The MG5 is probably one of the most anticipated compact cars (in China) in 2012. Developed on SAIC’s global A platform, the MG5 is basically a two-box, sporty version of the Roewe 350 sedan which was first released in April 2010. Both have a wheelbase of 2650mm. To describe the styling of MG5, SAIC created a vocabulary of "UK Design:" "Nimble-Flow" shape, "Civet Eye" headlights, "Driving Stream" body, "Surging Waves" side lines, "Brit-Allure" front face, "Span-Vibrant" interior, and "MaunaLoa" instrument cluster.
MG5 is equipped with a 1.5VTI-Tech L4 16V DOHC engine which can develop a maximum of 80kW of power, 109hp and 135Nm of torque; consumers can choose either a 5MT or 4AT to match it. Like the latest Roewe 350, the MG5 also comes with the optional feature of "iVoka," an updated, 3G version of the "inkaNet". SAIC describes iVoka as an intelligent in-car personal assistant, which can respond to a group of voice commands. The Android-based iVoka is linked to "clouds’ through 3G mobile networks. MG5 owners who choose this feature can download 400mm of data every month for free in the first two years.
MG5 comes with features including Front Macpherson & Rear H-shape torsion beam suspension, Power steering, Anti-pinch power windows, Speed-sensing power door locks, Multi-control leather steering wheel, 6-8 speakers, CD player with Aux/ iPod connectivity, inkaNet 3G System, iVoka, GPS, DVD Player, Cold Storage box, Bluetooth, Sunroof & much more.
