars and across both ends of a staggered car, so a bigger tyre is genuinely bigger. Sidewall view shows wall height (profile); tread view shows width. Price band is an indicative fitted cost, budget brand (low) to premium brand (high), for four of the one size or for two fronts plus two rears where the car is staggered, unless a verified set price is on file. Actual prices vary by brand, retailer and fitting.

MG IM5: price, running costs, warranty, safety and size by grade
Every figure below is read off MG’s Australian documents for the 3 grades on this page, and each one says which grades it covers. Running costs are estimates and carry their assumptions; anything we do not hold says so.

Fuel or energy a year, estimated
No grade on this page holds an official combined consumption figure, so there is no estimate to make. We do not substitute a class average.
Fuel or energy only. Servicing, rego, insurance and tyres are not in these figures, and your driving and prices will differ.

ANCAP, by exact grade
- 5/5 (2025)
A rating belongs to the exact variant ANCAP tested and is never carried across to a grade or a build year it does not cover. A rating older than six years is marked expired because ANCAP’s own test has moved on.

The 2026 MG IM5 Platinum 100 RWD is a five-seat electric sedan that drives the rear wheels. It's priced at $63,650 est. RRP, which is an estimated RRP before on-road costs. It has a 100kWh battery and a claimed 655km (WLTP) of range, and DC fast charging peaks at 396kW. The boot takes 457 litres with the seats up and 1,290 litres with the rear seats folded. We don't have an energy use figure or a braked towing capacity for it yet, so it suits buyers who mainly want long range and quick charging in a sedan.

The IM5 Performance is the flagship of IM Motors' electric fastback at $80,990 drive-away. Dual motors produce a combined 572kW and 802Nm for a claimed 0-100km/h of 2.74 seconds (MG's figure, measured with rollout, so nearer 3.2 seconds in the real world), which is supercar pace for the money. It keeps the 100kWh NCM battery and 800V platform, good for 575km WLTP and 396kW DC charging, and rides on air suspension with rear-wheel steering. Standard kit runs to 20 speakers, a panoramic roof, frameless doors and the full self-parking IM AD suite. Sold through MG dealers, it undercuts anything with comparable acceleration.
