The event brought together SAIC Motor Malaysia's management team and eager customers, fostering a vibrant sense of community and strengthening ties between the MG brand and its supporters.

The success of this handover was achieved through the seamless cooperation of more than 18 Authorized MG Motor Dealers strategically located across Malaysia.

These dealerships played an essential role in ensuring quick deliveries to customers, aligning with SAIC Motor Malaysia’s mission to cater to the ever-growing automotive market.

“MG5 has captured the interest of buyers prioritizing style and personality, and we are thrilled to celebrate this achievement with our customers,” said Lee Wen Hsiang, Chief Operating Officer of SAIC Motor Malaysia. “This event provided a valuable opportunity for direct interaction, where we listened to customer feedback and gauged satisfaction levels. Initiatives like this not only enhance our service but also strengthen the MG community.”

The MG5 offers outstanding value as the largest sedan in its segment, boasting a sporty design, spacious interior, and one of the best warranties in the market.

New MG5 owners enjoy a 5-year unlimited mileage warranty, along with a 7-year unlimited mileage powertrain warranty, making it a class-leading guarantee.

To commemorate MG’s 100th anniversary, an introductory rebate of RM7,000 is currently available, pricing the MG5 at an attractive RM83,900. This incentive provides an added boost for prospective buyers considering joining the MG family.

The MG5 is a sporty looking C-segment sedan that was launched in Malaysia in October 2024 and is priced competitively at RM93,900 without the rebate.

It has a striking fastback silhouette, spacious interior, and advanced tech features, including a 10.25-inch touchscreen and digital instrument cluster, make it a compelling choice in its segment.

The car is powered by a 1.5-litre naturally aspirated engine paired with a CVT and is equipped with MG’s Pilot safety suite for comprehensive driver assistance, offering a balance of style, safety, and affordability.
