2025 MG S5 EV: New ZS EV replacement becomes Australia's cheapest electric SUV

2025 MG S5 EV: New ZS EV replacement becomes Australia's cheapest electric SUV

7NEWS30-04-2025

MG has confirmed local pricing for its new S5 EV small electric SUV, positioning the replacement for the ZS EV as the cheapest battery-electric SUV now available in the country.
Hot on the heels of the second-generation MG ZS, which was released in hybrid and petrol forms in recent months, the new S5 EV will launch from $40,490 drive-away for the base Excite with a 49kWh battery, making it the most affordable vehicle of its kind (after on-road costs) ahead of the ultra-compact Hyundai Inster and familiar BYD Atto 3 Essential.
Other dearer rivals include the Geely EX5 Complete ($40,990 before on-road costs), Chery Omoda E5 BX (42,990 before on-road costs), Leapmotor C10 Style (45,888 before on-road costs), and Kia EV3 Air Standard Range ($47,600 before on-road costs).
Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now.
The S5 EV will be offered in two trim grades – Excite and Essence – each with the choice of either a 49kWh or 62kWh battery pack that delivers between 410km and 515km (NEDC) of driving range.
At the top of the range, the Essence 62kWh specification asks $47,990 drive-away – less than a base C10 or EV3.
However, the S5 EV is at least $3602 more than expensive than its ZS EV predecessor, which dropped to $36,888 drive-away during runout in early 2025.
To further incentivise early sales, MG will throw in a free 7kW MG Charge Hub valued at $1199 for the first 500 customers who place a refundable $500 deposit at their local MG dealership. Deliveries will commence next month.
The five-seat S5 EV employs the same mechanical platform as the popular MG 4 hatchback, but is significantly larger in almost all dimensions.
Variants with the 49kWh battery support a maximum DC fast-charging rate of 120kW, while the larger battery can handle up to 150kW. MG claims both can be replenished from 30 to 80 per cent in as little as 19 minutes.
All variants will feature a single electric motor driving the rear wheels and producing 125kW of power and 250Nm of torque, and are covered by MG's benchmark 10-year/250,000km warranty.
All S5 EV variants will feature an extensive list of standard equipment including:
10.25-inch digital instrument cluster
12.8-inch touchscreen infotainment system
Wireless smartphone mirroring
DAB+ digital radio
Satellite navigation
iSmart connected app services
Climate control with rear air vents
Mobile Bluetooth key
Keyless entry
AC charging cable
Vehicle-to-load (V2L) functionality
Essence variants add:
Rain-sensing wipers
Heated, leather-wrapped steering wheel
Panoramic sunroof
Power tailgate
Six-speaker sound system
Wireless phone charger
Voice control
Synthetic leather/fabric trim
Heated front seats
Power-adjustable driver's seat
Rear centre console
18-inch alloy wheels
Seven exterior paint colours will be available in Australia, and the Essence can also be had with the choice of either a black or white interior trim.
The MG S5 will also come with a comprehensive suite of advanced driver aids across both variants (see below), and MG is confident it will match the MG 4's five-star ANCAP rating.
Autonomous emergency braking (AEB)
Adaptive cruise control
Blind-spot monitoring
Driver monitoring system
Lane-keep Assist
Intelligent speed limit assist
Rear cross-traffic assist
Safe exit warning
7 airbags
Reversing camera
Rear parking sensors
Essence variants also get a surround-view camera.

2025 Renault Trafic price and specs

Renault has updated its mid-size Trafic commercial van, and the headline acts are additional safety gear and lightly tweaked styling. Prices are up by $490 range-wide, which means the French delivery van now starts at $49,490 before on-roads for the base Trafic SWB Pro manual and extends to $63,490 before on-roads for the full-fat Trafic LWB Crew Lifestyle. Tweaks include new Renault logos and a bulkhead with a glazed window, as well as a middle-seat work station and document holder with hidden laptop storage. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. New safety gear includes a driver attention monitor, autonomous emergency braking (AEB), a 'QR rescue code', an Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) shortcut button, and automatic bi-LED reflector-style headlights. Renault says the ADAS shortcut button provides "direct access to an on/off switch for ADAS features". It also unlocks a "perso" mode, which allows drivers to set up personal favourites to activate or deactivate certain features "at the press of a button". Similarly, the QR rescue code is a digitised barcode on the windscreen that allows first responders "quick access to the vehicle's structural and technical information in the event of a crash". Other changes include making a factory-fitted steel bulkhead standard, which features a glazed window to reduce road noise. This was previously an option on Trafic Pro van models. Weights and capacities vary by body type and are detailed below. There are two body lengths for the 2025 Trafic, with Crew variants sharing the same wheelbase and dimensions as LWB models. Crew variants offer six-seat passenger capacity, while the vans are fitted with a three-seat front bench.

2025 GWM Haval H6: Updated RAV4 rival nears Australian launch, packing more power

A refreshed GWM Haval H6 is set to launch later this month, and it will bring a more powerful petrol engine. Government approval documents seen by CarExpert show the updated mid-size SUV will continue to be powered by a turbocharged 2.0-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, but its power output has been boosted from 150kW to 170kW. Additionally, it ditches its seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission for a nine-speed dual-clutch auto. A torque figure isn't listed, but in China this powertrain produces 175kW and 385Nm. The latter represents a significant increase of 65Nm. Meantime, the Haval H6 Hybrid's 1.5-litre turbocharged four-cylinder petrol-electric powertrain appears unchanged. While total system outputs don't appear in the approval documents, the outgoing Haval H6 Hybrid produces 179kW and 530Nm. Hundreds of new car deals are available through CarExpert right now. Get the experts on your side and score a great deal. Browse now. Only front-wheel drive petrol and hybrid powertrains are listed in the certification documents, though GWM has previously indicated all-wheel drive hybrid versions and a plug-in hybrid powertrain will follow later in the year. Previously reported to be coming here in 2024, the facelifted Haval H6 rollout is set to start later this month. While GWM previously offered a PHEV version of the pre-facelift Haval H6 in its home market, a facelifted PHEV vehicle doesn't appear on its Chinese website. It's unclear, then, which powertrain the Haval H6 PHEV will use in our market – whether it's the heady 342kW/762Nm 1.5-litre turbo PHEV of the Haval H6 GT PHEV with its sub-5.0-second 0-100km/h time, or something more tame. In Thailand, for example, the Haval H6 PHEV features a 27.54kWh battery and total system outputs of 240kW and 530Nm. It has claimed electric-only range of 150km on the NEDC cycle, down from 180km on the more powerful H6 GT PHEV which uses a 35.4kWh battery. The updated Haval H6 adopts a new face with vertical LED daytime running lights – but largely unchanged headlights – and a grille consisting of dozens of metal-look rectangle trim pieces, rather reminiscent of the grille on the outgoing Hyundai Palisade or the upcoming MG U9. The full-width LED light bar at the rear has been replaced with separate tail-light clusters, with badging placed in between. The light bar lives on in facelifted Haval H6 models sold in Thailand. Inside, there's a new centre console design and steering wheel, while the carryover 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster now sits next to a larger 14.6-inch infotainment touchscreen. The current, third-generation Haval H6 debuted in 2020, and arrived in Australia in 2021 to replace the 2015-vintage model known in China as the H6 Coupe. A sleeker, coupe-style version of the current Haval H6, called the H6 GT, arrived here in 2022, followed by the PHEV version earlier this year. GWM Australia is adding another mid-size crossover SUV to its ranks in the third quarter of this year with the Haval H7. This shares its platform with the H6 and H6 GT but features a locking rear differential, a "light off-road cruising mode", and unique styling.
