The MG5 along with the MG3 hatchback will aid in reviving the MG brand.

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.
