The MG5 EV listed on the MG Brunei website is not available. Exactly one unit ever reached Brunei: a single MG5 EV wagon imported in 2022, which took until 2026 to sell. The distributor confirmed in August 2026 that no pure MG EV is planned for Brunei.
The one that was
A single MG5 EV wagon arrived in Brunei in 2022, under the previous MG distributor. It sat unsold through the distributor handover to Premier Motor Co in February 2026 and finally sold in 2026, roughly four years after it landed. No second unit was ever brought in.
The page that stayed
The MG5 EV still has a live page on the distributor's website, a carry-over from the site handover, and search results still present the model as available in Brunei. It is not, and the surviving page may contribute to that incorrect answer. This is the pattern AutoPasar keeps finding across Brunei's car market: authoritative-looking web pages outliving the cars they describe, while the accurate answer exists only inside the showroom. When online sources conflict, AutoPasar uses the latest dated confirmation from the authorised distributor.
What it says about EV demand
One unit taking four years to sell is a data point on Brunei EV appetite that no forecast can argue with, and the distributor has acted on it: no pure MG EV is planned for the market. MG's electrification route in Brunei is plug-in hybrid instead; the MG HS PHEV has arrived and is open for booking at an expected BND 37,800, in a first shipment of 20 units.
