2025 MG5 Range Reduced, New Entry Variant Pricing

Best Price?
CarSauce Buy 2.0 is out now.

Pricing for the updated 2025 MG MG5 is here, with the budget sedan now starting from $32,990 driveway. 

The naturally-aspirated entry-level Vibe variant has been dropped, with the turbocharged Essence variant now the only trim level being offered for MG’s sedan.

This makes the 1.5-litre turbo four-cylinder the sole powertrain option, with outputs of 119kW and 250Nm. 

Previously, the MG 5 Vibe started at $24,990 drive away, while the Essence trim level started at $29,990.

While the Vibe will no longer be offered, as of June 2025 it is still in run-out.

Notably, the 2025 MG 5 arrives with an updated safety package — as promised — after it received a zero-star ANCAP safety rating in 2023. 

The new safety package includes front and rear outboard seatbelt pre-tensioners, seatbelt reminders for both front and rear seats, an updated AEB (Autonomous Emergency Breaking) system, lane-keep assist, emergency lane-keeping and lane departure warning.  

The MG 5 has since been retested by ANCAP and upgraded to three stars; offering improved adult, child and vulnerable road user protection ratings for cars sold from June 2025 onwards.

Styling and interior updates were unveiled for the facelifted MG 5 in 2024, however at this stage, it seems the new car coming to Australian showrooms will arrive without these updates. 

The 2025 MG 5 will be arriving in Australian dealerships soon according to MG.
