I like the wheels and window tints but not sure about the front charging flap

I like the looks but that might win a prize for the world's most boring video

It does go on a bit!

A software update and a different plastic front!

I think the new MG5 looks very smart, IMO a better facelift than the EZS.....just my view.

I'm afraid I got bored with watching the video.
It does seem a mid term makeover rather than an entirely new model (does look smart though)
I understood this one will be a lot slower than the current model is the any information later in the clip?I

No further info later in the inside clip, although I did fast forward it a bit.

It's definitely a facelift, just like the ZS but with, imo, significant upgrades on spec.

Not sure how it can be any slower as I thought it has the same motor, battery pack and range as the current iteration.

I'd have to take the MG badge off the front and stick on the charging point flap!

Personally I think the facelift is more effective than the ZS. However there is a lack of brand design consistency across the range and I assume the MG5 is a Roewe simply rebadged MG for some markets. Don’t understand why MG do not use the ZR/ZS/ZT naming to keep it simple, logical and some degree of historical reference.

I thought the MG5 has always been known to be a rebadged Roewe, as is the Marvel R, dunno about the ZS but I would imagine that is too.

Yep. Otherwise it looks like it's slipped upwards...!

I wasn’t sure how well known the Roewe (Rover….) link was with modern MG owners. Having done a search there are various Roewe SUV’s which superficially differ but probably share platforms and under the skin structures with the ZS and HS.

I like it all, much improved. Nice wheels, good to see tints…..shocking music accompanying the music though

This is my thinking, when you can see they've had to keep the charge socket and flap in place and just moved the badge...nice update with the app though, like the new lights, not that bothered about the new shape bumper, not enough to temp me into an early swap.

 

[Severnless]

It’s very nice, would look to trade up my standard range original 5 for one, but that front end reminds me of a Cylon from battle star galatica, or maybe it’s just me?

At the end of the day it's still an MG5 mk 2 < MG5 < Roewe Ei5 < Buick Exceed < Hyundai Laecetti (I think that's how it went)
