The model was initially registered to Chinese authorities as the MG S5, but it was renamed to ES5 shortly before its introduction. [4] [5]

The ES5 made its official debut in China on 15 October 2024 and later started sales in China on 6 November 2024. [6] [7] [8]

The exterior of the ES5 adopts the brand's design philosophy. It features split headlights with an air intake, a split air intake on the grille, conventional grab door handles, silver roof rails, and the rear taillight bar mimics the front lights. [6]

The interior of the ES5 adopts a minimalistic approach. It has a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch floating screen, and the gear shifter used for the automatic transmission is mounted behind the steering wheel. The centre tunnel has a wireless charging pad, a pair of cupholders and additional storage space below the console. [8] The ES5 is powered by a rear-mounted 125 kW (168 hp; 170 PS) motor. It is based on SAIC’s Nebula battery electric architecture, with MacPherson struts for the front and a five-link independent suspension for the rear. The ES5 has a centre of gravity 530 mm (53 cm) and a 50-50 weight distribution between the front and rear axles. [8]
