STORY

The MG5 began in 2012 as a compact hatchback for the Chinese market, sharing much with the MG6. It later became the MG5 EV, a fully electric estate that stood out in Europe as one of the few affordable electric station wagons on sale. The nameplate has covered petrol, hybrid and battery-electric versions in different markets.
