The front of the vehicle features a striking wide three-dimensional geometric grille flanked by sleek, full crystal LED headlamps with C-shaped daytime running lights. The rear design echoes the front with a solid, stable stance.

Inspired by the intelligence and originality of home design, the MG RX5’s cabin offers a natural and comfortable space.
