The version we had the pleasure of piloting was the original CBU (fully imported) MG S5 EV LUX Long Range. Priced at RM135,900, this rear-wheel-drive (RWD) SUV featured a 62kWh battery pack, a single motor delivering 170PS (125kW) and 250Nm of torque, and a respectable WLTP range of around 430km. It is a car, as Careta puts it, that is an “SUV elektrik RWD, senyap tapi ‘berjiwa pemandu’” (RWD electric SUV, quiet but ‘driver focused’). The RWD layout, a rarity in its segment, provided a natural sense of balance and composure, refusing to be a dull, point-and-squirt appliance. <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="747" src="https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mg_cyberster2026-4.jpg-1-1024x747.jpeg" alt="" class="wp-image-2192" srcset="https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mg_cyberster2026-4.jpg-1-1024x747.jpeg 1024w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mg_cyberster2026-4.jpg-1-300x219.jpeg 300w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mg_cyberster2026-4.jpg-1-768x560.jpeg 768w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/mg_cyberster2026-4.jpg-1-1536x1121.jpeg 1536w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/u…

Races moved from the protected Kuah Harbour to the open waters south of the island. Relatively calm conditions combined with stronger winds made excellent conditions and what Principal Race Officer, Simon James; called “some of the best sailing we’ve seen”. Forecasts calling for a drop in wind speed were premature as winds died off in the evening long after races had finished. Two boats sadly could not race today. Rama-Rama VG in Racing Class , had technical problems and RSYC Sailing Team in Sportsboat Class was unable to join the third race. Both teams hope to be ready tomorrow. Race Highlights by Class Scores are a summation of place finishes for the day’s three races. Points for prior racing days are not included. Today races 3, 4, and 5 took place. Overall this means a perfect minimum score of 3 points to any team lucky enough to secure first place in all three races. <img decoding="async" width="1024" height="569" src="https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/RLIR2026-1024x569.jpg" alt="22nd Royal Langkawi International Regatta" class="wp-image-2142" srcset="https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/RLIR2026-1024x569.jpg 1024w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/RLIR2026-300x167.jpg 300w, https://homme.com.my/wp-content/uploads/2026/0…
