AutoExec Summary
The 2025 MG S5 electric small SUV, potentially replacing the current ZS EV, has been leaked online with images from the MIIT database. The new car shares design elements with the MG 4 hatchback, likely based on the same MSP platform for electric vehicles. It is larger than the ZS EV, positioning it closer to mid-size SUVs like the BYD Atto 3. The rear-wheel-drive S5 will feature a 125kW single electric motor, with potential for higher-spec variants. The car is expected to use lithium-iron phosphate batteries and offer equipment like alloy wheels and a panoramic sunroof. MG’s crossover models are expected to use an “S” suffix on an EV platform, while passenger cars will be numbered.
