MG 5 2020-2021

The new MG 5 has been available in Egypt for quite some time. Despite its recent presence, it has become a staple in the used car market. It's a compact car that competes with smaller models. It also offers numerous features and specifications that surpass those of its class. It competes with models such as the Renault Logan, Nissan Sunny, Citroën C-Elysee, Peugeot 301, Fiat Tipo, and Hyundai Elantra HD. The MG 5 family sedan has topped the Egyptian passenger car market for some time. Total sales in the first four months of 2021 reached 3,954 units, according to the AMIC report. The AMIC report also announced that the MG 5 topped Chinese car sales in 2020, with sales of 5,792 vehicles.

 

The car was offered with a 6-year or 150,000-kilometer warranty, whichever comes first. Prices started at EGP 214,990 for the Classic trim and EGP 235,990 for the Comfort trim. The Luxury trim was priced at EGP 251,990. The car features a well-designed and attractive design with distinctive lines.

Reviews - MG 5 2020-2021

Motor

80%

The MG 5 is powered by a 1.5-liter, non-turbocharged, 4-cylinder engine that produces 120 hp at 6,000 rpm and 150 Nm of torque at 4,500 rpm. It's mated to a CVT automatic transmission and front-wheel drive. The car can accelerate to 100 km/h in 12.1 seconds and has a top speed of 175 km/h.

 

Engine Experience: It's economical and performs well for this class, but it's not sporty and doesn't offer much in terms of performance. It tends to deliver more power at 6,000 rpm, and the CVT makes the most of its torque. The transmission is from older generations, so it's a bit slow on initial acceleration. Before a speed of 40 km/h, the climb is slow due to the gearbox and RPM. Performance improves after that, and it can reach speeds of 190 km/h.

 

The car also consumes between 7 and 9 liters per 100 km, depending on the location, according to some tests. However, the company confirmed that the average fuel consumption figure is 5.8 liters per 100 km. The car also has a 45-liter fuel tank. It is considered a good fuel-efficient car.

 

The car has an engine suitable for its nature of work; it is not a car intended for running and racing. It is considered a family car, and therefore its 1500 cc engine with 120 horsepower is suitable. However, it can be said that the car's acceleration isn't at its best, even with this engine, reaching a full 12.1 seconds.

 

One of the drawbacks facing the car's performance and engine is that traction is slow at the start of the car's launch and at low speeds. However, as speed gradually increases, traction and the car's responsiveness improve.

 

In conclusion:

The car's engine is suitable for its nature of operation, being more of a family car than a youth car. Therefore, the car's performance is adequate and its fuel economy is good. Its only problem is its slow response and traction at low speeds (less than 20 km/h) and slow traction at the start of the launch.

The car is 4601 mm long, 1818 mm wide, and 1489 mm high. The trunk capacity is 512 liters. Based on these dimensions and the wheelbase length, the front seats are comfortable, with ample room for both the driver and front passenger. The seats can also be adjusted to suit the driver's comfort.

 

The rear seats are also adequate in terms of space. The space between the seats and the backs of the front seats is adequate and good. There is also good headroom and legroom. The car's drawback is the transmission tunnel, which makes it difficult for three people to sit comfortably on the rear bench. A third person sitting in the middle can be uncomfortable. Interior storage space is also adequate, and the trunk capacity is up to 512 liters.

 

The car features a sporty, flat-bottomed steering wheel. The dashboard design combines elegance with tradition. In terms of equipment, the car's cabin features a large, easy-to-use 10-inch screen that controls many of the car's functions, including the ability to control the air conditioning in some models, making it extremely practical. It also features a color instrument cluster with red indicators and black and silver accents. Both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay are available. However, the entertainment system and screen responsiveness may be affected by extreme heat. The car also offers power seats, a feature not found in its class among competitors, along with a 360-degree camera, leather upholstery, LED lighting, a sunroof, and keyless entry and start. These features are mostly unavailable in its class, setting it apart from its competitors. The cabin also features high-quality materials, including leather upholstery on the dashboard and plastic door trim. Two types of steering wheel upholstery and two types of seat upholstery are available. In addition, there's a choice of two leather-trimmed seat colors.

 

The driving position is good for the driver, with large glass areas and thin pillars that prevent many blind spots. The mirrors are large, and the rear glass area is generous. Sound insulation inside the car is average, not the best. The car's air conditioning is average and takes some time to cool down, especially if the weather is hot, there are more than one person in the car, or it has been left in the sun for a while.

 

In summary:

The cabin is very good in terms of front and rear space and storage areas.

The car's equipment is plentiful and offers features not found in other competitors.

The car's interior is comfortable and offers many features that buyers in this class wouldn't expect.

The cabin's lack of excellent insulation is a drawback.

The car's air conditioning is weak, as it's not considered the best in its class.

Spare Parts

70%

 

MG cars are new to Egypt, so spare parts are more readily available through the dealer. Spare parts are not widely available outside the dealership and its authorized distributors. However, spare parts are expected to become more available at dealers as the car continues to spread widely in Egypt and its popularity increases.

Suspension

80%

The car comes with an independent front axle suspension and a semi-independent rear axle suspension. The car's suspension is known to be neither too soft nor too flexible, nor too rough, as it falls somewhere between the two. This helps maintain the car's stability.

 

The car has the ability to move steadily on the road, especially at high speeds. It also handles curves well compared to other cars in its class. It also handles road imperfections and regains its balance well. The car is based on the latest Opel Astra and Chevrolet Cruze production platforms, providing it with better road stability.

 

The car's ground clearance is not high enough for Egyptian roads. The suspension's harshness also increases the sense of road imperfections, although the appropriate seats help mitigate this feeling.

The car comes with standard steering with three steering modes: Urban, Normal, and Dynamic. These steering features help you change your driving style depending on the road, whether in cities or on highways.

 

In summary:

Due to its suspension and chassis components, the car offers exceptional stability on the road at high speeds and on curves.

This stability comes at the expense of some comfort due to the roughness of the chassis.

The roughness of the chassis and the sensation of road imperfections are mitigated by the car's comfortable seats.

 

The car is not very high off the ground.

Resale

80%

The MG 5 offers excellent value for money. It comes at a price that offers more features than its competitors, making it a good value for money. It can be said that the car is new to the Egyptian market, specifically the used market. However, many of them are available for sale on online sales sites, not in the used market.

Many of the MG5s for sale are new and have low mileage. Although it is a Chinese car, it performs well in resale, especially given its widespread popularity in Egypt. The resale price is also good and not low, so the car's resale value is good. Despite its new Chinese appearance, its widespread popularity ensures that it achieves good resale value.

Security

90%
The new MG 5 features a cage-style body made of high-strength steel and developed using advanced laser welding technology to enhance the car's overall strength and rigidity, especially in collisions. The brakes are ventilated discs on the front axle and solid discs on the rear axle, with a manual or electric parking brake. Safety features include: ... Single

The third-generation Luxury trim comes with all of the above and more:

Electronic parking brake

 

However, the car lacks front fog lights. However, it is considered one of the most available cars in terms of various safety features found only in higher trims. It also offers a large number of safety features directly from the first-generation trim.
