Morris Garages Malaysia Launches MGS5 Electric SUV

MGS5 Electric SUV is offered in two variants and across two battery capacities, prices start at RM115,900 for the 49kWh MGS5 EV COM, RM125,900 for the 62kWh MGS5 EV COM Long Range, and RM135,900 for the top-of-the-line 62kWh MGS5 EV LUX Long Range.

A spacious cabin does not mean the MGS5 EV’s body styling is remotely ‘boxy’ SUV.

Viewed in profile there are strong powerlines providing a hint of athleticism.

At the front MGS5 EV has a striking Cyberster split grille design in addition to integrated high/low beam lights. The LED Daytime Running Lamps have a chequered flag signature which is also repeated at the rear. The side cladding running down the length of the MGS5 EV is finished in silver as are the sweeping twin roof rails.

With its advanced MG Modular Scalable Platform and ultra-thin 110mm Horizontal Cell Design, the MGS5 EV is not only a highly rewarding driver’s car but has the capacity to be a spacious, highly versatile as well as comfortable SUV. Four adult occupants, with plenty of room for luggage, can be comfortably accommodated.

There’s 1026mm of headroom for front seat occupants and 967mm passengers in the rear, with a 60:40 split fold as standard in the rear. Numerous storage spaces have been created across the cabin and boot space is amongst the best in class. There’s 453 litres standard boot space but with the rear seats folded this increases to 1441 litres. A two-stage boot floor provides further flexibility and additional features include a boot hook, mesh pockets and anchor points. A smart, electric tailgate is also provided.

MGS5 EV is the second MG model to be built on the highly-acclaimed Modular Scalable Platform (MSP). First introduced on the award-winning MG4, this platform is specifically designed for EVs with a lightweight chassis improving electric range and driving dynamics. Rear wheel drive with 47:53 weight distribution, as well as a rear Five-Link suspension, further enhances this MG’s ride and handling.

A high-performance electric drive system, efficient and compact, delivers maximum power of 170kW and maximum torque is 350Nm. Full torque can be delivered in under 50 milliseconds which supports some impressive acceleration across the range.

In conjunction with its launch and MG’s 1st anniversary celebration in Malaysia, MG Motor Malaysia is extending an exclusive early access offer to the first 500 buyers. Customers will enjoy RM6,000 in savings, bringing the starting price to just RM109,900. To further enhance convenience, each eligible customer will also receive a complimentary 7kW Wallbox AC charger for easy home charging.

The MGS5 EV is available in five sophisticated colours – Artic White, Monument Silver, Camden Grey, Dynamic Red, and Elegant Latte offering Malaysian customers a modern EV choice that reflects both personal style and driving confidence.

Across the board, the MGS5 EV features LED headlamps with ‘Racing Flag’ themed DRLs and MG’s signature Arch Taillights with the same distinctive motif. Additional highlights include Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) functionality, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a 12.8-inch central infotainment touchscreen with voice command, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, and MG’s iSMART connectivity system. Boot space is generous, offering up to 1,441 litres including the underfloor compartment.

Designed with an ultra-thin Horizontal Battery Layout, the MGS5 EV maximises cabin space while maintaining a low centre of gravity setting a new benchmark in its segment. Its advanced adaptive pressure control system minimises battery cell expansion enhancing both safety and battery longevity.

In case you were wondering, this latest MGS5 has a few immediate rivals and it is the recently launched Honda e:N1 electric SUV which is priced at RM149,900 that starts the decision making and this is followed by the Proton e.MAS 7 which is priced from RM105,800.
