MGS6 Information & Reviews

[LenEV2016]

The BYD Sealion 7 is probably closest in terms of dimensions (4,830mm long, 2,930mm wheelbase), but the boot space is 520L with seats up / 1,789L with seats folded, and the Frunk is only 58L. The Sealion 7 has an RRP of £47k-59k too, so for a "challenger" brand, it's quite pricey compared to the MG.

Sealion 7 is a challenger for the IM6 and has been used in group tests I've seen.
If we are just going on size and space and not price we could say the S6 is challenger for the im6

I have test driven the Sealion7 extensively since it was a serious contender for me before I placed my for the IM6.
I would not class it as a contender for the IM6.
Plush interior for sure but that's it.
Tech wise same level with my wife's Atto3. 0 levels of automation.
Good performance but nothing to write home about.
Slow charging speeds unless you go for the £59k spec which again is not that fast.
Very, very soft suspension to the point of being annoying when speedbumps are around.

I have not driven the S6 but the IM is another level.

Another top gear review where I lost count of how many times the word Chinese is written.....

I tend not to take anything top gear reviews say as serious unbiased journalism - they have a very poor track record. No such problems with auto express or car wow though !

So budget has increased luxery car road tax limit for EV's from £40,000 to £50,000
Good news for most I would say.

 

[NikLiverpool]

From what I am reading this change (luxury tax to 50k) will be applied on April 2026 and forward and will not be applied retrospectively.
Therefore if you want to go for the middle and higher spec of the S6 you will have to wait till then.

Don't you start paying that in the second year not first

 

[NikLiverpool]

You do; but if the car is registered before April 2026 will it be exempt? Apparently not and when the 2nd year comes you will pay.
What I read is that the 'luxury tax' is one lump sum split between year 2 and 5. Therefore the registration date is when the clock starts.

Right; I may be wrong. I am finding conflicting information on the matter therefore I am going to zip it

It will apply to all vehicles registered after 1st April 2025 - that's what I have seen:

"Budget documents state the change to the Expensive Car Supplement to £50,000 is for zero emission vehicles only.

It adds that the change will take effect from April 1, 2026, and will apply zero emission vehicles registered from April 1, 2025."

I shared this in Message #11 alongside a bunch of others - but nobody replied to any of them, so I am wondering if other people are seeing what I posted.
