The MG5 along with the MG3 hatchback will aid in reviving the MG brand. 
The model we tested was let down by it's 1.5-litre petrol powertrain, which produced 105bhp and was coupled to a disapointing 4-speed manual gearbox.

The interior featured some hard plastics, but is simply layed out and well built.
MG will also offer a better 5-speed manual gearbox and a automatic option too.

In the centre of the dashboard sits MG's touchscreen infotainment unit, which is run by a android based system.
