MG has showcased the MG5 electric estate at the ongoing Auto Expo. It is a Kia Carens-sized electric estate that’s on sale in markets like the UK and Europe. Alongside these models, MG has also launched the Hector and Hector Plus facelifts.
MG 5 estate: exterior, interior and powertrain
The front-end design of the MG5 estate bears resemblance to the MG4 electric hatchback and features details like a closed-off grille that connects the LED headlights, angular air vents and the charging port. Along the sides, the MG5 sports 17-inch wheels, roof rails and a prominent shoulder line that spans the entire width of the car. The rear of the MG5 is quite conventional – a wraparound tail-light with Y-shaped LED elements that are connected via a chrome strip and a sculpted tailgate.
