The MG S5 EV gains a new variant in Malaysia with the addition of the MG S5 Com to the line-up, serving as the base variant and priced at RM104,468 on-the-road without insurance.
The MG S5 EV Com – short for Comfort – gets a more modestly specified powertrain and battery, with a 49 kWh battery offering up to 340 km of range (WLTP). For comparison, the existing MG S5 Lux variant, priced at RM117,528, gets a 62 kWh battery for up to 446 km of range (WLTP).
Motive power in the Com variant is a 170 PS/250 Nm motor, down from the 203 PS/350 Nm figures of the Lux variant, while DC fast charging is 120 kW in the Com, instead of the 150 kW offered in the Lux.
AC charging is unchanged at 7 kW, though the lower motor outputs mean a 0-100 km/h time of eight seconds for the Com (seven seconds for the Lux).
Elsewhere, differences in specification see the Com variant get fabric seat upholstery (ventilated leatherette in the Lux), 17-inch black alloy wheels on 215/60R17 tyres (18-inch alloys on 225/55R18 tyres on the Lux), and the omission of a panoramic sunroof.
Also left out from the Com are the powered tailgate with kick sensor, 360-degree view camera (reverse camera on the Com), rain-sensing wipers, rear seat reading lamp, wireless phone charging, and rear centre armrest. The ventilated and powered front seats on the Lux are manually adjusted on the Com (six-way for the driver, four-way for the front passenger).
In terms of safety equipment, both the Com and Lux variants of the MG S5 EV in Malaysia are equipped with seven airbags, and the MG Pilot ADAS 2.5 suite of driving assistance systems which includes Traffic Jam Assist and Intelligent Cruise Control.
As with the Lux variant, the MG S5 EV Com is locally assembled in Pegoh, Melaka, and both are sold with a seven-year/150,000 km vehicle warranty, an eight-year/180,000 km battery pack warranty, and an eight-year/160,000 km motor control unit warranty. As part of a launch offer, the MG S5 EV Com is sold with a RM3,000 rebate and a complimentary wallbox charger.

Well. Enough is enough for all these non sellable cars from china.
MG S5 Rahmah but for the price and features, better get Protong eMAS 5
not so bad, 8s to 100km/h.
It’s more like MG S5 CON (not Com). Basic features, might as well get Leapmotor B10.
