Under the ‘Extraordinary Promos,’ the MG 5 Core Plus is made available with a cash discount of Php 55,000. This means that the model can now be availed of at a much more affordable Php 683,888, from the Php 738,000 SRP (suggested retail price). A low down payment deal of Php 63,000 is also included for the sedan in the promo.

The MG 5 Core Plus is based on the mid-spec CVT Core, coming with new features such as a 10-inch infotainment screen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and two more speakers. It is also now equipped with a reverse camera which can help drivers back their sedan up into a parking space more easily.

Powering the vehicle is the standard 1.5-liter inline-4 gasoline engine capable of generating 112 horsepower and 150 Nm of torque. MG Philippines equipped the new variant with a continuously variable transmission (CVT), which is said to be generally more fuel-efficient as compared to those types that utilize gears.
