MG Motor Philippines is furthering its electrification ambitions as it simultaneously unveils the new MG S5 EV and launches the MG New Energy Tour 2026, bringing its latest electrified vehicles and technologies closer to Filipino motorists.
Kicking off yesterday at the Trinoma Activity Center, the event marks both the Philippine debut of the MG S5 EV and the official start of MG’s nationwide New Energy roadshow. Together, the launch and tour reflect MG’s continued push to make electrified mobility more accessible, practical, and relevant to the everyday Filipino driver.
At the center of the occasion is the MG S5 EV, an all-electric compact that combines sporty rear-wheel-drive performance with the versatility of an SUV. The S5 EV is positioned to offer an electric driving experience that is engaging enough for enthusiasts while remaining practical for daily commutes, errands, family trips, and weekend drives.
Built on MG’s Modular Scalable Platform, the S5 EV boasts a range of up to 480 kilometers (WLTP) and a 0-100 km/h acceleration of just 6.3 seconds. DC fast charging from 10 to 80 percent can be done in as short as 26 minutes.
The exterior features a closed-off aerodynamic fascia, active cooling air flaps, and 18-inch alloy wheels, while the interior boasts a 12.8-inch infotainment system with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto and a 360-degree surround-view camera.
It has a 5-star safety rating and comes equipped with MG Pilot Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS).
The MG S5 EV has a retail price of Php 1,448,888.
While the S5 EV represents MG’s latest move into fully electric mobility, its arrival also forms part of a larger push to help Filipino motorists better understand and experience the growing range of New Energy technologies available today. This is where the MG New Energy Tour 2026 comes in.
Launching alongside the S5 EV in Manila, the nationwide roadshow will bring MG’s electrified lineup directly to motorists in different parts of the country. The tour will feature MG’s range of Hybrid+ (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid (PHEV), and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), giving visitors the opportunity to see the vehicles up close, explore their technologies, participate in interactive experiences, and get behind the wheel through test drives.
The roadshow will continue to different regions in the next months, bringing the New Energy experience to more communities and giving more Filipino motorists the opportunity to discover which type of electrified mobility best suits their lifestyle. For MG Philippines, the goal is to make New Energy mobility easier to understand and experience as the expanding range gives customers more choices when they consider their next vehicle.
The Trinoma tour leg marks the beginning of more than a new vehicle launch. It starts a nationwide conversation around how electrified mobility can become part of the way Filipinos drive every day. Customers, automotive enthusiasts, and the public are invited to join MG Motor Philippines at the Trinoma Activity Center to take a closer look at the new MG S5 EV and experience the MG New Energy Tour 2026.
