This Chinese Crossover comes with a 1.5-litre 4-cylinder Petrol engine that generates 169 horsepower and 250 Nm of torque. The MG RX5 is well-regarded for its spacious interior and advanced safety features, making it a popular choice among families in the UAE.
For the United Arab Emirates, the average price of the RX5 across all versions is AED 59,380. Factoring in an annual depreciation rate of 35%, we expect the 1.5T Standard to cost AED 34,450 on the
used car market by next year.
With a 55-litre fuel tank and an average consumption of 6L per 100 kilometers, filling the 1.5T Standard up will cost you approximately AED 99.0, based on the current fuel price of AED 1.8 per liter for unleaded gasoline 95. With an average commute of 25,000 kilometers per year, you would need 9 fill-ups, totaling AED 5,445.
