The MG5 did not debut, as was expected, at the Guangzhou Auto Show two weeks ago. We did however see some pics of the new car completely naked. Now we take a step back in a way with new spy shots that show the MG5 with a camouflaged front during testing.

The MG5 is based on the same platform as the Roewe 350 sedan, it will be listed in early 2012 and will get the same 1.5 as the Roewe 350, mated to a 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic. A 1.5 turbo is on the cards but will be introduced at a later time. Price will start around 120.000 yuan. The MG5 is now expected to debut at the April 2012 Beijing Auto Show.
