MG IM6 - A Smart Electric SUV with Style and Substance
Overview and Lineage
The MG IM6 is a fully electric compact SUV developed by IM Motors, MG’s premium EV sub-brand under SAIC Motor. It shares the same platform and technology as the IM5 executive saloon, but wraps it in a taller, more SUV-friendly body. The IM6 brings MG's design forward with a focus on practicality, tech, and modern style.
Design and Trim Variants
The IM6 is offered in multiple trims to suit different driving needs:
- Standard Range - Rear wheel drive, 75 kWh battery, approximately 217 kW (295 PS), 450 Nm torque. WLTP range is around 300 miles, with 0-62 mph in about 6.9 seconds.
- Long Range - Rear wheel drive, 100 kWh battery, approximately 300 kW (408 PS), 500 Nm torque. WLTP range is around 440 miles, with 0-62 mph in about 5 seconds.
- Performance - Dual motor all wheel drive, 100 kWh battery, around 553 kW (742 PS), 802 Nm torque. 0-62 mph in around 3.3 seconds. WLTP range is around 355 miles.
Launch and Availability
The IM6 debuted alongside the IM5 at the 2025 Goodwood Festival of Speed, and has since been made available in key markets including the UK, Europe, China, and India. UK pricing starts at approximately 38,950 GBP for the Standard Range, about 43,495 GBP for the Long Range, and around 47,495 GBP for the Performance trim. These prices position the IM6 competitively against other premium electric SUVs, offering compelling range and performance.
Reviews and Customer Impressions
Automotive reviewers have praised its commanding presence, advanced styling, and feature rich cabin. While some driving dynamics reviewers noted it lacks the agility of traditional petrol SUVs, its comfort, technology, and swift acceleration are strong selling points. Owners report that it delivers excellent value and daily usability, applauding the long range, fast charging, and spacious interior.
Summary
The MG IM6 extends MG’s EV lineup into the compact SUV segment with flair. With a choice of range, performance, and price, it caters to a wide audience.
