Specifications, price and details for the MG 5 on sale in Australia.
The 2025 MG 5 Essence is a five-seat petrol sedan with front-wheel drive and an automatic, making 119kW and 250Nm. It's priced from $30,990 RRP, which is the recommended price before on-road costs like rego and stamp duty get added. Fuel use is listed at 6.4L/100km combined and the boot holds 401 litres with the seats up. The safety score is worth knowing up front, as it carries a 3-star ANCAP rating from 2025, and we don't have a braked towing figure on record yet. It suits someone after a straightforward petrol sedan with a long warranty who's happy to weigh that safety rating.
