Paramount Motors, the authorized distributor of MG vehicles in Nepal, has launched the all-new MG S5 EV to meet the growing demands of the EV market in Nepal.

MG launched the S5 EV in October 2024, catching the international EV market by surprise. The automaker managed to keep the vehicle under wraps, shrouding it in secrecy until its official debut.

Nepal is the first country outside of China to launch the MG S5 EV, which will be available globally starting in April 2025. It is the successor to the highly successful MG ZS EV, which sold over 2500 units in Nepal.

MG S5 EV rivals BYD Atto 3.

The S5 EV and Atto 3 share the same motor capacity, delivering similar performance.

Their battery sizes are also comparable, though the S5 EV features a thinner battery pack, which could offer a theoretical advantage over the Atto 3—though its real-world impact remains to be seen.

The Atto 3 has one notable difference to consider.

Unlike the Atto 3, which features Front-Wheel Drive, the S5 EV offers a Rear-Wheel Drive option. This difference means that the S5 EV is more effective in handling uphill climbs and rough terrain conditions in Nepal.

Meanwhile, both the ZS EV and Atto 3 have already established themselves as strong competitors in Nepal’s electric SUV market. With the arrival of the S5 EV, MG Nepal aims to expand its appeal and further solidify its position in the segment.
