From the information I've seen it will have the same battery options as the MG4 (as it's built on the same platform, and already available in China), So 49, (formerly 51), 64 and 77 kwh battery packs

I hope when it gets over here they bring out a bigger battery version.
If they do it would be ideal for my needs, all I wanted was a mg5 with rear wheel drive and a 70+kwh battery at a reasonable price point
Here's hoping!

As @EvTek23 said, it's using the MG4's drivetrain, so I fully expect a 77kWh "extended range" version to appear.

I found it here:
MGS5 EV
Looks like they have a 62kWh LFP and a relatively weak motor on the models advertised so far (99kW).
That matches the power of the Nepalese MG4, which is lower than the UK models.

The MG 4 hatchback was a smash hit. Now there's a bigger, better version | Autocar
Follow-up to the MG 4 is an electric crossover to take on the Kia EV3 and Skoda Elroq

MGS5 EV review | Auto Express
MG’s conservatively styled B-segment SUV delivers on most counts, but it lacks a bit of flair

The motor and battery options are the same as the MG4, then.
Though it is a bigger heavier car so less nippy and range will be less.
Colours are similar to MG4 but a darker blue (like the ZS) and a silver option.
Seems competitively priced against things like the Puegeot 3008.

It actually is slight more powerful with the long range battery as opposed to the MG4 and has a quicker 0-60 time,
The Picadilly Blue on the S5 is the old MG5 colour and the Silver is the same as the ZS and MG3 models

I mean, why didn't they do a quick version ala the Audi SQ5?
I would have been more interested.
Be good to see the 'better' interior coming though the range.

shame, i was hoping for an ER on launch otherwise i might be temped elsewhere.
With many other marques releasing larger batteries this year (the Peugeot 99kWh as an example) i really was hoping for a 350+mile range in at least one of the models

I'm pretty sure an ER and X-Power versions will come, they just don't want to launch all of that at once. I'd actually be more interested in a basic 4wd version, but I doubt they will do that.

I like the current styling of the Peugeot range, as mentioned by @deviousrich but for me I just can't get on with thier very low slung steering wheel position. In the normal hatch range it really is in your lap, the SUV's might be a bit better as they have more height. The steering wheel is very low as they have the driver display above the wheel rather than looking through the top of the wheel like most other designs.

The electrifying review reported that a 4wd performance car is coming, so equivalent of the XPower.
Some brands start with the high-end version (Renault 5) while MG start with the standard version. I guess it is based on where they think the demand for the car is going to be.
