The MG 5 is a series of compact cars that has been produced by SAIC Motor under the MG marque since 2012. The first generation MG 5 was launched on 28 March 2012 in China, and shares the same automotive platform as the Roewe 350 saloon car.[1]
In China, the first generation hatchback was sold as the MG 5, while the sedan was sold as the MG GT. The first-generation MG GT was also sold as the MG 5 in several markets.
The second-generation model is marketed as the MG 5 in China and Thailand, and either the MG 5 GT or MG GT elsewhere. For most markets outside China and Thailand, the MG 5 nameplate is used for a different model, which is the export version of the Roewe i5. Its battery electric version, the Roewe Ei5 is exported to Europe as the MG 5 EV.
