The MG ES5 features a modern interior. It has a digital instrument cluster and a giant central touchscreen. The cabin color scheme remains black, with silver trim adding some contrast.

MG offers the new ES5 with multiple battery packs in China. The largest has 62.2 kWh and promises a range of 525 km.
