All the new entrants in the automotive industry have garnered a lot of attention from the general public but none have kept the enthusiasts on their toes like Morris Garages (MG) Pakistan has, primarily because of the remarkable social media exploits of its key stakeholder Javed Afridi.
Afridi’s latest post on Facebook features images of the brand new MG 5 sedan and asks for the public’s opinion on the price of the car.

The MG 5 is a D-segment family sedan that lies between the compact and subcompact sedan segments, which means it rivals both the Toyota Corolla and the Toyota Yaris.
While it undoubtedly is a handsome-looking sedan, the 2021 MG 5 seems to have borrowed numerous styling cues from European cars as it bears resemblance to the 2020 Fiat Tipo and the 2018 Ford Focus.
In the international market, the MG 5 can be acquired with a choice of one of two 1.5-liter SAIC four-cylinder engines. One is a naturally aspirated variant that makes 119 hp, while the other one is the turbocharged variant that makes 173 hp.

The naturally aspirated engine can be mated to either a 5-speed manual or a 4-speed automatic, while the turbocharged variant can be mated to either the same manual or a 6-speed automatic gearbox. Besides these, MG has plans to develop an all-electric version of the sedan as well.
The car made its international debut in September 2020, a few days before the Beijing Auto Show 2020, and received a lot of praise from motoring journalists for its sleek design.
Although details about the price point at which the MG 5 is to be sold in the international market are scarce, given its look and the list of features that it is likely to offer, the vehicle may be priced close to the new Toyota Corolla and the Honda Civic.
Afridi had teased the same car on his social media once before, but the images had been of an older version that is being sold in other countries as the ‘Roewe i5’. This begs the question of which version of the MG 5 will debut here, if at all.
If this comes for less than civic and corolla, this will crush their backs.
I mean just look at it. Look at that back. Just impressive.
Sir it’s very beautiful for average people they give you alote of 2ua,s.
Between 2.000 M to 2.5M
Seems like its gonna get a tag of around 3.5 million
Clearly copycat of hyundai i 30 fastback for the yellow one.
Overall boycott them for uyghurs.
But isin’t MG from UK?
It’s totally own buy china not like Proton or Volvo who are only partner.
Also in China in the top 3 most selling car brand there aren’t a single chinese brand, yes even in them own country.
Volvo is fully owned by china
Yes Volvo cars are fully own by Geely, China.
Only Proton is independant partner.
I Think MG-5 Price Rs.2,500,000/- To Rs.3,000,000/-
I think it’s 3.5 million
It’s awesome
Price between 20,00,000 to 2500000
The advertiser of MG is idiotically wasting time inviting comments on price..must have quoted the price
Sleek looking car with cool features, it would be an excellent alternate to Corolla and Civic, expected price 3.8M. Thumbs up to Afridi
It’s not the mater of price before that all dealers are CHOR just put Jahez profits on it and sold.
ammi bhook lagi hai.
beta MG kha lo.

2.5
2.5 to 2.8 Million. As other brands like KIA and Hyundai also launching Cerato and Elantra respectively. So being a Chinese car the price should be attractive to compete in the market.
JAnab d segment does NOT sit between compact and sub compact sedans. D segment is above them all. The largest of sedans. Camry and Accord are from D Segment. While Civic and Corolla are from C segment. City and Yaris are from B segment. Smaller cars are in A segment.
Janab yeah sub kuch internet per mojood hai. Please fact checking kar kay likha kairain. Takah apkay readers ko factual information milay. Shukriya.
The price range within 2.5 million is worthwhile otherwise the Changhan Alsvin won the race.
Price should be 21 to 25 max . Not more then that if u wana compete the Alsvin, city, yaris .. otherwise Alsvin ll win the market . Cuz here is lot of potential within this price range in market.
1st varient around 2.7M
And 2nd one is around 3.3M
