As the MG5 is the newly released sedan car, most of us will be questioning whether the new MG5 Sedan is better than any current sedan car that is popular in Malaysia. The dimensions for MG5 are 4,675 mm long and 1,842 mm wide (3 mm shorter and 40 mm wider than Honda CIVIC FE). The wheelbase is the same class as the Toyota Corolla (2,700 mm) and Honda CIVIC (2,735mm) and the boot size is 401 L.

This is the breakdown comparison between MG5 and a few of the popular sedans and the MG5 price is almost the same as other sedans. MG5 has more interesting technology and runs side by side with Proton S70 which makes it the closest competitor to the MG5. The other sedans also have their pros and cons on their own. The choice between all the sedans depends on the individual itself and their specific needs and references.
