2024 MG5 Launched - Vios-Beater From RM87k?! |

[@shampain7746]

"take care and stay safe" then proceeds to smack the bonnet, could be a diversion from the safety ratings, but a power move nonetheless.

[@afokabest]

ANCAP said the MG 5 (pictured above and below) recorded significant injury risk measurements for the chest (poor) and legs (poor) of the driver in the frontal offset test, and the chest (poor) and legs (poor) of the rear passenger in the full width frontal test.

[@joshuadoliveiro]

No surprise that the specification and design is impressive. I'll be observing the reliability of this brand.

[@jakecloudfield]

Front looks badass!! Overall a really goodlooking car

[@ahafeezs]

that's a bloody aston martin dna right there lads

[@Josh92SA]

You think this is amazing. Should checkout the MG7. Exterior of a Supra. Interior of a Lamborghini.

[@ahafeezs]

@@Josh92SA clean looking, hopefully it got the reliability and performance of Supra with CdA of Lamborghini.

[@vergil5047]

I just test drove this today. Overall for positive aspects, the car is definitely smooth and rides very very well. NVH is pretty decent, brakes are good and steering has good feedback. But the car is sorely underpowered, and I'm not sure why but there's a noticeably hum from the exhaust inside the cabin. Seats are too stiff for my liking, and the amount of plastics makes the car feel too cheap IMO.

[@naga2015kk]

mercedes SLS on a budget. Nice. Does it come in Orange?

[@rajakhairulnizam326]

Orange is ugly colour bro

[@adampotatos6854]

Love the design, i dont mind the safety but is that yellow bulb?

[@jasongc8v]

Honestly everything is good the looks of the car,spacious interior,good fuel mileage but cvt transmission that one have to jaga cvt

[@matramli2657]

MG5 vs proton S70???

[@MShah-ch6st]

S70..Period.

[@leecheong4986]

It's only the beginning. People will see more of this quality at even more offordable price.

[@EarthyLee]

Good looking car no doublt but ANCAP safety ratings is a BIG FAT ZERO. Yes for the trade off of lower built quality and safety. Affordable ? Yes. Safety and peace of mind? NO!

[@elbowstancenow1519]

no turbo version yet?

I own a turbo version with DCT here in PH. I dont know why they wouldnt release the turbo variant there in MY

[@KadirIbrahim307]

Interested and well come to the market.. but is there any after sales service centre in east coast .. pahang, terengganu ..tq

[@hal9xxx321]

The back kinda looks like the saga which in itself kinda looks like the C-class rofl. Tri-Claw taillights is very Peugeot-ish as well. Not a bad look for the price. I hate the oxymoronic marketing though, there's nothing British about newer MGs (and Lotus lol). Edit: Also Aiman, superb delivery on the video! Keep doing the good work mate 👍

[@zahar027]

What's the function of the third stick on the steering?

[@MalaysianMotoring]

Cruise control.

[@PCDC924]

Looks and price quite decent.. but the 0 star NCAP is abit worrisome..

Style over substance

[@aimanshah1025]

no AEB, wow that kinda dangerous for driving nowadays😮

[@faizsuhaimi13]

no ADAS in 2024?

No 60-40 folding rear seats makes this very restrictive.

[@MH-is7eu]

Finally a sedan. Getting bored with SUV launches.

[@eugp4198]

With this good looks and this size, I would hope it comes with at least a 1.8/2.0 L engine and rear multi-link suspension. But hey, it is still value for money at this price point for what it is, consumers still look for value for money.

[@ryder9739]

Put in turbo and multilink rear suspension and I'll buy it at RM110k

[@jereignjayavenhenryjohn6802]

I mean MG can..... But the price might increase a bit..... Plus after adding roadtax and all kinds of nonsense..... Ya it might get a bit expensive

[@TheHackerSoulxD]

I have this car in PH with the turbo variant. it has 250 nm and 159 hp

[@TheHackerSoulxD]

Also DCT

[@uyirveli]

Japanese run for the money.

