Overview
The MGS6 EV is MG's flagship D-segment electric SUV, sitting almost at the top of the brand's electric lineup above the MGS5 EV. Underpinned by SAIC's Modular Scalable Platform shared with the MG4 EV and MG Cyberster, it targets popular family crossovers like the Skoda Enyaq, Volkswagen ID.4, and Kia EV5. Offering a large cabin, high equipment levels, and strong value for money, the MGS6 positions itself as a practical, accessible option for buyers seeking maximum space and range without a premium price tag.
Design
The exterior design of the MGS6 EV adopts a modern, streamlined crossover shape measuring 4.7 metres long. Up front, it takes styling inspiration from the MG Cyberster, featuring a sharply sculpted front end, slim daytime running lights, and distinctive headlights above a polished silver MG logo. The side profile reveals a long 2,835 mm wheelbase with smooth bodysides, flush-fitting accents, and 20-inch alloy wheels. At the rear, the design incorporates a full-width light bar and a clean bumper that gives the vehicle a wide stance.
Interior
The cabin is focused on digital integration and passenger comfort, featuring soft-touch materials and suede-effect accents throughout. The dual-screen dashboard layout pairs a 10.25-inch digital driver instrument cluster with a central 12.8-inch HD infotainment touchscreen that supports wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Tactile physical controls for climate and volume remain below the main display. Highlights include an integrated Head-Up Display, a 50W cooled wireless phone charging pad, an available 1.96m² panoramic glass roof, and an 11-speaker audio system on higher trims. High-spec models feature heated and ventilated vegan leather and suede seating up front, alongside heated outer rear seats.
Performance & Powertrains
All MGS6 EV variants use an ultra-thin 77 kWh NMC battery pack built into the chassis. The standard single-motor RWD powertrain produces 244 hp and 350 Nm of torque, enabling a 0-62 mph acceleration time of 7.3 seconds and a range of 329 miles. The flagship Trophy Dual Motor variant adds a front electric motor to deliver a combined 361 hp and 540 Nm of torque, sprinting from 0-62 mph in 5.1 seconds with a range of 301 miles. Maximum DC rapid charging capability is rated at 144 kW, enabling a 10% to 80% recharge in approximately 38 minutes at a 150 kW public charger. The chassis relies on a multi-link rear suspension setup tuned for ride comfort over long distances rather than aggressive cornering dynamics.
Practicality
Interior space is a key strength due to the flat floor design and long wheelbase. Boot capacity stands at 674 litres with the 60/40 rear seats upright, expanding to 1,910 litres with the rear seats folded flat. RWD models additionally offer a 124-litre frunk underneath the bonnet for storing charging cables and smaller items, while dual-motor models feature a slightly reduced frunk capacity to accommodate the front motor. Storage throughout the main cabin includes 30 distinct stowage compartments, a large central console cubby, and a floating shelf beneath the center console.
Buying
Pricing starts from £37,995 for the entry SE Long Range, rising to £40,995 for the Trophy Long Range and topping out at £43,995 for the flagship Trophy Dual Motor. Standard safety equipment across all models includes the full MG Pilot suite of advanced driver assistance systems, featuring adaptive cruise control, lane keep assist, blind-spot monitoring, and a 360° camera system, contributing to a full five-star Euro NCAP safety rating. The EV Hub recommended configuration is the Trophy Long Range. This single-motor RWD setup yields the maximum 329-mile range while retaining the full 124-litre frunk, while the Trophy trim upgrades the cabin experience with ventilated front seats, heated rear seats, the panoramic glass roof, and the 11-speaker audio system.
