The electric SUV market is getting louder by the month, but every now and then something arrives that makes you stop scrolling and pay attention. The all-new MG MGS6 EV is one of those. It is the kind of car that feels familiar for anyone who has seen MG’s recent EV success, yet it carries enough fresh engineering to feel like the start of a new chapter. This is MG entering the grown-up league. Bigger platform. Bigger battery. More space. More refinement. And a driving experience that feels engineered rather than improvised. If MG wanted to prove it can build a proper family EV that also has a touch of shine, this might be the moment.
A New Chapter For MG: What Makes This SUV Matter
MG calls the MGS6 EV a C segment SUV, but it feels wider in ambition. It sits on the brand’s Modular Scalable Platform. The same base that made the MG4 a sleeper hit. The platform brings the thin 110 mm battery, better interior packaging and improved structural rigidity. The result is a car that feels properly engineered from the ground up. Families will appreciate the space. Tech lovers will appreciate the dual screen cockpit. Anyone nervous about EV range will like the numbers. And enthusiasts who want more shove can look to the dual motor Trophy model.
Highlights
• Uses MG’s next generation modular platform
• 77 kWh battery for long distance comfort
• Three trims for three types of buyers
• Handsome exterior with improved aerodynamics
• Up to 329 miles or 529 km of WLTP range
Design And Build: Modern, Aerodynamic and Grown Up

MG spent serious time refining the aerodynamics of this SUV. Over 900 simulation rounds and 5000 minutes of wind tunnel testing got the drag coefficient down to 0.27. That is impressive for a large family EV. It shows in the details. The active grille shutters. The low resistance wheel covers. The sharp shoulder line. Even the rear light bar is shaped to squeeze out a bit more range.
Design highlights
• Split grille inspired by the Cyberster
• Active aerodynamic shutters
• New 19 inch and 20-inch alloy wheel options
• Strong body structure with over 80 percent high strength steel
• New Stratford Gold colour option
The proportions give it road presence without being bulky. The stance feels closer to a premium brand than a budget player.
Interior, Comfort and Everyday Usability

MG has gone for a grown-up cabin instead of a flashy one. It feels clean and well put together. Soft touch materials are used in the right places. The floating 12.8-inch touchscreen and 10.25-inch driver display feel modern without being overwhelming. There are physical knobs for climate and audio. A welcome choice for buyers tired of touchscreen dependence.
Interior highlights
• Suede and leather style seat choices
• Spacious second row with excellent knee room
• 674 litres of boot space plus a 124-litre frunk
• 11 speaker audios on Trophy models
• Wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto
The seats are comfortable on long drives. Visibility is good. And the thin battery allows a low floor that improves rear passenger posture. Small details like hidden vents and a well-designed console area make this cabin feel intentional rather than generic.
Performance And Driving Feel
The MGS6 EV comes in two main personalities. The Long-Range rear wheel drive version caters to sensible buyers. It has 180 kW of power, smooth torque delivery and a WLTP range of 529 km. The Trophy Dual Motor aims at drivers who want a bit more shove. This one hit 266 kW and does 0 to 100 km/h in 5.1 seconds. That is warm hatch territory in a family SUV body.
Performance quick facts
• 180 kW RWD or 266 kW AWD
• 77 kWh battery across all versions
• 0 to 100 km/h in 7.3 seconds (RWD) or 5.1 seconds (AWD)
• Top speed capped at 200 km/h
• Five driving modes and five regen modes
Ride comfort benefits from the MacPherson front and multilink rear suspension. The chassis feels stable in corners. The steering feels predictable. The AWD version automatically shifts between modes when grip reduces, which makes wet roads feel simple to manage.
Seating Comfort

MG has made rear passenger comfort a priority in the MGS6 EV. Adults have generous legroom and headroom, even with the panoramic sunroof fitted. The rear bench reclines slightly for added comfort on long journeys. Practical touches include:
- Well-contoured seats that support long trips
- Easy access to ISOFIX child seat mounts
- Rear passengers have their own vents for climate control
- Plenty of storage pockets for small items
Boot Space and Practicality

The MGS6 EV is not just spacious inside; it also offers impressive storage solutions. Boot space is generous and easy to use, making it ideal for families or weekend adventures. Key features include:
- 674 litres of main boot space, expandable to 1910 litres with rear seats folded
- Low loading floor and wide opening for hassle-free packing
- 124 litre front “frunk” for cables, electronics, or smaller luggage
- Multiple compartments and storage solutions around the cabin for everyday essentials
Battery, Charging and Efficiency
MG quotes 38 minutes for a 10 to 80 percent charge on a rapid public charger. The efficiency is supported by the KERS regeneration system, low rolling resistance design and aerodynamic work.
Battery and charging summary
• 77 kWh usable capacity
• 529 km WLTP in RWD models
• 485 km WLTP in AWD Trophy
• 10 to 80 percent charge in 38 minutes
• Several regen modes including One Pedal
Useful for drivers who cover long distances without wanting too many stops.
Safety And Assistance Technology
The MGS6 EV already has a 5-star Euro NCAP rating. The structure, airbag coverage and driver monitoring system all perform well. MG Pilot is the bundled driver assistance suite.
Safety highlights
• 92 percent score for adult occupants
• Seven airbags
• Blind spot detection
• Lane keeping suite
• Intelligent speed limit assistance
• Driver monitoring system
MG also lets drivers customise which assistance features they want active. A good choice for people who like control.
Problem Agitate Solution: The EV Range Anxiety Issue
The problem
Many buyers fear EVs will not match their lifestyle. Families think they will run out of charge on long trips. Daily commuters think charging times will slow them down.
The agitation
These fears grow because early EVs had limited ranges. Some were too small. Others had poor charging speeds. The market remembers these issues.
The solution
The MGS6 EV tackles this directly. It offers a long-range battery. It has efficient aerodynamics. It charges quickly on public networks. And the AWD model gives confidence in difficult weather. The car removes friction from EV ownership. That is the real achievement.
