The MG5 is a sporty hatchback based on the same platform as the Roewe 350 sedan. The MG5 is expected in June 2012. It will get the same 1.8 and 1.8 turbo as the 350, mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. Price will start around 120.000 yuan. The production car lost most of the drama of the Concept 5 but overall the design is still very similar.
