MG IM6

The MG IM6 is a pure electric SUV that MG describes as intelligent, with supercar-level power wrapped in a flowing body. It is the SUV sibling of the IM5 saloon, and it uses the same 800V approach to charging. A 100 kWh battery and a large boot make it a car for long family trips as well as quick ones.

Performance, battery and charging

The dual-motor version has 751 hp from what MG calls the Hurricane Motor and reaches 62 mph in 3.5 seconds. Its 100 kWh battery pack is quoted at up to 388 miles (624 km) of WLTP combined range. MG says a 10 to 80 percent charge takes 17 minutes, measured on a 350 kW ultra-fast charger under standard test conditions. Real-world times depend on the charger, the temperature and the age of the battery, and 350 kW chargers may be limited depending on where you live.

Technology and handling

One-Touch iAD is standard and handles parking, pulling out, kerbside parking and reversing, which MG presents as a way to ease manoeuvres in tight spaces. Rainy Night Mode combines radar, cameras and other sensor data to show pedestrians and vehicles on screen when visibility is poor. Four-wheel steering is fitted as standard and gives a turning circle of 10.18 metres. Intelligent Comfort Stop is described as a way to take the jerk out of braking in slow traffic.

Cabin and space

An ultra-wide 26.3 inch touch screen switches between light and dark modes. Wireless Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and wireless phone charging are listed. The ultra soft leather-style seats are heated and ventilated, and a panoramic glass roof and double-layer soundproof glass feature. Rear seat backrests are adjustable. Luggage space is 665 litres in the boot, plus a 32 litre front compartment and a hidden compartment under the boot floor.
