Recently, MG Philippines has been going all-in on electrification. The Chinese carmaker opened its 2026 campaign with the plug-in hybrid G50 MPV, followed by two more PHEVs and a fully electric hatchback.
And now, the S5 electric crossover is on the horizon; however, MG might have an unexpected release up its sleeve. The Land Transportation Office recently published homologation papers for a curious MG GT Sport Turbo sedan, which packs a non-hybrid powertrain.
According to the listing, the GT utilizes a 1.5-liter mill, and from its name, we can infer that it is turbocharged. The newer specifications also show larger dimensions than the current GT, and a slightly lighter weight. Specifically, the new model measures 4,715mm in length, while the current GT is 4,675mm long.

However, because the two sedans share a similar engine, this could just be a facelift launch. At the same time, the GT has not seen an update since it debuted in 2022, making it benefit from an aesthetic refresh.
We can also expect this to be a silent release, as MG had previously done with the relatively new 5 Prestige sedan. While the brand has been focusing heavily on its electrified offerings, its gasoline-powered cars have not been forgotten.
If you’ve been waiting for a new GT, you may want to keep an extra sharp eye out for any news. At the same time, MG has yet to officially announce anything about a new sedan. We’ll be sure to post the latest updates when they come in.
