MG S5 EV: Australia’s Next Electric SUV Set to Arrive in 2025 – Available Soon at Tynan MG Sutherland

Excitement is building as MG’s next-generation electric SUV, the 2025 MG S5 EV, has been approved for sale in Australia. Set to replace the popular MG ZS EV, the S5 EV introduces a new name, advanced technology, and improved electric capabilities, all built on MG’s dedicated electric vehicle platform. Australian buyers can expect this stylish new SUV to arrive in showrooms by the second quarter of 2025 (April to June), including at Tynan MG Sutherland, your local MG specialist.

A New Name, A New Era

While MG’s home market calls this model the ES5, Australian government approval documents confirm it will be marketed locally as the MG S5 EV. Unlike the ZS EV – which shares its underpinnings with the petrol-powered ZS – the S5 EV sits on a dedicated electric-car platform shared with the MG 4 and the sporty Cyberster.

This shift to a pure EV platform brings enhancements in design, driving dynamics, and battery performance, offering buyers a smarter, more refined electric driving experience. To see this exciting new model in person as soon as it lands, be sure to visit Tynan MG Sutherland.

Comfort and Luxury Variants

The MG S5 EV will come in two model grades, referred to in documents as 'COM' (Comfort) and 'LUX' (Luxury). These are expected to align with the familiar Excite and Essence variants in MG’s Australian line-up.

Sleek and Spacious Design

Measuring 4476mm long, 1849mm wide, and 1621mm tall on a 2730mm wheelbase, the MG S5 EV is slightly larger than its main rival, the BYD Atto 3, and its predecessor, the ZS EV. This translates into improved cabin space for passengers and cargo alike.
