The model was initially registered to Chinese authorities as the MG S5, but it was renamed to ES5 shortly before its introduction.[4][5] It made its official debut in China on 15 October 2024 and later started sales in China on 6 November 2024.[6][7][8]

Design

The exterior of the vehicle adopts the brand's design philosophy. It features split headlights with an air intake, a split air intake on the grille, conventional grab door handles, silver roof rails, and the rear taillight bar mimics the front lights.[6]

The interior of the ES5 adopts a minimalistic approach. It has a 10.25-inch LCD instrument cluster, a 15.6-inch floating screen, and the gear shifter used for the automatic transmission is mounted behind the steering wheel. The centre tunnel has a wireless charging pad, a pair of cupholders and additional storage space below the console.[8]
