At the heart of this tour and formally making its Philippine debut is the MG S5 EV, an all-electric compact SUV, which offers sporty rear-wheel-drive performance, practical SUV versatility, intelligent technology, and efficient electric power.

It delivers 170ps and 250Nm of torque from its Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor. Unlike many compact electric SUVs, the S5 EV sends its power to the rear wheels, giving it a more engaging driving character while retaining the practicality needed for daily commutes, errands, family trips, and weekend getaways. Drivers can choose from Normal, Sport, Comfort, Snow, and Custom drive modes, allowing the S5 EV to adapt to different driving conditions and preferences.

Powering the vehicle is a 49 kWh Lithium Iron Phosphate battery capable of 120kW DC fast charging. Under suitable conditions, the battery can charge from 10% to 90% in approximately 24 minutes, while AC charging is supported at up to 7 kW. The S5 EV offers a 415-kilometer NEDC range, giving drivers the flexibility to handle everyday travel and longer journeys with confidence.

The S5 EV also makes electric ownership more convenient with features such as scheduled charging, battery thermal optimization, regenerative braking with Low, Medium, Strong, and Adaptive settings, and One-Pedal Drive. Its Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability adds another dimension to its versatility, allowing the vehicle to supply power to compatible external devices when needed.

But the S5 EV is not simply about what happens under the floor. At 4,476 mm long, 1,849 mm wide, and 1,621 mm high, with a 2,730 mm wheelbase, it offers the proportions of a compact SUV that are well-suited to both city streets and weekend escapes. Inside, it provides 453 liters of cargo space, expanding to 1,441 liters with the rear seats folded and underfloor storage included, giving drivers the flexibility to carry everything from everyday essentials to luggage for longer trips.

Its modern exterior complements its electric character with sporty details including 17-inch alloy wheels with aero fins, projector LED headlights, Racing Flag-design LED daytime running lights and taillights, gloss black door mirrors, and a rear spoiler. Load-bearing roof rails capable of supporting up to 75 kilograms further enhance its practicality for active lifestyles.

Inside, the S5 EV keeps technology within easy reach. A 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster works alongside a 12.8-inch touchscreen display, while wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto provide seamless smartphone connectivity. Automatic climate control, Smart Entry, electronic parking brake with Auto Brake Hold, multiple USB ports, 60:40 split-folding rear seats, and a PM2.5 cabin filter add everyday convenience for both driver and passengers.

The MG S5 EV comes equipped with an extensive suite of MG Pilot advanced driver-assist technologies, including Front Collision Warning, Autonomous Emergency Braking with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Departure Warning, Lane Keeping Assist, Emergency Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Detection, Lane Change Assist, Door Opening Warning, Rear Cross Traffic Alert and Braking, Rear Collision Warning, Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, Intelligent Headlight Control, Intelligent Speed Assistance, and Driver Monitoring System.

Seven airbags, ABS, Electronic Brake-Force Distribution, Brake Assist, Electronic Stability Program, Traction Control, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System, rear parking sensors, and a rear-view camera with dynamic guidelines further contribute to a confident driving experience. The MG S5 EV has also received 5-star safety ratings from both EURO NCAP and ANCAP.

The arrival of the S5 EV comes at an exciting time for MG Motor Philippines as the brand continues to expand its New Energy Vehicle portfolio. With Hybrid+, Plug-in Hybrid, and Battery Electric Vehicles now forming an increasingly important part of the lineup, MG is giving Filipino motorists more freedom to choose the technology that best suits their lifestyle—whether they are ready to make the full transition to electric or prefer the flexibility of hybrid and plug-in hybrid driving.