[@watb8689]

0 ancap safety, asean ncap most likely 3. As shown by ancap, better don't get bang from the side, it will hurt the driver and passenger very very badly, like icu level. this is because the pillars are really thin. It doesn't come with pre tensed seat belt, meaning in case of emergency, it doesn't reduce the lunge forward momentum. You have to understand China car manufacturers mostly cheapen out on metal, that is why you see the other brand has rear axle going off issue. It only has 79ps instead of the preclaimed 115ps. Go ask the Thais on real dyno outputs. Malaysia has high accident rates, do your own assessment, it is your money.

[@jejakamisteri3442]

does it applies to proton too? all the new models are china product too

[@batulaut]

Safest car in the world cannot even save you from accident but safe and defensive driving can. Let us not just buy a car solely based on any ncap star rating because it is just that; a rating. My opinion is that a car is only effective at providing their optimum safety when the driver uses it within the car's limit. Ncap rating are based on a simulated crash test. While it can be a helpful indication of safety, it is not a sole defining factor to buying a car. Definitely not to the upper range of B40 and M40 groups. Otherwise Axia Rahmah should not be around in the first place.

[@Ali-d4h4l]

Chery Omoda 5 scored 5 stars, but nobody trusted the test. Now MG5 scored 0 star, suddenly the rating is everything. Nicely hypocritical.

[@watb8689]

go look at asean ncap if they ever release them and also ancap footages. your own judgement your money.

[@jswong8200]

Correct about the lack (or shortage) of ultra high-strength steels or gigapascal steels in the structure. Side impact and pole impact tests pretty much flunked. However, if you look at the ANCAP site as to why they got a low score, a huge contributor to it is because it doesn't have safety aids that drives the car for an idiot driver who can't keep his eyes on the road and drive attentively. Basically, that would mean any previous-generation vehicle without active safety that are otherwise pretty safe and strong (like the old Preve, the previous Civic, the pre-IQ Drive volkswagens, older Audis, etc) are likely to be rated 0 or 1 star by the revised Woke ANCAP Standards.

[@everram701]

Those who complain about 0 star ANCAP rating, why not drive Toyota and Mazda and see whether proven durable or not where Toyota and Mazda have caught in durability test failures Toyota have caught safety test failures for several times with lots of recalls, lots of quality issues too while Mazda also have lots of quality issues too but with engine issues, transmission issues and concern about engine emissions as many are concerned whether Mazda still trustable or not based on engine durability and engine emissions where heard from mazda owners complaining about engine and also replacement cost for mazda engine also like buying small car Going to aftersales, once buy toyota and Mazda, you will have to face more challenges too while mazda parts also not easy to collect too as heard from one of Mazda owner also no parts after waiting for one month Think about it, and now realize on why Toyota and Mazda not as good buy as MG where MG durability is better and have better aftersales and at least not much issues than before

[@CaviarRecon]

Yeah. Already owned Toyota, Mazda and Honda too...Safety is damn good. Skip this junk with Zero safety.

[@klkl1279]

Exactly, 😂 this price shaking Jap brands sales tho. 😂

Zero Stars safety rating. No thanks. 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Poor safety, no power and no manual transmission. Just add 1.8- 2.0L with 110k(I dont want turbo).

[@genossaitama300]

NCAP 0, 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@cloudxenogear]

Government should prohibited selling of cars that have ncap 2 and below rating.

[@ShuyaFay]

Soo, axia and bezza no more? Since both also 0 stars ncap?

[@ampo326]

how does a car with a 0 safety rating enter the market so easily bro💀😭

[@burniemc545]

i think the 0 rating is due to the lack of ADAS. Even the newest myvo and bezza is 0 NCAP rated

[@mazlanlan9002]

0 safety? are U sure? Doesn't have adas doesn't mean 0 safety

[@afokabest]

Ini kereta has 0 marks in ANCAP...even in brochure MG there are no mentions of safety. ANCAP said the MG 5 (pictured above and below) recorded significant injury risk measurements for the chest (poor) and legs (poor) of the driver in the frontal offset test, and the chest (poor) and legs (poor) of the rear passenger in the full width frontal test.

[@elbowstancenow1519]

​@@afokabestA brilliant way to reduce population

[@zify89]

⁠@@mazlanlan9002safety is more than just having ADAS. It is also about about the structural rigidity and flexibility; and ability to disperse and absorb impacts during the accidents. The car’s poor performance in protecting its occupants during the crash tests awarded it ZERO star.

In term of car design, Proton S70 is the big loser if compared with MG5.
