MG 5 Essence

$32,990

Power: 119kW
Torque: 250Nm
Fuel use: 6.4L/100km
Gearbox: Automatic
Drive: FWD
Seats: 5
ANCAP: 3-star

The 2025 MG5 Essence is a budget-friendly turbo sedan now sold in a single, better-equipped grade after MG dropped the entry Vibe and added a meaningful safety upgrade. It uses a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with 119kW and 250Nm through a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic, returns a thrifty 6.4L/100km, and undercuts most small sedans at $32,990 drive-away. Equipment is generous for the money: a 10-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 360-degree camera, synthetic-leather seats, a sunroof and a 10-year/250,000km conditional warranty. The trade-offs are a modest 3-star ANCAP rating and a fairly basic cabin with single-zone air-conditioning rather than dual-zone climate.
