Stylish and intelligent: The MG RX5

Stylish and intelligent: The MG RX5

The MG RX5 demonstrates functionality, power, and class. It also features impressive driving dynamics; a contemporary, expansive, and comfortable interior; and an understated yet exquisite exterior. 

MG RX5 headroom and legroom

Some notable exterior features include the LED daytime running lights and the projector headlights that give emphasis to the sleek fascia of the RX5.

A fuel-efficient 1.5-liter turbocharged engine lies underneath the hood of the new MG RX5. For the Style and Alpha variants, the engine is  mated to a seven-speed twin-clutch Sportronic transmission that guarantees smooth and efficient power delivery.

The RX5 is also equipped with a front MacPherson Strut and rear multi-link suspension system that allows the vehicle to move seamlessly even on rough road surfaces as well as 18-inch two-toned alloy wheels (for the Style and Alpha variants) that provide the RX5 with trendy rollers for greater functionality and style.

The RX5 also takes pride in adequate headroom and legroom as well as versatile rear seats that feature a 60/40 split-fold function to efficiently fit oversized cargo.

Inside, the door inserts and the dashboard are polished in high-grade materials, while the multi-functional steering wheel offers well-focused safety and ergonomic convenience.

Entertainment is also one of the priorities in the design of the MG RX5. It banners an eight-inch touchscreen infotainment system that features Apple CarPlay connectivity and MG iLink software.

Furthermore, the RX5 is equipped with an electronic parking brake with autohold function, cruise control, push/start/stop, and passive keyless entry for a more convenient and hassle-free drive.
