MG Malaysia is gearing up to launch a new model soon, as the company has officially opened registration of interest (ROI) for the MG S5 EV SUV.
What is the 2025 MG S5 EV?
If you have been following the Chinese EV scene closely, you would notice the familiarity of the MG S5 EV, as it is sold as the MG ES5 in China. Think of it as the SUV sibling to the MG4.
