About the MG IM5
The MG IM5 is a premium electric executive liftback developed by SAIC's high-end IM Motors division to challenge the Tesla Model 3. The Long Range variant is the efficiency leader of the line-up, pairing a 100kWh battery with a single rear motor to achieve a WLTP range of 441 miles. It features a sophisticated 800V architecture that allows for 396kW DC rapid charging, enabling a 10-80% top-up in just 17 minutes. The cabin is defined by a massive 26.3-inch panoramic display and advanced 'Rainy Night Mode' AI visibility aids, reflecting MG's shift toward a more upscale, technology-driven market position.
