I suppose in part at least to compete with the Chery group cars that are taking the UK by storm.
The Tiggo, Jaecoo and Omoda.

Don't think I'd have any of their EVs

Nor me they don't seem to rate that highly!

Carwow's COTY is the Chery Tiggo 8.
Must be rated by a few!

If it was judged by Matt Watson then I wouldn't pay any attention to that review, boy used to do decent reviews and tests but his EV testing is pretty biased in favour of ice cars now

Not to mention his Top Gear wannabe antics that have distracted from a lot of his reviews. It is a big shame, he used to be good. But there's some great competition out there these days.
Agree all the throwing the parcel shelf's into the bushes, until manufacturers that were lending him the cars told him to back it in.
And his EV journey costs never seem to take into account an initial 100% charge on a low EV rate

To be fair, I think the COTY award of any organisation wouldn't rest just on the decision of one individual.
He will be involved though, laddie is a tit

Bit harsh!
Used to be good for an objective review, now he's just all show.
Proper main character syndrome
Now now boys settle down !!! I’m waiting for a comparison test between some of the above mentioned and the MGS6 which I think will win hands down in every category except of course price.

I agree! Front electric seats for passenger and a HUD omg. I just had a chat with the dealer in Singapore here, and its targeted to arrive in Q1 2026.

I like bigger cars. More metal and space around you in a crash.

Saw my first MGS6 in the flesh this morning at our local Salisbury MG dealership.it was absolutely chucking it down with rain, I'll take a closer look tomorrow when I pick my S5 after they fix my Adaptive Cruise Control (, not holding breath)
Definitely looked good in a rather nice metallic gold.
So it's definitely here!

Now that with the light interior trim is just what might interest me. Not sure what extra the light trim puts on the price.

Gold paint is £695, don't think the beige interior costs anything extra

I spoke to our local MG sales manager and a couple of his sales team, regarding the snotty email I sent to MG regarding the irregularities of my S5 adaptive cruise control (in today to try and sort it out)
He pointed me towards the new S6, which had only just arrived on the transporter and still covered in delivery stickers, it definitely looked nice in the gold, but I thought the dark interior looked a bit bland, as @Les burrows mentioned, the light interior would be my choice too I think.
But it was suggested I wait 6 months or so to see if MG reduce the price of the S6 as they did with my S5, we'll wait and see, despite the few niggles with my S5, I really like the car.
