Other versions

Since 2019, the MG5 nameplate is also used for a rebadged Roewe i5 for markets outside China due to the absence of the Roewe brand outside China.[11] In markets outside Europe, the MG5 nameplate is used for the petrol-powered Roewe i5 saloon, while the original MG5 is marketed as the MG GT or MG5 GT.

In Europe, electric Roewe Ei5 estate was introduced in 2020 as the MG5 EV or MG5 SW EV.[12][13][14] The MG5 EV was marketed as the first ever electric estate car in the UK market and was launched alongside the plug-in hybrid version of the HS crossover.[15][16]
