Mg S5 EV Price in Nepal 2026

The MG S5 EV utilizes a lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery pack, developed by the SAIC-CATL partnership. It features one of the world's thinnest battery designs at just 110mm, which maximizes cabin space. The 49.1 kWh unit offers a WLTP range of approximately 340 km, while the larger 62.2 kWh Long Range variant extends this to 430 km (WLTP). The battery supports DC fast charging from 10% to 80% in approximately 24 to 28 minutes.

The S5 EV is equipped with a high-efficiency Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM). The standard variant produces 125 kW (roughly 170 bhp), while the high-performance Long Range variant pushes the output to 170 kW (231 PS). This motor is mounted on the rear axle, providing a spirited rear-wheel-drive experience that distinguishes it from many FWD competitors in the compact SUV segment.

Torque delivery is instantaneous, a hallmark of its electric powertrain. The 49.1 kWh version delivers a peak torque of 250 Nm, providing smooth urban maneuverability. The 62.2 kWh variant increases this to 350 Nm, significantly improving mid-range punch and overtaking capability on highways.

Performance varies by motor and battery configuration. The standard 49.1 kWh model completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in 8.2 seconds. However, the 170 kW Long Range version is considerably faster, clocking in at just 6.3 seconds, placing it among the quickest in the budget-friendly electric SUV category.

Like most modern EVs, the MG S5 uses a single-speed reduction gear transmission. This eliminates the need for shifting, providing a seamless and linear power delivery from standstill to top speed. The system is controlled via a rotary gear selector on the center console.

Shifting from the FWD layout of the previous ZS EV, the S5 utilizes a Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) configuration thanks to the MSP platform. This setup improves traction during acceleration and allows for a 50:50 weight distribution, which significantly enhances the vehicle's handling and steering feel.

The MG S5 EV falls into the compact SUV segment. Its 4.47-meter length makes it easy to park in urban environments, while the 1.84-meter width ensures a spacious cabin. The height is optimized for aerodynamic efficiency while maintaining a commanding SUV stance.

The vehicle offers a respectable ground clearance of up to 180 mm (depending on the wheel size and load), which is sufficient for light trails and typical road obstacles. This clearance is achieved despite the under-floor battery pack, thanks to the slim design of the cells.

The MG S5 EV has achieved a full 5-star safety rating. In Euro NCAP testing, it scored 90% for Adult Occupant Protection and 82% for Child Occupant Protection. It comes standard with the MG Pilot suite, which includes Active Emergency Braking, Lane Keep Assist, and Adaptive Cruise Control.

The dashboard is dominated by a 12.8-inch high-definition floating touchscreen. It supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. In higher trims, the system includes integrated apps like Spotify and YouTube, powered by the vehicle's internal data connection.

MG provides a comprehensive 7-year or 150,000 km warranty (varying slightly by region, e.g., 8 years for the battery in some markets). The battery itself is IP67 rated for water and dust resistance, and the "One-Pack" battery technology is designed to prevent thermal runaway through advanced cooling channels.
