Built for Aussie Families, Styled for the Future
The MGS5 EV is the latest product to ride on MG’s Modular Scalable Platform, a flexible EV chassis also underpinning the 5-star ANCAP-rated MG4. That means the MGS5 inherits the rear-wheel-drive layout, sporty handling, and low-profile battery (just 110mm tall), improving cabin space and road feel.
