Of course, our featured
car here has to be from
a British brand. You may
argue that MG is now
owned by the Shanghai
Automotive Industry
Corporation, and hence
it should be considered
Chinese. But by that
logic, Jaguar should be
considered Indian now.
So yes, MG is still British,
the company’s ownership
be damned. The 5 is the
brand’s second hatchback
in our market, the other
one being the smaller 3.
This baby is powered by a
1.5-liter gasoline engine
(107hp and 135Nm) that
is mated to either a five-
speed stick shift or a four-
speed automatic trans-
mission. Test-drive one.

01 ENGINE DISPLACEMENT
AND FUEL TYPE
Before you go through the car’s other
specs, you need to be familiar with its
power source. Is it the right size for your
needs? Do you want gasoline or diesel?
02 POWER AND TORQUE
After determining your preferred engine
size and fuel type, you need to compare
cars within that group and find out which
one offers the best punch.
03 EXTERIOR DIMENSIONS
Ride comfort depends much on cabin
space, and cabin space depends much on
how big the vehicle is on the outside. So
take note of length, width and height.
