MG S5 EV Launching Soon: New Electric SUV Set to Hit India in October 2025

The electric vehicle market in India is buzzing with excitement, and MG Motor is all set to make a major impact with its upcoming MG S5 EV. Expected to launch in October 2025, this new electric SUV is designed to replace the aging MG ZS EV  and take MG’s electric lineup to a whole new level.

A New Chapter in MG’s EV Journey

The MG S5 EV marks a significant step forward as it is set to replace the popular MG ZS EV. With a fresh design and updated features, the S5 EV is built to cater to the evolving demands of Indian consumers. The exterior sports a sleek, dynamic look with a bold front fascia, split-type LED headlights, and an aggressive bumper design. Inside, the cabin offers a spacious layout with a large touchscreen infotainment system, digital instrument cluster, and comfort features like heated and ventilated seats.

Under the hood, the MG S5 EV is expected to house a rear-axle-mounted electric motor that delivers smooth acceleration—potentially reaching 0 to 100 km/h in around 8 seconds. An upgraded battery pack is designed to provide a range of over 500 km on a single charge, making the S5 EV an ideal option for both city driving and long-distance journeys.

The MG S5 EV is expected to be priced around ₹27 lakh, making it a highly competitive option in India’s electric SUV market.

Facing the Competition

The MG S5 EV will be entering a competitive electric SUV segment. Here’s a look at some of its key rivals:

Hyundai Creta Electric

This model offers dual battery options with flexible range choices and is known for its advanced safety and convenience features. Its sleek design and urban-friendly performance have made it a popular choice among buyers.

Tata Curvv EV:

 With modern technology integration and long-range battery options, the Curvv EV focuses on connectivity and efficiency. It appeals to tech-savvy consumers looking for a futuristic driving experience.

Mahindra BE 6:

 Built on a futuristic platform, the BE 6 boasts robust performance, spacious interiors, and a suite of advanced features. It is designed to provide both power and style.

Maruti e-Vitara:

 Developed with a focus on affordability and reliability, the upcoming e-Vitara is expected to deliver essential features without compromising on performance, making it an attractive option in this segment.

Each of these models brings unique strengths to the table, and the MG S5 EV will need to excel in design, performance, and technology to stand out in this competitive market.

MG Motor’s Vision for the Future

A representative from MG Motor India recently said, "Our vision for the MG S5 EV is to lead the charge in the electric mobility revolution in India. We aim to offer unmatched performance, design, and technology that will set new benchmarks in the electric SUV segment." This commitment to innovation is at the core of MG Motor’s strategy, as the brand looks to replace the MG ZS EV with a model that meets modern standards and consumer expectations.

Looking Ahead

The MG S5 EV is poised to be a game-changer in India's electric vehicle market. With its modern design, powerful performance, and a competitive price point, it is set to capture the attention of consumers eager for sustainable and stylish transportation. As it prepares to replace the MG ZS EV, the S5 EV will have to contend with strong competitors like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, Mahindra BE 6, and the Maruti e-Vitara.
