The MG 5 is a series of compact cars that has been produced by SAIC Motor under the MG marque since 2012. The first generation MG 5 was launched on 28 March 2012 in China, and shares the same automotive platform as the Roewe 350 saloon car.
In China, the first generation hatchback was sold as the MG 5, while the sedan was sold as the MG GT. The first-generation MG GT was also sold as the MG 5 in several markets.
The second-generation model is marketed as the MG 5 in China and Thailand, and either the MG 5 GT or MG GT elsewhere. For most markets outside China and Thailand, the MG 5 nameplate is used for a different model, which is the export version of the Roewe i5. Its battery electric version, the Roewe Ei5 is exported to Europe as the MG 5 EV.
