The two cars making MG cool again: IM5 vs IM6

MG has two new cars and they are making the sensible, affordable brand cool. The IM cars are part of a new Intelligence in Motion line.

Never paid any attention to anything topgear has ever said!

Same here, usually utter nonsense.

But that doesn't make their opinion wrong, does it ?

No, but it is just an opinion. I will drive a IM6 and make my own mind up.

Any ideas when test drives start?

Any ideas when test drives start?

Dealers are due to get their demonstrators from around the middle of next week. They'll need PDI, valet, registration plates, so hopefully if they arrive early-ish then they may be available to test drive from the weekend (6th/7th September).

Happily, we've got branches in Blackpool, Burnley and Chorley. So you're nice and local for a test drive.

I drove the MG IM5 and MG IM6 down at Millbrook Proving Ground yesterday, and was very impressed indeed. For me, the MG IM5 Long Range is probably the pick of the bunch (in terms of pricing, range, and kit), but the Performance variants were quite compelling to drive.

I hit 130mph on the bowl, and it was still pulling strongly. If I'd not had a track marshall heading the convoy, I'd have kept going

Affinity prices are out.
Around £8500 off list.

Confusing as they only appear to offer an ‘Estate’! I thought MG describe it as an SUV?

But then Miles few will be buying it for track day and get to use smooth tarmac. But driving their cars on British pot holed roads, and its there were reviewers feedback carries value.

I've just driven the IM6 Launch Edition over 140 miles today, over fells and narrow country roads around the Trough of Bowland.

I found the ride compliant and comfortable, not too bumpy (despite 21" wheels), and roadholding was great.

Popped it onto an Ionity charger and went from 9% to 79% charge in 17 minutes. Top power was 345kW (it was rated as a 350kW charger).

Top speed I saw (on a private section of road) was 133mph. Still pulling strongly!

You all are in for a big surprise.I got my IM6 last July, There were some teething problems at first, but all is well now. I think that this being a new car, especially in Thailand, that much of the infrastructure was not completed. No one at the dealership knew much about the car in order to instruct me a little. In addition, the owner’s manual is pretty much content free. It’s about 80% what you can’t do, 15%what you can do, and 2% how to do it. The remainder is just garbage. All that said, I love the car. It’s comfortable, very quiet, and a veritable rocket. Some real surprises, an e-Sim with a 5 year subscription allows internet access as well as a hot spot for your phone to use. The LKA (lane keeping assistance) Pilot system is very close to self driving, very close! Impressive! The dash is devoid of any switchgear, everything is done through the two touchscreens. There are only five buttons, a door latch release on each armrest, and a door lock/unlock on the driver’s door. The only mechanical release I can find is the frunck. The incredible array of settings is impressive though a bit intimidating at first. I appreciate the fact that all of the variables are available, even if most of them are set-and-forget. For compare, it cost £32K, the cheap one. Enjoy folks and join the IM6 forum if you get one.

There's a mechanical door release in the rear of each door storage pocket too

Excellent, thanks for that tip, it’s good to know. Something new learned almost every day with this car.

A very interesting car with some advanced features - if only the dealership service can match it!
