You’ve read concerning the MG S5 EV, and saw the electrical SUV on the recent Malaysia Autoshow 2025, where MG Motor Malaysia revealed the EV’s variants and launch package, but not the actual price. Now, here’s the ultimate piece of the jigsaw from the S5’s official launch.
The electrical SUV rival to the Proton eMas 7 and BYD Atto 3 is priced from RM116,548 for the bottom Com 49 kWh, rising to RM126,548 for the Com Long Range with a 62 kWh battery. The range-topping Lux Long Range with the identical 62 kWh battery is yours for RM136,548. All figures are on-the-road without insurance.
The S5 EV’s previously reported launch package had a RM5,000 discount and a complimentary 7kW wallbox for home charging. At today’s launch, MG announced a boosted money rebate of RM6,000 with the free wallbox for the primary 500 buyers.
Because of this the value for early birds is RM110,548 for the Com 49 kWh, RM120,548 for the Com 62 kWh and RM130,548 for the Lux 62 kWh – RM10k increments, mainly. For quick reference, the Proton eMas 7 is priced from RM109,800 to RM123,800, while the BYD Atto 3 Ultra retails for RM123,800 (ongoing promo brings it right down to RM118,800). Competitive!
To recap, the bottom Com offers a selection of 49 kWh or 62 kWh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries, good for WLTP rated range of 340 km and 430 km respectively. The Lux is exclusively paired to the 62 kWh battery. All have a rear motor with 170 PS and 250 Nm of torque – MG stresses that the S5 is the one rear-wheel-drive EV in its class. Rear multi-link suspension, if you need to know.
As for charging, max rates are 7 kW AC and 120 kW DC, with the Lux taking the latter to 150 kW, a rate that allows 10-80% SoC top ups in 26 minutes. Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) is on the market to power your appliances. There are three levels of ‘KERS’, MG’s name for regen, and single-pedal mode.
Standard kit include LED headlamps with ‘Racing Flag’ themed DRLs, a rear LED light bar that grows ‘wings’ at the perimeters, 17-inch alloys, electronic parking brake with auto hold, single-zone automatic aircon with rear vents, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.8-inch infotainment touchscreen with voice command, a ten.25-inch digital instrument cluster, reverse camera and MG’s iSmart app connectivity.
The Com Long Range adds on leather-fabric seats with perforated MG logos (full fabric on the Com) and a six-way powered driver’s seat with manual lumbar.
Go for the Lux and also you’ll get 18-inch alloys, power folding wing mirrors, panoramic sunroof, leather steering wheel, wireless phone charging pad, rear centre armrest and reading lamps, six speakers (from 4), auto wipers, powered tailgate with kick sensor and a 360-degree surround view camera. Safety clever, it’s seven airbags and a full ADAS pack with auto high beam and tyre pressure monitoring across the range, which is nice.
At 4,476 mm long, 1,849 mm wide and 1,621 mm tall, the S5 is 139 mm shorter, 52 mm narrower and 49 mm lower than the Proton eMas 7 and has a 20 mm shorter wheelbase. It’s barely larger than the BYD Atto 3, though. There’s no frunk, however the 453-litre boot could be expanded to 1,441 litres with the rear seats folded, including the space under the boot floor.
Five colors can be found – Arctic White, Monument Silver, Camden Grey, Dynamic Red and Elegant Latte. The latter is an exclusive tone for the Lux Long Range. The factory warranty is seven years or 150,000 km for the vehicle, eight years or 180,000 km for the EV battery and eight years or 160,000 km for the drive motor and motor control unit.
“With the official pricing now revealed, the MG S5 EV represents top-of-the-line value propositions in the electrical SUV segment. It’s not nearly affordability, it’s about delivering advanced EV technology, spacious design, and premium features at a highly accessible price point. We’re excited to supply Malaysian customers a compelling EV selection that doesn’t compromise on performance, practicality or style,” said Emory QiFeng, MD of SAIC Motor Malaysia.
So, what do you’re thinking that of the MG S5 EV’s looks and package next to the eMas 7 and Atto 3? Even in the event you’re set on one in all those, surely there’s no harm trying out a compatriot in the identical price bracket? Check out the S5 EV for size at MG’s ‘Dare to Love’ roadshow, happening at Mid Valley Megamall’s centre court from today till May 25 (Sunday). Test drives can be found.
