Equipment and practical details

MG 5 · Generation 1, AP12 · China · 03.2012 - 06.2018. These features occur in different versions of this generation. They are not a shared specification for every car: check the selected trim for the equipment you need and how it operates.

Generation and equipment description ↗

Folding rear seats
This changes the balance between passenger and luggage space. Check whether the folded surface is level and whether long items can pass through.
MacPherson front suspension
For a version with MacPherson front suspension, identify parts by body code and specification. The layout name alone does not establish that struts and springs are interchangeable.
Rear torsion-beam suspension
For a version with a rear torsion beam, confirm the suspension specification and mountings in the parts catalogue. Check the rear layout separately from the front suspension.
Rear-view camera
Check the image when reverse is selected and the area visible near the bumper. A camera does not replace checking around the car.
